Definitely entertaining as an audiobook, but the story was pretty predictable and left me with the "Oh, that was it?" feeling. Nonetheless, I'm excited to watch the television show!

I really didn’t expect to like this book as much as I did. But the interview format made it entertaining and fun to read, and the story was one that kept me hooked the whole way through. 

Definitely worth the read!

Daisy Jones & The Six brings more depth to classic rockstars that were wrapped up in drugs, sex, and music. Written interview-style, different perspectives of events are provided throughout the book and you can see how things affected everyone, particularly the actions of troubled Billy and Daisy. I enjoyed the focus on songwriting, relationships amongst the band members, and the hopeful ending. I definitely would recommend if you’re a fan of music from this time period!

Very different from what I usually read, but definitely lived up to the hype. Highly recommend the full-cast audiobook.

The audiobook is definitely the way to go with this one. I don’t think I would have enjoyed the formatting otherwise.

This book is phenomenal. The author is really good at creating characters that feel real. The Six feels like a real band. These relationships, these hardships… There is also an empathetic and responsible approach to some very dark themes.

However, I disliked the part with the infamous Italian character. It came out of nowhere and ended abruptly. It could have been left out. The resolution could have happened without it. I also disliked that ending. It felt like a cop out.
