~*Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid*~
5 out of 5 stars!
Another fantastic book by Taylor Jenkins Reid! I love "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and I loved this book just as much. I really feel that Taylor Jenkins Reid's books read best as audio books and this was the best audio book I have listened to. The cast was phenomenal. Jennifer Beals as Daisy,Pablo Schreiber as Billy and Benjamin Bratt as Graham and January LaVoy as Camilla were brilliant but for me Judy Greer really knocked the role of Karen Karen totally out of the park. Karen also happened to be my favorite character.
A wonderfully written,addictive and intoxicating novel that tells the story of Daisy Jones & The Six, the rock and roll scene from the 60's. Sex, drugs, rock n roll and of course love and heartbreak. The Six were doing well as a band, a hit here or there, your name on everyone's lips and yet there is something missing. That something is Daisy Jones, a groupie girl with a beautiful rough voice who also happens to be an extremely talented song writer. Daisy and Billy together? Fireworks! The problem is that Billy is happily married.
I loved the tangled relationships between the band members. This book really felt like you were back there with the band in the late 60's/70's. I devour books from this time. One of my all time favorite books is "I'm with the Band" by Pamela Des barres. This book really has that feel to it. I also couldn't help but see Daisy as Stevie Nicks in a lot of ways. Hell, the band felt like Fleetwood Mac and the big album? Totally felt like Rumours!
There is a very "blink and you miss it" call back to "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo". Just a few sentences but it was kinda cool.
If you are worried to read this after falling in love with "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" don't be. It is different of course but it is a wonderfully written book!
