Not to good not that bad
Well this book is actually more for younger teens I read it when I was 13. And I liked it when I was younger but then I relished it was so badly written. I really hate the fact how much emphases they put on the real ness of this book. For one they describe drugs in away not is far from the truth. Anyone that has taken LSD will know that it's not any where close to the way described in this book. Two the way it's written like a diary really gets on your nerves. Thirdly for being written by a psychiatrist it grammar and spelling is terrible even for young teens the stander of writing was so bad. It's still not the worse book to be read. I agree that it should be read in schools special when they do the dare program in 5th grade- if they even still do that program- but at a certain point I wouldn't recommend this book to any drug user cuz it lame or to any one older then 13. Maybe it would detour children
Good Points
It's a good life lessees son for older kids but nothing else
REALISTICALLY TRUE

Go Ask Alice is a book like no other. No one knows who wrote it, but you can`t help but feel a connection to the girl. Go Ask Alice is about a girl who goes from being a straight-A, well behaved teenager, to a broken young girl. Through out the book we see the reality of drugs and what they can destroy. Whether Family, Friends, or a life, the result is never good.
We see "Alice" fall from grace because of drugs and what they can do. Set in the 70`s era, we can find her in places that are glorified in the main stream media, like for example woodstock.
In short, Go Ask Alice is a testimony to drugs, and while excellent, little is not sad or depressing. This is why all young women shouldread Go Ask Alice.

DEALING WITH A SIBLING WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS, I THINK THAT THIS BOOK IS VERY REAL AND IT IS A HARD DOSE OF REALITY. PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THEIR ADDICTIONS AND THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE SEEN THAT SHOWS THAT.

This book is one of the realest books I every read. It shows you how drugs effect a person. Alice was you normal teenager, until she started doing drugs. She told herself that it would be a one and only thing, that she would never do it again. But that changed. Weed turned into many other drugs and effected her life so much. This book a true story that everyone should read if they ever even considered doing drugs.

This book is a very quick read. It is about a girl who goes on a countless number of drugs and basically does everything in the book. it is a very mature book with very mature content. The girl starts out as being a normal everyd day gir; but then everything fall apart slowly and she runs away from her family on several accounts. She ends up going to a nut house where she was accused of doing drugs once again but she actually never did the drugs again someone just slipped them into her drink like date rape. This book is very good and is written in diary form. I suggest this to all 14-18 year olds or maybe even any older age. I think it's more of a girls novel. Trust me, this book will make you never want to do drugs again.
