There is a way to solve part of the UI clutter problem, display both ratings in the same spot. You can do this with overlapping colors.

Right now the user rating is blue. Just make the Amazon rating red, and where they overlap it would be purple.

So with a personal rating of 4, and a 3 from Amazon, you would have: PPPBG

Or 3 personal and 4 from Amazon: PPPRG

Now, I'm not sure if you want to show the Amazon rating field anywhere else. That I don't have an answer for that. But it seems to me that it should be a hidden field anyway.
