Great audiobook but not as good as The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo....

Daisy Jones & The Six is a historical fiction book which follows the band, The Six, and Daisy, as they find each other, their spectacular rise, and the end.

This is my third Taylor Jenkins Reid book, and I would rank them as follows: 1. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo 2. Daisy Jones & The Six 3. Malibu Rising. The audiobook was phenomenal, an incredible performance with an entire cast of characters. Whoever played Daisy had such an incredible voice, raspy, that it was just very unique and captivating. Additionally, it gave the depth and time that it needed. If I read [sigh], I read it super fast and move on, but it feels different when you actually hear a character perform it. The audiobook was definitely five stars.

Why didn't I rate this book 5 stars? There were a few too many characters. Even now, I am not too sure what value Warren, Eddie, and Pete brought to the story. I also found that this book dragged a bit especially after reading the true life story of David Grohl in The Storyteller. Some hard truth time: I thought Daisy Jones & The Six was real or at least based on a real life band. This is not entirely my fault though. The author put in an author's note that says, "This book is an attempt to piece together a clear portrait of how the renowned 1970's rock band Daisy Jones & The Six rose to fame." Well, liar liar pants on FIRE! Because this is a fictional story. I felt like a sucker for thinking that I could rely on the Author's Note at the beginning of the book.

Overall, an interesting read in an interesting format. This is one of the rare instances where I think that the audiobook is better than the printed format.
