This book took me a little time to get into; it's pretending to be about real people being interviewed about past events, so I kind of had to get over that. Once I got interested in the characters I couldn't put it down.
The idea is that "Daisy Jones and the Six" are a late-seventies rock band who broke up despite their popularity, and the author is doing a documentary-type-thing to uncover the reasons why.
That the answer is infighting and drug addiction will surprise no one who has ever seen an episode of "Behind the Music." Still, to paraphrase Tolstoy, all unhappy rock bands are unique, and the story got very interesting near the end. It's more honest than any REAL rock-band-expose could ever be.
