Art. She had me fooled....

I was so sure this was a real band, I searched the web for ages- trying to find them, their photos, songs. It was only then did I realise this was a mythical group. That is how well written this story was. The characters were alive. Their story, the push and pull of wanting verses needing, of trying to find a place for ones soul in a world of creative chaos... of the many ways true love can manifest....this story sits in your soul.
The narration, poetry, storyline, sub themes, emotions...together they move your spirit like a powerful artwork does. It shifts something in you, maybe the compassion we have in knowing how difficult this human experience can be. And the different ways we must learn to love, to maintain peace.
Just, wow.... :)

Amazing

I decided to listen to this book because everyone is talking, no actually, raving, about this book, and I get it now. It was such an amazing listening experience. I love the way the audible audiobook had the different narrators and where there was a little clip from each of them before going into the details of the part of the story being told. It was brilliant.
The story in itself was somehow inspirational as well. It was raw and real and amazing, but also very sad. It really made me reflect on my life and love and being who you are. This was a wonderful read and I will highly recommend it to any one.
This is the second book by Taylor Jenkins Reid I've read and she is now officially one of my favourite authors.

Broke my heart in the best way

I’m not a music person. I used to be though. At first I thought I’ll skip this book despite the hype because I didn’t really like The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (Jenkins Reid’s previous novel).

This however, really truly blew my socks off. I felt I was in my twenties again, following a band and wanting to be in a band. If you think this is about music, you’re right. But it’s so much more than that. It’s about unrequited love, about saving yourself, about soulmates, and so much more. I loved it to my core. I bought a physical copy to keep in my library just so I can relive the feeling I get hanging out with Daisy Jones and The Six.

Choosing to listen to the book REALLY ‘amplified’ the experience. The book is written in oral history form, and it’s the best format for listening via audiobook.

A MUST listen

Absolutely loved listening to this. Everything from the story line to the character development intrigued me. The narration was also excellent!

perfeito audiobook perfeito

I had already read this book last year but I decided to listen to it before the TV series and it's a perfect experience, it has one voice for each character.. I missed only the lyrics that was in the end of the book! PT gente esse é o audiobook com as vezes diferentes pra cada personagem, e é perfeito! Apenas escutem!

Unparalleled experience- this is an audible must have

I know a lot of love stories follow a lot of tropes but a mockumentary with as much angst as this one had. It’s gut wrenching, the story and set in a period that was truly rock n roll felt like too good a premise and I was afraid it wouldn’t deliver. But boy, did it deliver in spades. However, I do wish much like Lauren Rowe with her music that pair with her books or Colleen hoover with maybe someday, I wish the author had actually produced the album Aurora. I can’t wait for the series and the soundtrack. I really really hope they use the lyrics accompanied in the book because that album could be a work of art. And the audiobook specifically had so many beautiful voices, not your usual romance audio narrators but nevertheless everyone did a stellar job and it’s a shame to not go through experiencing this book via audiobook, I don’t think reading the book would I have truly captured the essence of the book as much.

Just wow!

I absolutely LOVED this story. If it weren’t for all the reviews I would have googled all of the songs, characters, everything, but I knew beforehand that it was fiction. This could very well have been a true story and it had me wishing it was the whole time. I would have definitely been a fan of the band! I really loved the song lyrics. I heard it will be made into a movie or tv series- I have VERY high expectations..especially for the soundtrack. Added bonus for Taylor Jenkins Reid fans, Mick Riva is mentioned, making a connection with the rest of her books. Lastly the audio production is amazing- the cast sounds so authentic you feel like you’re listening to real interviews- and Daisy’s speaking voice adds so much more personality to the character itself. Overall one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to. I feel like the audio version is so good that I would recommend it over the book version.

one of the most boring books i have ever read

Reading this was a waste of time. It is just purely aesthetics. I didn't like it at all. I don't know why everyone was raving about it.

The greatest music era, the 70's and 80's!

The best Audible book ever. Loved the characters, the voices, the drama and the stories.

It did not disappoint

it was pretty good, it got me engaged with the storyline and the characters from the beginning, also I really enjoyed all the details about the music and the lyrics.
I never try to guess who the interviewer was, I got very surprised.
