This was the third book I read about Amy so I knew her story backwards but I love Amy so much and I don't care, it was just good to read about her. I listened to Back to Black as I read the book. Daphne Barak the writer wanted to be the one to save Amy but unfortunately nobody succeeded. RIP Amy xxxxx

This book offers absolutely nothing new and interviews with Mitch simply regurgitate what I've already heard in documentaries and in tabloids.
Apparently based on personal recollections from the author's DIARY of all places, much of the book is opinion-based - self-indulgent rambling without much relevance to the issue.
The book provides a brief and disjointed bio of Amy's rise to fame among her own opinions. It fails miserably to achieve the in-depth analysis I was expecting of Amy's addictions, their root causes and the future that lies ahead for the singer.
If you want a history of her work, read Chas Newkey-Burden's book, or a similar bio, and if you want a book about "Saving Amy", trust me - this isn't it.

This book's hard to put down - the story of an unbearably talented young woman who just wasn't destined to live out a long full life. Read more

A fascinating insight into Amy's life
I found this a really thought-provoking book. It offers a fascinating insight into Amy's (complicated) family life and it raises lots of interesting questions about the causes of... Read more

The truth about Amy
Saving Amy is a sad look at what has become of an amazing singer. You can't help but wonder what happend to the talent that was/is Amy Winehouse. Why has she ended up like this? Read more

An enjoyable and easy read
I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this book, but it turned out to be a very open and honest picture inside a family torn apart by celebrity and addiction. Read more

A waste of money and time.
This is a truly terrible book, replete with more references to the author than it is to Amy Wínehouse. It is disconnected, disjointed and thoroughly disappointing. Read more
