Story
Walter Lucas doesn't believe in storybook love. Everyone is better off having as much fun as possible with as many people as possible - except his shy, sad little sack of a roommate is seriously screwing up his world view. As Walter sets out to lure Kelly out of his shell, staying just friends is harder than he anticipated. He discovers love is a crash course in determination. To make the grade, he'll have to finally show up for class - and overcome his own private fear that love was never meant to last.

Story
Luc O'Donnell is tangentially - and reluctantly - famous. His rock-star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next 20 years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice normal relationship...and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and someone who has never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. He’s perfect boyfriend material.

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

As a divorced man in my thirties with a throwaway job and very few friends, I admit that I've made a lot of bad decisions over the years. Rounding out the top of that epic list was allowing my son's best friend, Quinn, to talk me into taking him on a two-week summer road trip... alone. What was supposed to be quality father-son bonding time before Joshua went off to college has somehow transpired into a battle of wills between me and his nineteen-year-old best friend. Quinn may be young, but he genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with me, something I've never experienced before.

Story
As a divorced man in my thirties with a throwaway job and very few friends, I admit that I've made a lot of bad decisions over the years. Rounding out the top of that epic list was allowing my son's best friend, Quinn, to talk me into taking him on a two-week summer road trip... alone. What was supposed to be quality father-son bonding time before Joshua went off to college has somehow transpired into a battle of wills between me and his nineteen-year-old best friend. Quinn may be young, but he genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with me, something I've never experienced before.

Story
I don’t want Jason Vega. Not at all. It’s the worst idea ever. Ah, hell... Jason is handsome. Smart. Dangerous. Hot. He’s goddamn gorgeous - but he’s also sleeping on the street, hanging out with the local biker gang, and selling his body for a living. Our lives, our paths, couldn’t be further apart. I’m crawling toward the light while he’s falling into the dark. But it doesn’t matter how different we are or what logic dictates.

It was ok
It was ok. I really had a lot of issues with it. I’m not really sure if my problem with the book had something to do with the fact that I listen to the audio book. I wonder if it would be any different if I’d read it instead but I don’t really think so since I had not much problems with the narration itself. I liked the narrator’s voice. I did found a little difficult to difference between the characters but in general the flow of the story was good.
What I didn’t liked was the plot. It seem like hardly anything was going to happen. I was expecting a lot more in the romance area and I was left disappointed. I think the biggest issue I had was how difficult it was for me to connect with any of Daron’s emotions. He just wasn’t a sympathetic character, which was a little surprising considering his back story that I felt like I couldn’t really understand that well.
I guess I wanted so much more from the story and I just couldn’t get it. It might have something to do with the fact that is a part of a series because it really felt unfinished. It surely doesn’t work as a standalone. I’m not really sure if I’ll be reading the next instalments in the series, maybe some other time with a different state of mind and maybe reading it instead of listening to it, but that won’t be happening soon.

Really enjoyable
Daron's Guitar Chronicles Volume 1 is the first in a series of stories about the life of Daron, a young nineteen year old musician growing up in the 1980's in the world of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.
Check out the author, Cecilia Tan's video (on YouTube) which tells a little about how this series of books came into being.
I actually listened so the audio version of this book and quite enjoyed the narration by Teddy Hamilton. His voice and inflections really seemed to suit the story and the character of Daron.
The story itself is part of a larger journey, and this book only covers a small part of Daron's life. In this first book, we are introduced to Daron and his struggles to find his path in life. With dysfunctional parents who he no longer really sees or talks to, he is out making it on his own. He is trying to get his band up and running while earning enough money to fund his college course. He is also struggling with his sexuality and everything that goes along with discovering who he really is and what he wants.
A large part of the story is taken up with Daron accepting a roadie gig with the band of a friend of his father's. As he travels the country he meets some interesting people and has some interesting encounters - from a couple of sexual exploits with men to being actively pursued by a girl also on the tour.
This is not a romance, this is a character driven tale that introduces Daron - he is sweet and insecure and a bit confused - and tempts the reader into the next book of the series where Daron's journey continues.
This is a relatively short book, at least I think it is. I have the Kindle version but listened to the Audio version which is just over 4 hours long (the audio versions always take much longer for me as my reading speed is heaps faster than the narration). But as usual it was a great way to spend my commute to work over a couple of days!

