It's an oral history of a made-up band in the 1970s, and is almost entirely character-driven. And what characters! Daisy, the talented and beautiful singer with serious drug and alcohol issues; Billy, the self-proclaimed leader of the band, trying so hard not to abuse alcohol again, trying never to cheat on his wife again, resisting temptation, chasing his dreams. All of the other characters are strongly drawn, especially Eddie, who whined for the entire book, and whom nothing could satisfy. I didn't think I'd like the book because I don't listen to music much, but it was honestly an education: I learned quite a bit about old-fashioned sound mixing, how songs are written, and how music management and producing work. You don't need to be a music-lover to enjoy every page of this novel. I'll be keeping this book around for a second read sometime down the road. Hands down one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever experienced. I am typically not a fan of books narrated by multiple people but the actors and narrators who performed this did a great job. The characterizations and emotions they conveyed were very well done and you got to know and feel for each of them. The story of the band and its members kept me interested and rooting for them and also disliking them when appropriate. Highly recommended. Oh my god. This book was a rollercoaster. I owned this book before I watched the series but never read it so I thought why not read it now - after I spoiled everything for myself. BUT the whole concept of a book written by the author made it an absolute god send. A key figure that was in the middle of the creation and downfall of the band. I love the fact that no one in this book was actually good people throughout the 70s (mainly: Eddie, Billy, and Daisy) as they all did stuff that was wrong. I stand by the fact that Simone was an absolute god. I will die for the women. So was so underrated! The inconsistencies between people’s accounts was funny as well. One person says something and Billy says the complete opposite however I do think it was due to the fact he thought he was right in that moment. He does deny a few things through this.
Like I said, this was a good book. The writing was good, the scenes were vivid, the characters had depth. I just simply didn’t like it on a personal level. Prix et récompensesDistinctionsListes notables

Daisy Jones was the “it” girl of the 1970’s with a unique look and a voice designed for belting out rock tunes. She was just getting herself known when the record company decided to put her together with an up and coming rock band entitled The Six. History was made when Daisy and the lead singer of The Six, Billy Dunne got together. Sparks were flying but Billy was married to a woman that he genuinely loved, he was battling his addictions and trying to stay sober. Daisy was a wild child and thought nothing of indulging in alcohol and whatever drugs were available. Billy knew she was trouble and although they were magic together on stage and off, he tried to avoid her.
Beyond Daisy and Billy, the author has built a believable rock band and peopled the book with realistic characters. Each band member is unique and has their own point of view and although the outcome is a little cliched this was a great read. Daisy Jones & the Six is a homage to the seventies and it’s he-said-she-said style is layered, entertaining and addictive. ( )
