I greatly enjoyed reading this book, so why the low rating? The writing concept was really good, it was great even, but the execution was a bit sloppy at times. ALSO only having one account of Pete, the bassist squeezed in at the very end??? I thought he died before the books interview. And the fact he lived irked me. Yeah I cried and it was a very tumultuous journey and it felt so real i had to look up whether they were a real band or not (the answer: not until the show came out). That's all i have to say about it. Cool stuff.

the characters are very well written. they felt real, like it could actually be a real band. I felt the ending was slightly rushed. would've liked more context as to why the author decided to write it (without spoling if you've read it you'll know what I mean). overall easy to read and really enjoyed

literally just finished this so may have to come back and review it later because I’m actually quite speechless.

I haven’t enjoyed a book like this is a while. Can’t get over how immersive it was and how REAL it all feels. The way it’s written literally makes it feel like these are your memories you are reliving and that you are a reader eager to find out about the history of your favourite band.

The last two sections were so unbelievable and heartbreaking and soooo so good plot wise and character wise and I think I will be thinking about this book and the impact it’s had on me creatively for a whole.

The story telling was SO unique and gripping and I loved the use of all the characters as unreliable narrators collective creating a conceivable narrative.

can’t really say much more because quite speechless at the moment but just know that if you’re choosing between books/need sometime to get you inspired again READ THIS
