I loved this book and found myself listening constantly rather than just when I'm in the car. After I finished it I watched the movie, which I barely recognized. If you have already seen the movie and don't think you would like the book go ahead and give it a shot. They are very very different. The movie is so bad that I don't think I would have really even understood what was happening had I not already read the book. The book is legal thriller, very John Grisham like.

this book really keeps you guessing right to the very end. I love the peek inside the old Hollywood glamor. It has great character development. I love the plot twist! Great book.

such a great book told in a unique format. It is presented interview style in the various voices of each character as they give their different and often contradictory perspectives on the drugs, sex, and rock and roll that accompanied the rise and ultimate fall of a powerhouse arena band in the seventies. So realistic that I found myself googling them to find out if this was a real band. spoiler alert - it is not. but this book is so realistic that you will swear that you've heard their songs. I definitely think audio is the best way to enjoy this book so that you can actually hear the different voices.

This is a great storyline! I'll be very surprised if this is not made into a movie. Lots of twists and turns and I really had no idea where it was going. Great book!

It's been a long time since I've listened to a book that I wanted to sit in the parking lot at my office in the car and just listen. I could not make myself leave this book. It's the audio equivalent of a page turner. Lots of twists and turns. Nail biter!

This book is good enough to want to finish it, but is in no way riveting. It is actually quite depressing as we read about a slowly crumbling family.

I don't know what made me pick this book. I'm not a backpacker. I'm not even outdoorsy. But I was happy to find out neither is Cheryl, the subject of the book.
I love her voice, the way she seemed so normal. She just really seemed like a normal person. and she just did this extraordinary thing! She did it like it was a normal thing.
Here's how I judge if a book is good… If I think about it while I'm driving down the road or I'm at work or I'm eating lunch and I'm wondering what's going on in the book… Well, then that's a good book. This book did that for me. In fact I don't think I've read another book quite like it recently. Like- I even want to go DO this now- hike the PCT. Which is completely ridiculous because I'm 2x more out of shape than Cheryl started on the trail being. And I am not outdoorsy AT ALL. But her voice was so relatable that she actually inspired me.
So, yeah, this is a very good book.

Fresh and captivating. Loved it. This was an unexpected surprise. I especially loved the little news bytes throughout the story.
