SEATTLE -- A journalist who works for a newspaper in Italy has published a book featuring previously unpublished excerpts of Amanda Knox's diary, according to a report by the Times of London.

The book titled Amanda and the Others by Fiorenza Sarzanini includes pages from Knox's diary which have been seized by investigators, the paper said.

In an interview with the newspaper, Sarzanini said, "Knox isn't obsessed with sex but she sees it as one of the predominant aspects of her life. This has influenced her life in the sense that it influences her relationships with both men and women."

Sarzanini book features a list from Knox's diary which names four men in Seattle and New York, and three in Florence and Perugia with whom she has had sex, the Times said.

"It's as if you (Knox) were always hunting men. You list your conquests as if you were displaying them like trophies," Sarzanini commented to the Times.

The Times said Sarzanini's book quotes testimony to police from Amy Frost, a British student and friend of murder victim Meredith Kercher. She describes an episode on the day of Knox's arrival at the cottage: "Meredith told us that Amanda put down in the bath-room a beauty-case in which there were condoms and a vibrator. They were visible and it seemed a bit strange to Meredith." Kercher later told Frost: "Isn't it odd that a girl arrives and the first thing she shows is a vibrator?"

Knox's family, who has protested in the past about the Italian media's portrayal of their daughter, told the Times, "This seems to be yet another example of the continued leaks designed to harm Amanda's character as there is no evidence to tie her to the brutal and senseless murder of Meredith Kercher. She is innocent."

Knox, a University of Washington student from Seattle, is accused in the murder of Kercher, her British roommate.

Kercher, 21, was found stabbed in the neck in her bedroom in a rented house in the Umbrian university town of Perugia on the night of Nov. 1, 2007.

Prosecutors allege that Kercher died during what began as a sex game, with defendant Raffaele Sollecito holding her by the shoulders from behind while Knox, his then-girlfriend and one of Kercher's flatmates, touched her with the point of a knife and Rudy Hermann Guede of Ivory Coast tried to sexually assault her. Prosecutors allege that Knox then stabbed Kercher in the throat.

Since the opening days the prosecutor, who himself is under investigation for abuse of power in another case, has held fast to his theory.

Sollecito's defense team argued in court that Kercher was slain by an intruder during a burglary gone wrong and suggested outside court that Guede was the killer.

Knox, who has spent a year in Italian prison without being charged, has maintained she was not at the house at all on the night of the murder.

"She was over at Raffaele's house, and she happened to be the one who was there in the morning and found the situation," her father, Curt Knox, told KOMO News.

"Her story has never changed," said her mother, Edda Mellas.

A prominent Seattle who watched video taken at the crime scene said the footage shows investigators making gross mistakes which she refers to as "Fellini-type forensics".

Anne Bremner of Stafford Frey Cooper said the footage shows investigators making a series of mistakes that effectively destroying the integrity of the crime scene and the evidence.

"I've looked at a lot in this case and I hearken back to the phrase 'injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere.' And this case, it's very compelling in terms of her innocence," she said.

Earlier this month Knox's trial was delayed until Jan. 16 to give court officials more time to put together documentation.
