The way the audiobook adapts the interview transcripts of the physical book is so clever with the use of incredibly talented narrators that make each character feel alive. I am not sure whether I would enjoy the physical book as much as the audiobook, but I would definitely recommend to give Daisy Jones and the Six a listen as the storyline and characters really lends itself to the audio format.

Enjoyed the narrative technique of the novel â characters recounting events in an interview, engaging in dialogue with the interviewer.Â
I was impressed with how Jenkins Reidâs wrote her charactersâ dialogue so conversationally. It was convincing and effortless.Â
I liked the stark discrepancies and contradictions between characters when recounting events. They were all unreliable in that way and I like how the story leaves the truth unclear.Â
I have a love/hate relationship with novels that are about music. Itâs the same dissatisfaction I feel when watching cooking shows. You can describe it and show it to me all you want but itâs not in my mouth.Â
I consumed this novel via audiobook and really loved that there was a full cast. It was like I was listening to a play on the radio. It was so emotive and artistically done. Arguably one of the best audiobook narrations Iâve heard.Â
I found the ending of the band sudden. We all knew it was coming but yet I still found the way it was written anticlimactic and incomplete somehow, and not in a satisfying literary way.
I found the attempt at actually writing the bandâs hit song âHoneycombâ and playing it at the end of the audiobook embarrassing??? You canât write a novel and paint a picture about how extraordinary and talented and huge this band was and then expose my ears to whatever that was and expect me to say, yes, people definitely would have gone crazy over this song. It was cringey.
