Thistle Publishing Amy Winehouse: The Untold Story

Very interesting and informative

This was a dreadful piece of work. I stopped reading it after three chapters.Before I go further, I must say I am a huge fan of Amy Winehouse's music. I cried the night I learned of her death; I'd never cried at news of a celebrity's death before and I haven't cried at any celebrity's death since. Anyone seeking depth and insight into the life of this brilliant, young tortured artist should instead watch the incredibly well-done, brutally honest 2015 bio-pic titled simply Amy.In my opinion, all Ms.Govan has done (which will become evident to any discerning reader, especially one who knew details of Amy's life already) is to pull together a "biography" (I use that word loosely) based entirely on articles others have written and news stories. The book appears to have been pulled together in haste by somebody wanting to make a quick buck while Amy's death was still fresh news. There are numerous spelling errors, grammatical errors and clumsy sentences that should make any serious writer cringe.

Good

Even at the age of 53 years old I fell in love with Amy's music around 2007. It took a while, at first, for her songs to grow on me......but they did in a very profound way. I realized how she threw her whole being into her music. The book is insightful and reveals a lot about Amy's personality, the heartaches and her addictions.

This book is good, although, it isn't like the one her father wrote about. To me, I don't think people should write about others if they didn't know them personally. This author focused more on her negative side than anything else. Sad. She shouldn't be looked at as what people try to portray her as.. only her family truly knows her.
