Book Review of Daisy Jones & The Six

Daisy Jones & The Six
debbiemd avatar reviewed on


Great book. Story of how singer Daisy Jones joined the band The Six and their rise to fame. Until a show in Chicago in 1979 where the band broke apart. The story of their break was never told until now. The way this books is written is genius - so creative and made the story flow well. It is written as an oral history. As if someone is interviewing all the band members, their friends and family, music critics etc several years later as they tell their story. Despite the sometimes cryptic interview notes the story is still told well and with lots of emotion. This is typical 1970s rock band on the surface - sex, drugs, and rock and roll. But there is also lots of emotion and internal struggle and it is told well. For me the story dragged just a tiny bit in the middle, but in addition to loving the oral history/interview style, I loved the ending when you learned who the interviewer was, why the band broke up, and how they all turned out in the end.
