Most of the characters were messy and, often, downright unlikeable at various points but it made sense. These were bigger than life personalities and we were not meant to identify with them. Sympathize, maybe. Worry about them, castigate them, definitely. But they are not the sort of character you hang out with and have a nice chat. They're far too narrow-focused to be good company. Which actually made it interesting in the final chapter when we found out what everyone was up to post-band, post-fame.
To be 100% honest, though... I liked The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo better. :)

I really liked the characters, there was a strong cast of likable supporting characters, some of them were more superficial but still enjoyable.
I loved the setting - I'm a sucker for the 70s.
I'm really glad I listened to the book on audio, the full cast was amazing and gave a really distinct voice to each character, with great emotional preformances. I'm not even sure I would have made it though the book otherwise, cause the interview format in written form seems a bit boring. But the audio made it believable and engaging.
