Probably closer to a 3.5.

There was so much hype for this book that I found it to be a bit of a let down- but here's the thing. Someone should make this into a movie/musical. Call Gaga and Bradley and make it happen. It would be good, probably better than the book.

I think the format of this book made it hard for me to feel attached and really get into this book for the first 3/4. In fact, I read slow- slower than I normally do because while I enjoyed it, it just wasn't making me need to read it for hours on end.

The last quarter is great- emotional, unexpected, bittersweet.
I think if you love classic rock then you'll enjoy this one. It's a bit like indulging in another re-watch of Almost Famous.

Edit: I wanted to see if anyone else had this idea and apparently Reese Witherspoon is producing a TV show. (My unwanted/unearned opinion is that it should be a movie or musical. )
