Daisy Jones And The Six (book review)



Dear Reader.

Today I’m going to be reviewing Daisy Jones and the six by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Yeah, I should really stop opening with that. Like yeah, no shit sherlock. Anyway, so I’m currently in Spain on vacation and I’m going to be here for the next 3 weeks which is great but I have no wifi so uploading will be slow and not paced in the slightest. But, the good news is I’m gonna try and read a ton so I can review as many as I can for you.

So, Daisy Jones and the six. What a book. I have never read anything quite like it.

It was a journey, to say the least. It was very poetic. I loved how we got to hear from everyone’s perspective and how the author really used that to make the book flow. The writing was very beautiful. It’s soooo intriguing and really makes you feel like your right there with them.

(Just had a power cut lol.)

This is that kind of great book where when you finish it you just want to be the main character. Like when I finished it I wanted to write songs which is very random and I can’t sing so I don’t really know what happened there.

Our main character Daisy was such a beautiful, unique and lost soul. I felt so attached to her whilst reading this book. She really reminded me of Lilly James but wilder. I felt like I was Daisy’s best friend, Simone. All I wanted to do was keep her safe and be around her. Daisy is so awesome and she was written so you could really see her being the girl she is in the book, in real life back in the seventies.

I really liked Billy’s story. He was kind of like a pic and mix, you kept thinking you knew him and then he’d pull out another quality and you’d see a brand new side of him. He was very complicated and he made the book 10 times better.

I also loved our complex relationship between Graham and Karen. I was routing for them the whole time and was heartbroken when it didn’t work out, though I thought it was a brilliant ending.

That’s another thing about Daisy Jones and the six. It really proper breaks your heart into a thousand pieces. It’s also kind of depressing but only at the end. It’s a real rollercoaster. I was so sad when I finished it, I couldn’t even sleep. I literally stayed up thinking about Karan and Graham and Billy and Daisy all night.

The setting for the book was very well done. I really got a feel for the seventies whilst reading.

There was this one line I really loved. It was one of the lyrics for the songs, I think it was; Make a list of things you regret/ I’ll be on top/Smoking a cigarette.  I thought that was really cool.

Anyway, back to what else I loved. When we found out Daisy and Billy where in love my heart kind of burned into mush on the floor. I also loved when me found out Julia was the author, I thought that was a really nice touch.

When the band broke up, at first, I was devastated and didn’t really think the reason for doing so was valid. However, then I let the details sink in and I was so like in awe of the book all I could do that following day was be sad and play Dreams on repeat because it reminded me on Billy and Daisy for some reason even though It’s country and not Rock ’n’ Roll.

So, to sum it up. I loved Daisy Jones and the six a lot. I thought it was absolutely fantastic.
5/5 Hands down. Really recommend. Haven’t felt that way about a book in ages.

Love

7 Songs that...

snow-dance-alana-tousignant.jpg (900×675) (fineartamerica.com) Dear Reader,  This is a book blog, with a strange amount of Taylor Swift references sure, but a book blog still.  Today, I choose to write about music!  These songs, the 7 favourites and 3 honourable mentions I have picked are unexplainably attached to my mind. In this blog, I try to explain.  Let's get started:  1. "Heroes" by David Bowie  Despite my adoration of Bowie, who I own 1/2 of his discography on vinyl,  several vintage collectors magazines of, and 4 thrifted posters hung up in my room of- my attachment to this song, funnily enough sprung from my love of a book- so I would say is a great number one for easing my regular readers into this change of brand (don't worry this is a one time thing). To those who have digested the novel/film: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, you will know the scene where these characters, some of my all time favourites, drive through a ...

Just for December by Laura Jane Williams

Just for December by Laura Jane Williams: review Dear reader,  To Start with, thank you so much for the lovely girls at Avon Harper Collins for gifting me this proof around the holidays! This book was absolutely delightful, and extremely well timed. I cracked open this book on the same day the skies decided to comply with Michael Bublé and while it might not be a white Christmas, as the rain seems to have washed it away now, it made to be pretty idyllic conditions to read this book. I went into this book feeling festive and ready for something to give me all the fuzzy Christmas feelings, which it provided along with a lot more feelings than I predicted. Williams manages to craft cliches and worn-out tropes to make them seem like nothing of the sort and in fact- revive them. Enemies to lovers has not been done so humanly in a very long time, and all you have to do to see that statement holds meaning is scroll through my other reviews and see that the enemies to lover’s trope...

Before the coffee gets cold a book talk (Non-spoiler! You're welcome)

Before the Coffee Gets Cold: Amazon.co.uk: Kawaguchi, Toshikazu, Trousselot, Geoffrey: 9781529029581: Books Dear Reader,  This review will not contain spoilers, so feel free to read if you haven't yet read the book, and with that let's begin:  These stories definitely build in intensity as you plough on, with subtly building engagement. The first two stories for me provided little interest, a point at which usually I would choose to DNF and call my loses. However, something about the writing, simple but almost translucent into the lives of these individuals, gave me the impression that it had more to give despite the seemingly stagnant story endings.  I think the best way to describe my growth to loving this book is recognising the beauty within its simplicity. As a predominantly YA reader myself, I couldn't help but expect this book to tie up in a perfect interloping knot at the end. My hope of this, I see now, may have blinded me to the crystal  humanity being bare...
