I was so dissapointed with this book and don't really understand the hype that seemed to surround this book when it came out. Maybe it just wasn't meant for me.

The audio book is a dream. The book reads like a documentary transcript, and the audio book has different actors for the different voices.
The story is told through the characters’ interviews which creates a beautiful, multifaceted perspective of the narrative, with raw emotions from all the characters. Very satisfying read.  Also the author has included the song lyrics of all the songs mentioned and I’m just obsessed with that kind of commitment and attention to detail.

I didn’t expect to love this as much as I did, but what can I say except WOW! Every page was so vivid, the characters were all so interesting, it really felt like you were sitting there with them. Such incredible imagery done in this style of writing is really fascinating. The author really just put a documentary onto paper here, it’s so cool.
I was expecting a bit of a different twist, or a bit more of an explosive ending, but I think that was more because this is not the style of book I usually read. This is 100% character driven and it’s extremely well done, so I’m not unhappy in the slightest with how it was done or ended. 
I had such a great time, I finished the latter half within a day.

It took a while to get into the style of this book but once I did I enjoyed it. Although a traditional format would have been more gripping and fast paced I think it ultimately would have been more forgettable. I appreciate what the author was trying to do with the format, it was effective and something I've not seen before in a work of fiction.

formatted like a documentary, Daisy Jones & The Six follows this band through their rise to stardom and subsequent break up. The characters are incredibly realistic and their emotions and behaviours are very real, all of them are unreliable narrators so it’s funny when you read something from one person and then it’s told differently from another. I don’t have any personals experience with addiction but i think that topic was handled with tact.
