Reviews with content warning for Injury/Injury detail - Daisy Jones & The Six

I love this book so much, idk what exactly it is about it but its just so good. I love that you have Billy, Daisy, Karen, Graham, Camila and Simone telling the main story and then the people who worked with the band/industry filling in the gaps and then Warren is just there chilling like he doesnt really add to much (not a bad thing tho) and then I think my favourite more for what they bring is Eddie who is really helping the ‘why did they break up sub plot’ and just spends the whole time complaining about anything and everything.

Also it makes you think the whole time that hes going to be the problem child and the reason why they broke up but he's not

The last 20% of this book is soo good, again i cant really put it into words but so much is happening and its all coming to a head and its just beautiful (makes me cry but it’s beautiful and i wouldnt change it)

Billy’s monologue (idk if its actually that but idk what else to call it) after the band talks about the SNL performance will probably always be one of my fave bits of text, the emotions in it are unmatched and no man will ever top it

Rereading it once you know who the narrator/author is really gives so many different bits so much more emotions when added to the context its just so good

Full cast which I loved as it really brought the characters to life and you really felt the emotions from them, especially from Billy (which left me crying in public several times)

I won't lie there are about 10 different POVs which does get confusing at first, especially if the character didn't introduce themselves before they started speaking, however having so many really gave you the insight of why the band fell apart and kept me hooked as the different pieces started to fall into place

If you have access to the audiobook version I can't recommend it enough

In the beginning I thought the band The Six actually existed. Did I research Daisy Jones? Maybe. Did I google Billy Dunne and was surprised when it said: Fictional Character? Possibly.

I found the book entertaining. The different view points were extremely well and gave the characters depth. Although, I think some characters like Eddie or Pete were more in the background and some of their final decisions just came and went with not a lot before hand. The reader just has to accept their point of view, but with Billy, Camilla or Daisy they really explained their opinions more in depth.

There were no real plot twists, but I still enjoyed reading this book.

Um WOW. This might have been the most immersive book I’ve ever read! The 70s encapsulated in every way, the good and the bad. The way it was written—in a unique sort-of magazine interview style—was really cool and made the characters seem all too real. Even with little “action” or typical descriptions, the dialogue captured everything about the band’s rise to fame, what they felt, what they pursued, who they were, who they loved. I couldn’t get over how alive TJR made each character seem, just by giving them words to say. There was so much to uncover between the lines. Never has lone dialogue conveyed so much.

Growing up listening to Fleetwood Mac and being enamored with the band’s history and relationships made this book even more fascinating for me. You can clearly tell the inspiration is there, the similarities between Daisy and Stevie and Billy and Lindsey, etc., but it still felt like its own thing. I’m so excited for the show adaptation because I desperately need the band to be real. And the lyrics! Ugh they’re beautiful.

This book is hyped for a reason. Believe it.
