When I read this one, people compared it to A Star Is Born. While a few points are similar, I don’t think it is a fair comparison. I think Daisy Jones and The Six stands in its own right.
How best to describe this one? It’s like reading an episode of the old VH1 show, Behind the Music. You get the backstory, the inside story, the triumph, and the heartbreak. You’re just reading it and imagining the video clips.
I enjoyed reading this one. The beginning was a little slow but it picked up, and I found myself turning the pages. I enjoyed getting to know the characters, with their current commentary interspersed with the words and actions of the past.
I felt it bittersweet towards the end, but also a satisfying ending. After all, life is bittersweet. I read this one in about a day. It was a perfect vacation read, but I’m a little mad at myself for letting it sit on the shelf so long. If you like stories of how the band got together, and what tore them apart, then Daisy Jones and The Six may be a perfect read for you.
