I guess the most significant changes were: 1. Positives and negatives - Camila's story; I like her development as more than a shadow of Billy, but I always consider her a powerhouse even in the book. 2. Negative - Karen's personality: I don't mind the accent, but she's excellent in the book and almost forgotten in the series. 3. Positive - I loved to see a storyline for Simone, - negative: but why only her? (again, more space for Karen. 4. Negative - The twins! Why? That was so argghh. 5. Negative - Daisy's beginner's career is way better in the book. 6. Negative - Daisy and Billy's kisses (arfff - Hollywood. Personally, I enjoyed the show, it made me appreciate the book even more, and I love the music (huge accomplishment) #imo. The image impact of the concerts is amazing. You see the band TJR created becoming a legend; it's like they truly existed.

A lot of the changes they made were very Fleetwood Mac-esque inspired. Billy meeting Teddy at the convenience store, thats how I believe Buckingham got his shot. People up and leaving the band is something that happened to all bands, but since the inspo was fm, thats the reason I think they wanted the band to experience loss earlier in their story, the time jump couldve been shortened since all the actors are so young, but it works because of how Fleetwood Mac reunited 20 years after their rumors album to perform as a complete unit in the 90s. All in all, this adaptation works really well, and I can see the inspiration behind the series which makes me love it more.

While I appreciate giving her a job and more screen time, there is an element of Camila's changes that I think actually diminishes her character, that I'm not satisfied with. In the book, she always seemed bigger than the band, like she had a whole life beyond it and didn't concern herself too much with it, being absolutely sure of her place and her intentions. In the show, she's a lot more dependent on the band and their drama and understandably starts to feel more insecure when things start to get rocky. It's still an interesting way to portray her character, but I think they're losing some of the nuance

I love when they made Camila AND Billy cheat as if that would justify that change, the fact that Billys working so hard to change and not fall into temptation was erased in an instant and Camilas dedication to her family no matter who stands in the way, no matter if its faith or destiny itself, gone in a poof. Theyre just a joke now just like the songs. Karen was also not that passionate about music because she didnt get pregnant and got an abortion to show how much shes not the family type and would rather do music forever if she can.

They didn't mention my favorite change from the book. I usually am very hard on changes from the source material but Daisy's changes I actually enjoyed better than the book. I can't believe Daisy's overdose scene wasn't on this list. Having Billy find her and Nicky running away instead was fantastic. In the book Nicky finds her but changing it to Billy was much more meaningful. The scene the next day too where Daisy pieces together something is wrong and remembers it was Billy there for her and not Nicky was also quite powerful.

I feel like the biggest change was to Daisy in the book she was literally forced into being a singer, she only wanted to write songs and the career fell into her lap. Im the show, Daisy works hard at obtaining a music career, both in singing open mics and having a job as a waitress. Also, her first album was already finished and she opened for The Six in another tour before she joins the band. It was during that tour that the Rolling Stone article is written which basically forces the Six to ask her to join the band.

My favorite change was that they gave Simone a storyline in the show because, in the book, she was essentially the black best friend, and not much else other than she became a disco singer, got married and divorced, and had a child. My least favorite change was Karens personality because, in the book, she made it known that she wants to be known for her art and didn't want to be a wife or mother though she does get pregnant and gets an abortion. In the show, she's just there other than being with Graham.

Simone's story line felt like a totally different show. The fact that you could edit out her entire story arc from the show and it wouldn't have affected the Band or the ending at all really speaks to how shoehorned in and forced that character was. It killed the momentum of the story so many times and came at the expense of spending more time with other members of The Six.
As someone who hasn't read the book and has played in several bands my entire life that seems like a net loss.

One big change I hated was changing the final concert from the day that disco died to the 4th of October 1977. Because the Aurora album came out in 1978, the year after the album it was clearly based on, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Also, I expected Karen to have an American accent due to The Six being an American band, but since Suki Waterhouse spoke in her native English tongue, and that this is loosely based on Fleetwood Mac, an Anglo-American band, I found that to be acceptable.

