Go Ask Alice

Reader reviewed by Erin Hughes

  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.

This is such a haunting book because it was a girls actual diary. This isn't some average classic by Pearl S. Buck or by William Shakespeare. It's nothing like the Chicken Soup books. This doesn't teach you a lesson. This shows you the horror of drugs and the pain it bring to you and everyone around you. I think this should be required reading in all High Schools. It brings you into her world. And it's a world of Hell.

You'll be changed after, I promise you.

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.

  This book was touching and heart wrenching. Have you ever been in the center of reality? Relizing everything wrong with the world? Probably not. But, 'Go Ask Alice' puts you smack dab in it.

i have read this book many, many times before. And i love it each time i read it. The first two times read it was by choice. Then i had to read it for my health class. Which i thought it was a great book to read during the drug unit in our class. It shows you the truth behind what could hapen when you choice to do drugs. And the diffrenent types if drugs at that. Alice was a sweet girl that got pretty much tricked into trying LSD for that first time at a party. The sad thing about it is, things like that happen all the time and we wont ever know it happen til it dose. It really makes you think about the choices you make. About drugs, parties, and even sex. You never know what will happen and i believe this book shows what can really happen. Im not saying all the things she did was wrong, because she did try and stop and get clean. But that didnt stop some of the eople that she met down the road of drugs and parties.

This book is quite literally a life changing book, it gives you the inside look at a girl whose befriended addiction.
Though this book is far from acceptable for all ages, I think its important that you read it in your lifetime.
It'll make you think twice befroe you go off and do something stupid.
Read about our (no name) friend's adventure to a clean life.

It's good so far I'm only on page 84.I like this story because it is very imformative.It does talk about a girl doing drugs but it does not say "go ahead she did it,you can do it". It imforms you because it tells about an actual person doing drugs and how her life got twisted and that you certainly dont want to be like her.

This book is unlike anything I've ever read before. This is not just a book, it's the real diary of a girl whos addiction controls her life...and eventually takes it (don't worry, I'm not spoiling it, it says this much on a back).

This diary is a first-person account of the horrors of drugs. Throughout this book, Alice finds herself in situations of addiction, poverty, rape, and eventually murder.

Although this book is definatly pg13, I highly recomend it. Save a space on your bookshelf, because you'll want to buy it for sure.
