it was amazing
bookshelves: historical-fiction, this-book-tho

That's right... I'm calling this historical fiction! It feels like one of the last great pre-digital age novels, telling the story of a fictional 1970s phenomenon, Daisy Jones and the Six, using snippets of interviews from the band members, some of the entourage, friends, family and some of the media.

I'm finding it hard to explain why this book meant so much to me. From a personal perspective, it's what kids, when I grew up, aspired to. They didn't know or care about the internet, likes and emojis, they wanted to jam on stage and get to Number 1, for who they were, after working hard to get there.

This at first just feels like a band on the up story, but as we get more insight into the main protagonists we realise it's about creativity, individuality, family and the true nature and meaning of love -not bad for 300+ pages! A slam-dunk wonderful concept, read and package as a whole. 10 out of 12. - >FIVE STAR READ<

Mick Dubois So true, we all wanted to be rockstars. And a guy with a guitar was so desirable for girls.

Thanks Terrie.... I probably didn't notice having stopped watching Hollywood videos in the 1980s! :)
