This is a well written quick read filled with interesting and morally gray characters that I really liked reading about (Daisy and Billy specially). And, although this story is nothing revolutionary, being that same old tale about rock stars fucking up their lives, it was mostly enjoyable and very realistic when presenting the problems that come with drug/alcohol abuse.
However, the ending completely disappointed me. The whole book is this build up to the night the band slit up. The tension between the characters keeps getting bigger and bigger and right when you are in the edgy of your seat, waiting for the big BUM, the tension deflates into nothing like an old balloon. And that is bad, considering that the mystery of why the band ended is de central piece and selling point of this book.