Excellent
I ‘m left with a feeling of having lived a few days in the past with this character and his friends. It is very much a period piece, very evocative of that era when computer and cell phone are just beginning to have an impact on the music business and on the making of the music. I am left reflecting
on how some of Daron’s problems would be much different in present day. Recommended.

Good but a little stagnant
Have you ever read a book that you know is good, but you just can't really get into it?
That's the feeling I had through the vast majority of listening to Daron's Guitar Chronicles, at least the first volume. I bought it because I absolutely love other audiobooks that I've heard Teddy Hamilton narrate, with his masculine, wry tone. And he delivered here; I'm not sure I would have made it through the book otherwise. And it's not because there's anything "bad" about it. On the contrary, it's very well written. However, almost nothing actually happens. It seems to be a very long setup for the second book in the trilogy, where I assume the plot will pick up a bit,
Ok, I shouldn't say "nothing actually happens," because quite a bit happens, really. Daron is a young man who dreams of being in a rock band, and has the talent to make it big. He has a current band, though he once played with a band that went on to become famous, but they dumped him when they hit the big time (he was too young). Now he goes on tour with them, comes to term (or more specifically, stubbornly fails to come to term) with his sexuality, then goes back to the conservatory where he's studying and tries to get his band going.
It seems like that's a good skeleton for an engaging plot, but something about it just fails to ignite. I think a lot of the fault lies with the main character, Daron, who just sort of meanders through the book, seemingly just letting things happen to him. He doesn't really appear to have much of an opinion about anything, and you get the feeling you're listening to a catalogue of events rather than getting in the character's head, like reading the thoughts of a particularly boring teenager forced to keep a journal for 11th grade English class. An example: Daron is attracted to men, as we learn quite early in the book, and he is specifically NOT attracted to women, which we also learn pretty quickly. He's so matter-of-fact about these two facts that I spent about 3/4 of the story thinking that ok, he's in the closet and not happy about his sexuality (it is the 80's after all) but he obviously can admit to himself that he's gay. After all he's been to gay bars, had sex with no less than three guys and jumped through hoops to avoid having sex with a girl, and he didn't seem to be in denial of anything. But no, apparently he hasn't actually put a label on it yet. And not in a new age "I hate labels and anyway sexuality is fluid" sort of way (thank god), but a good old-fashioned "I don't want to say the word" way. This is a perfectly acceptable plot point, but it would have helped in his characterization immensely if the reader had been made aware of this fact long before we were. It totally changed my mental image of the character, and I don't think it was deliberate, it felt more like just something he had forgotten to mention.
I don't mean to say that the prose itself is high school level--like I said, the book is quite well written. I'll most likely listen to the second and third books of the trilogy, which are longer and promise more plot development. And I'll listen to Teddy Hamilton narrate anything; he's just that good. But I think I might listen to something a little less dry before I tackle the second book.

The Start of A Relatable Journey...
I have had this book in my library for some time and just have now gotten around to reading it. Written and read like a journal, you are introduced to Daron and become privy to a subjective perspective of a ‘coming of realization’ in the 80s. Volume 1 provides the groundwork to understanding where Daron comes from and why he sees the world the way that he does. As someone who was the same age as our protagonist in the 80s, I can relate to the fear associated with the awakening and acceptance process. I look forward to the next volume and seeing where Daron goes from here… I enjoy Cecilia Tan’s writing style and Teddy Hamilton’s narration was spot-on. On to the next book…

A Sex, Drugs, and Rock‘n'Roll teen Coming-of-Age
A Young Adult tale for adults. Follow Daron as his band becomes famous, he goes on tour, and falls in love with the band's lead singer, Ziggy...
Daron's Guitar Chronicle is like Almost Famous, except in this story the boy isn’t so innocent. Daron's coming of age means coming out of the closet. Not so easy when you are in the world of rock'n'roll and it’s the 80s.
A really fun story with great characters

A Great Listen
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, The characters are well written and the story is easy to follow.
What did you like best about this story?
The 1980's music references and the main character's relationship with his parents.
Have you listened to any of Teddy Hamilton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I don't believe I have listened to any of his other performances.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, but thats not the book's fault. Its a very good book, but i had other things on my mind at the time so it took me a little while to get through it.

Same review for all 3
I am sure these stories are pretty good...but I got bored with first story... not enough smexing for me... and I like smexing in my stories... not enough action either. I will go back one day and listen later...but right now...pretty bored...
Narration was just ok...nothing to rave about
