I don’t know how to explain my emotions through this book. The Lights Along Majesto is one of those books you can’t get out of your mind. I finished it a while back, and I am still thinking about it. I even recommended it to a few of my friends. There is so much going on in the book that it’s impossible to find a spot to put it down. I had to force myself to put the book down a few times. Every page had me wondering what was coming next, how it would end. I felt as if I was on tour along with the band. JD Eicher is a close friend, and I had no idea he was writing a book until it was close to the release date. I was excited once I found out about the book and fell in love with the book in the first chapter. I was on the edge of my seat by then and was eager to see what would happen next. 

I have read a book about a band in the past, but it wasn’t anything like The Lights Along Majesto . Everything that was described in the book, felt so real. I could see everything that happened on that tour happening in real life. I could visualize it all. Out of all the characters, Beckett was my favorite in the book, and I loved to read the story from his point of view. Honestly, I don’t know how he dealt with Simon for as long as he had; if it were me, I would quit long ago. But, I wondered if something would happen between Beckett and Annie, I was hoping that it would. It’s probably why I didn’t see the ending coming. 

Simon. Now that’s a character I knew I was never going to like. I don’t know how anyone can deal with someone like him. Annie deserved much better than Simon. Although, there were times when I did wonder what Simon was thinking during the tour. The Lights Along Majesto is not a story that you will forget; a story that will have you on edge, from beginning to the end. Once you turn the last page, you will be curious about what will happen after. I’m hoping that JD Eicher will write more books in the future. This was astounding.
