Book Reviews of Amy Amy Amy: The Amy Winehouse Story
Book Review: Not an autobio, but good read
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an interesting historical account of Amy Winehouse's early years. She has immense talent, and I was a fan the first time I heard her voice. I would not have guessed she's a caucasion, Jewish, British girl. This book is pretty much a gathering of facts without the emotion or feeling that Amy would add to a book. It's informative and easy to read. I love Amy's music and wanted to find out more about her and I did. I was also looking for reason for her self-destructive behaviour, but I'll have to wait for her autobiography, which is due out soon. In the meantime, this book will suffice. The photos were good too.
Summary of Amy Amy Amy: The Amy Winehouse Story
Author Nick Johnstone unravels the life and career of one of Britain's most brillian and troubled stars. Amy Amy Amy tracks Winehouse's erratic journey to fame from her North London Jewish family home via three schools to discovery by Simon Fuller's 19 Management Ltd and a signing to Island Records at the age of 18. Johnstone details her meteoric rise to stardom, two albums catapulting her to the top even as her open use of alcohol and drugs was setting the scene for personal life plagued by excess. Her well-publicised problems with anorexia, bulimia and suspected self-harm kept her in the headlines, threatening to obscure her undiminished singing talent while her overwrought Sid 'n' Nancy-style marriage to Blake Civil-Fielder ensured continuing tabloid coverage. Amy Amy Amy redresses the imbalance, giving full measure to Winehouse's talent while offering an honest account of her multiple personal crises in this absorbing and entertaining biography of an exceptionally gifted performer.Entertainers Books
