"It's really well written and charged with emotion, which makes sense because it's a father writing about his deceased little girl. You can feel his pain as he describes Amy's struggles with her addictions, but at the same time he shows her as a generous person with a big heart who wouldn't hesitate to help those who needed. Definitely a very inspiring book."

" Very amateurish writting but a good story. "
— Liz, 1/19/2014" A very honest look at Amy Winehouse's life through her father's eyes. It was clear that he loved a lot but also clear that she had issues that weren't dealt with properly. I'm sad that she only got 2 albums in during her short life but we learn from both sides of her life. "
— Latrisha, 1/18/2014" This was an ok book. You can tell that it was not written by a read writer. I didn't find that there was much of extreme interest. "
— Tracy, 1/17/2014" Poor Amy "

— Chivon, 12/7/2013" This is a sweet, but (inevitably) depressing book. Mitch Winehouse comes across as sincere and well-meaning. The stories, notes and photos from Amy's childhood are lovely. Her saga of addiction is all too predictable, but her music was extraordinary. "
— Tara, 11/17/2013" Touching and heartfelt. "
— Rosalynd, 10/24/2013" Dear god, I wouldn't have been able to get through this book if I weren't so obsessed with Amy Winehouse right now. Her dad is an atrocious writer, he's very unperceptive, and I have a feeling he's a bit of a fame-whore. Not a good book, but the only one that's out right now, unfortunately. "
— Josh, 10/11/2013" very sweet and sad "
— Ella, 10/1/2013" Amy, My Daughter gave an insightful look into a brilliant mind that we lost way too early. It has truly given me a new insight into er music, and has forever changed the way that I will remember her. "
— cassie, 6/4/2013" A father's intimate and poignant testament to his talented and tortured daughter, a forest fire extinguished too soon. Recommended for anyone who recognizes Amy's talented interpretations. "
— Risa, 5/1/2013" Love Amy... sad story, love hearing the story from her Dad. "
— Jenn, 4/27/2013" I really feel for this man, alcohol and drug addiction just sucks "
— Laura, 2/5/2013" Many have only seen the dark side of Amy Winehouse's drug addiction. Her father chronicles her childhood and career which was tragically cut short by substance abuse. We miss you, Amy, but are happy we met you. "
— Emily, 2/3/2013" Her dad chronicles the struggles of a family dealing with Amy's addiction issues and all the ups and downs it brings to all their lives. "

— Lori, 1/18/2013" Words aren't enough to describe this book. God bless you Mitch. "
— Amy, 12/27/2012" Once I started reading this I couldn't put it down. Amy's father did an amazing job telling her story with what I perceived as great honesty and love. She definitely wasn't a perfect person, but she was an amazing talent that was sadly gone too soon. "
— Gretchen, 12/7/2012" What a depressing story! It is very difficult to read this story from a parents perspective. Amy had nearly a constant addiction to drugs and later alcohol. She had endless cycles of recovery and relapses. Exhausting. "
