abbyl819's review against another edition
4.0
Overall this was a really complex and entertaining book that dealt with a lot of issues. It was written so realistically that at times I would have believed that they were a real band. I liked the relationships between the mains characters and how they developed over time. I did enjoy this book and found it entertaining, but I guess my expectations were really high after hearing so many rave reviews about it, and I was not as floored with it as it seemed like I should have been. I read this physically, not on audiobook, which I have heard is really good.

the waterfall of tears in my eyes are preventing me from writing a review so come back later for your regularly scheduled programming.

I'd recommend this book to anyone in a reading slump. I could not put it down. The transcript format is not my favorite, but I still enjoyed the characterization and story progression.

definitely a great book. tjr writing is really good, and i’ve felt like that the characters were real, the band were real, that everything in the book was real.
the story was really interesting, i wasn’t tempted to put the book down at any moment (which is very rare)
i would recommend it.

The format took a little while to get used to but afterwards it was a great story. Absolutely sobbed at the ending (all happy tears). Really showed some of the realities that people similar to the characters faced in the ‘60s and ‘70s.
