Daisy Jones & The Six

OMG. Finally. I thought my eyeballs were never going to get to the last page.

I really don't get all the hype and the gazillion star ratings with this one. Well, I think I kinda get why people would be so head over heals, I-need-all-the-heart-emojis-possible in love with the unrequited love story part. I didn't like it, but I get why some would.

Where this book really fell apart for me was the narration/style. It felt like one of those old VH1 Behind the Music shows only the subject matter wasn't invested in the story being told. Going with the transcript format the author used sucked the emotion out of everything. It was like reading a list you'd take to the grocery store. Take some drugs. Take a bus to (insert city of choice). Write a song. Argue with coworkers. Fly to Europe. Get married. Take drugs. Be drunk. Be sober. Etc. Etc. I kept hoping something in the writing would spark to life. Unfortunately the only thing that sparked to life was my irritation with the characters and why they were even bothering to sit through an interview - especially the self-entitled, all attitude, no substance Daisy.

Maybe the audio version would be better with multiple voices, however I'm not willing to sit through it to find out.

I will admit there were a few really good one liners and a couple of great quotes, but those alone do not make up for everything else.
