Aurora through Aurora World Tour - 84%
(view spoiler)[
Well, I'm glad Billy is still sober and faithful, though he is drawn to Daisy. I had hopes for Daisy to straighten herself out, but I think if the call about Teddy's death hadn't come in she would have put a move on Billy. Then she went off the wagon again. I'm pulling for Billy.
As far as Graham and Karen, I had a feeling they were going to come to a bad end. They had very different ideas of their relationship and the pregnancy brought it to a head.

I am about halfway through Daisy and hope to finish tonight. Has anyone else started reading this yet?
The Numbers Tour and half of Aurora - 53%
This is an awkward book from breaking into quarters.
(view spoiler)[ This part is where the band personalities begin to assert themselves and where Daisy and Billy learn to work together.
I really sympathize with Billy's situation, trying to stay on the wagon and knowing that Daisy lives a life that could break his resolve. At least Daisy seems to realize that she needs to shield Billy from the drink and drugs. Hopefully that continues. Daisy is not my favorite character and I hope there is a change to her lifestyle in the future.
I like the dynamics of Billy and Daisy figuring out what songs to do and how to do them, especially the push and pull of recording Impossible Woman.
I know there is a blow up coming because obviously the band stops recording. It will be interesting to see what causes it.

The beginning thru Seven Eight Nine - 26%
(view spoiler)[Chapters alternate with interview material related to Daisy and interview material with The Six. In Seven Eight Nine the interviews involve everyone. This is an interesting way to tell the story after the fact and I'm glad it doesn't do a lot of foreshadowing. I like discovering everyone's take on things as they interpreted it at the time, seeing things in many perspectives, but not alluding to how it was going to end.
As far as The Six's rise and their lifestyle, it seems predictable as a band story, especially Billy's and his attitude of being in charge of the band but unable to control himself. Daisy's life is less so. Her life and where it goes is very groupie with an undertone of 'I should get whatever I want' and 'I shouldn't have to bend to get what I want' and 'I know what's best.' Both are set for a clash. (hide spoiler)]
