"Daisy Jones and The Six" is a book that is pure fun to read. It takes a look at a fictional rock band formed in the 1970's. The Dunne brothers, Billy and Graham, start as the nucleus and then, other musicians join the band. Ultimately, the impossibly sexy and talented singer Daisy Jones teams up with them and history is made. Audiences are enthralled as they watch sparks fly between Billy and Daisy as they sing. These two are unpredictable when they perform on the stage together.

The story is written as an oral history of the band, with members being interviewed by an unknown writer. These first hand accounts of their life experiences let the reader feel exactly what being in the rock band was like. The band members are very young to experience such heady success. The intense world of song writing, performing, and being on tour together is richly described. As someone who grew up in the 7o's, I enjoyed reliving this era with them.

The characters themselves and their dynamics with each other are fascinating. Central to the story are Billy Dunne and Daisy Jones. Their relationship is often stormy and changes throughout the story. Each is immensely talented, strong willed and prone to troubles with drug addiction. Yet, they often have very different reactions. Their lives do not parallel each other. The other characters are important to the story also, including Billy's wife Camila and his brother, Graham.

As entertaining as the book is, I also found it to be thoughtful and at times, profound.
