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.

The style is interesting, but difficult to connect with as it's all interview transcripts.  I didn't much like Daisy, but I felt like I was supposed to.  Nobody was very nice to anyone, and that always makes for a difficult book.  But I did like Karen, and also Camilla.

The reveal of who the interviewer is did make me go 'oh', although that was partly because I'd felt like we were building up to hearing that that character died!  So I misread that a bit as it went along I think!

It's really well crafted and constructed, it just didn't move me as much as I thought it might.

The ending was a bit anticlimactic, but the ride was a lot of fun. Manages to make selfish, drug-addled rock stars relatable and even, at times, likeable. An incredibly binge-able book with scenes stolen straight from Almost Famous and Free People catalogs. Did it blow my mind? No. Did it entertain me? Absolutely.

Me encantó este libro, cuando empezaba a leer no quería parar. 
Es el segundo que leo de esta autora, y por ahora mi favorito.
Los personajes son interesantes y la narración en forma de entrevista da mucho juego, hace que la historia no tenga un solo narrador aunque haya dos claros protagonistas. Me gustaron mucho los momentos en los que contaban algo y el siguiente en hablar lo recordaba de forma distinta, era gracioso y realista, y también ayudaba a definir la personalidad del que hablaba.
La historia de 10, todo muy intenso y emocionante.

Spoiler

Aunque la duración del grupo fue corta, estaba todo tan bien hilado para llevarlo a su fin, que me encantó un final tan repentino pero a la vez natural.

 
En general todos los personajes están muy bien escritos. Me gustó mucho Daisy, pero Billy me gustó aún más, su parte de la historia me parecía más interesante, con más matices. 
Es un libro que me ha encantado de principio a fin, y seguro que lo volveré a leer.
