The oral history framing was cool at first but I quickly was bored by it. I also felt like the stakes were too low and I rarely felt any tension. The middle was a bit of a slog to get through even though I did want to know what would happen.

The best audiobook I’ve ever read. By far. The performances are so believable and well scripted that I was genuinely very confused about whether they were real or not!

Fans of documentary style dramas will appreciate the confessional style and pacing. TJR does a masterful job creating an alternate pop culture where none of the characters are real but they all *could* be real. The twist toward the end was nice but it felt a little forced and didn’t really give the reader time to fully grapple with what it meant. It was surprise for the sake of surprise and didn’t really change much about the story.  Even so, it was a beautiful yet fun story about complicated people and my only regret is that I can’t on a Wikipedia deep dive about all of them.

I’m convinced the only way to experience this book is through audio. It was incredible with a full cast. I don’t think I would have had the same enjoyable experience without it!

4.0

A slow read due to the formatting, the characters are memorable and the end, though abrupt and even anticlimactic, packed and emotional punch. I didn’t like how the lyrics were all at the end. I flipped back to refer to them often and by the time I finished the book didn’t care to read the ones I hadn’t read yet. TJR always writes memorable characters which is really what I come to books for.

Daisy Jones and The Six is a great example why the 1980’s-1990’s was the best time and worse time for Bands. It takes you into a world of friendships, Brotherhood, situationships, and relationships. And made the book about love, family and addiction. Perfection at its finest.
