Review: Love it! - Great condition and very good book Review: Fast paced enjoyable read - First off- some things I gotta say rightaway. What I liked- the format. Its in the form of interviews with various members of the band and so on who are looking back at the glory days. Here, one character says a few lines. Then the next. And the next. And so on. So you get multiple POVs right through the book. What I didn't like- the format. Its in the form of interviews. All the way. Literally. I found this a bit disorienting as it took away a bit of the narrative flow. By the time, measured in seconds, you get used to seeing stuff through one character's eyes, the POV has changed. But either way, its an interesting never-before format. And once you get in sync with it, its great. The story. If you are a fan of Fleetwood Mac, you might enjoy this a bit more. Daisy Jones is a talented singer and song writer. She unfortunately gets no breaks. Billy and Graham Gunne are the members of The Six. Their band seems to be stagnating at a 'they are kinda ok' level. The Six is looking for a female singer. So the twain do meet. And sparks fly. In more ways than one. The book narrates how the Six becomes Daisy Jones and the Six. How the various members react to their fame and how they feel about each other. Probably this is where the format scores- we get to see both sides of a particular situation almost simultaneously. And why they do what they do. The book traces the rise and ultimate fall of the band. Yes, unfortunately. You do get a sense of foreboding as the story progresses- mainly because of the self destructive nature of some members. And partly because of the blurb (so this is not a spoiler). The setting of the story was another thing I liked. The music recording process, how the album cover was designed, how the studio worked- details about stuff that I had absolutely no idea about, was worth a few points on the plus side. At the heart of the book is the story of Daisy and Billy. My favourite character and probably the one that emerges from the narrative is Camilla. Not Daisy or Billy. The book has the lyrics of the band's songs at the end. In case you want to try out for the Six.