I think while the actress that plays Daisy does a grate show, doesn't capture the magnetism that she has in the book. In the bolk she is misterious and vibrant and you can't keep your eyes out of her.
I think the vibe Daisy has in the book is similar to that one scene when Camilla has the all white outfit with the sun glasses and is pure glamour. I imagined her less hippy and more along the lines of the stile a mix od Camilla and Karen had. More rock and roll

i LOVED this show, but i really wish they didn't change the ending. Billy's almost-relapse was such a compelling part to read, and it feels like they changed it just to make daisy and billy make out. They also changed the life-changing conversation that daisy & camila had in the hallway, with julia there (& her character reveal. They changed it to just be Camila yelling at Daisy for cheating with Billy when they hadn't done anything besides kiss once.

I loved how much more development they gave to Simone and Camilas characters. I think the book shows more of the six. I felt like in the book, you could definitely see more of Eddies hate towards Billy lol. And Im curious of how its going to end because since the book took place 40 years later, and how the book ended with the interviewers reveal and why she did it. Im curious how they will bring that up in the show.

-> Maybe We're The 1st Spiritist Pop-Metal Or Rock Band In This World
-> But Don't Pay Much Attention To Our Neanderthal English, Ha Ha Ha
NOTE:
-> Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation
It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries.

I loved both the book and the tv series. But I wish that the series would have shown how much Daisy hated herself for having feelings for Billy because he was with Camilla. I don't think she was envious of Camilla in that sense, it was more of a connection that she couldn't stop from growing. In the series, she looks like she's not sorry for trying to take Billy from Camilla at times.

Also, Eddie literally HATED Billy in the books. In the show it just seems like they occasionally don't see eye to eye, but there is definitely not the same kind of loathing like in the books.
Besides that, Billy was much more self-centered in the book. He didn't care about anything but his own opinion and definitely was not in the we are family vibe

I would have rather seen a deeper side story on one of the band members than Simone. Daisy was a hippie & would not have chosen a pop singer to admire. I thought that was a big flaw by the writers. I disliked Simone's character so much I would always fast forward through her scenes & the ever exhausting gay scene which is mandatory in every thing.

even though pete was barely there in the interviews, his character was integral. his one and only interview was so important, especially to the book readers. it's a realistic depiction of artists who don't want to be back in the limelight, which made his interview so surprising and all the more important.

I love the series a lot more than the book, but there were details in the book, that weren't in the show. Love the whole thing though; all the cast did a fantastic job with the singing and the guitar playing and the acting; Sam Claflin and Riley Keough were amazing throughout the whole show. (from Sandi)

I never even heard of this until I saw the ad on my Amazon Fire, and 4 episodes were out already. I saw people writing about the book, but assumed it was written off of the series! It made me not want to read it. Been there, did that. But now I am wondering. still not convinced I want to read it. Weird.

I feel like, with the book being a biography of the fictional band, they omitted some details while talking to Julia about it. the show was showing us how it ACTUALLY happened from the band members' memories. Sure, there are some inconsistencies, but i feel like the show and the book go hand in hand.

The only change that bothered me was the change to daisys story and journey to stardom. I wish they would have given that the attention it was due. In the book shed already released an album and begun making a name for herself by the time shes brought in to sing on Honeycomb.

A big change was not including Billy and Camillas twin girls in the show. It was an important aspect in the book because it was Billys second chance of being there for his wife during labor and being able to hold them as newborns since he didnt get to do that with Julia.

They chose to do a 20 time jump instead of 40. There was prosthetics and aging makeup that was going to be used on the cast but it made them too old to be in their 60s. More subtle changes was easier to do and make them look like their somewhere in their 40s.

I was really disappointed that they changed the lyrics to Honeycomb. Like in the show, Bill and Daisy argue over the wording of a particular verse, and later performances of said song symbolize changes in their relationship.

Billy and Daisy's relationship is also changed a lot in the show. While in the book, it's all nuance and subtext and hidden meaning, they amp up the drama in the show and make it much more overt. I mean, Hollywood, right?

Daisy is was too clean in the show. I loved how raw Book Daisy was. The Series was way too flat and boring in my opinion. Also, they should have had different actors playing the young and the old versions of the characters.

Thanks for pointing out how weird the time jump was. I'm the same age as the band is supposed to be. I guarantee you I did not look that youthful in my 50's (which the band would have been if the time jump was 30 years)

I appreciate that they didn't copy the book word for word, or plot by plot. My favourite change would be giving Camila and Simone more agency of their own, and not simply as extensions of Billy and Daisy respectively.

This adaptation was perfect. Whatever changes they made were appropriate for tv and still kept the nature of the story in tact. And now I can look to the book and tv show for incredible scenes and lines.
