I found the different characters to be a nice touch but the constant announcing of names was both helpful and annoying, which was odd. I found myself getting lost trying to keep apart some of the supporting roles. Overall though, the voice actors did well and helped convey the almost documentary type vibe of the recording. I could almost picture it on VH1 with each band mate giving their own accounts between clips. Some scenes left me with clear visuals of the situation being described (like the album cover photoshoot) and others left me feeling a little lost. For the most part though, I think the author does a great job of painting a picture of the scenes even though Daisy was the only character I could clearly imagine due to the many descriptions of her look.
All in all, it was a good read but maybe I just let the hype set me up for a bit of a let down. It wasn’t the best thing I’ve ever read like I was lead to believe could be the case. Not sure it’s re-read material for me but I don’t regret it. Maybe if I would’ve went in with no expectations I would’ve had different feelings about it. I did really like the end when they tied things up and were talking directly to the “interviewer.” Anyway, I’m rambling now as I try to sum up my thoughts. I think I’ve said what I needed to though so we’ll leave this here for now.
