review 1: It appears that this book was written before Amy’s tragic death at the age of 27 and then completed and published after her death, because most of the chapters seemed to be written as if she was still alive. This book was factual and to the point and went into detail in regards to her music. Her personal life was described with compassion and as a reader I couldn’t help but feel for Amy as she dealt with all her demons. I came away from the book with a greater appreciation for her music and a sense of loss that she died so young and wasn’t able to give us more of her talent or realize more of her dreams.
review 2: Yawn. What a boring book, and not because Amy winehouse herself was boring, but because of the writing style of the author. The endless £he ... moresaid, she said" gets very old after the first few pages. It is largely based on interviews and doesn't have any new, exciting information. The author makes it sound like Winehouse was a singer with an attitude and that's it. Um, I already knew that! I could have done without reading any of it with all that I learned. I am sure the book by her dad will be more forthcoming in what she was like as a person. less
