Summary: EXCELLENT!!!!
Review: In this reality, we are surrounded by drug addicts, sex offenders, criminals, as well as, so much more cruelty surrounding us in our everyday lives. It is one thing to be knowledged and aware of our surrounding society, but it's another to be the one stuck in the "blackness" of one of these horrifying characteristics.
"Go Ask Alice," by Anonymous is a non-fictional book make up of series of diary entries about a young girl who was stuck in the "blackness" of drug addiction. Her words are so powerful and deep. They touch the weakest spot of your heart.
Alice lived a life consumed of endless struggles leading to a horrible emotional, physical and mental status. She writes about her day-to-day life struggle and it takes you to the depth of her soul.
We are living in a time period with drug addiction being one of our biggest problems. We attend school, work for a living, run our everyday errands or just take a stroll in the park and never know that the person standing right beside us faces a problem with drug addiction.
If you want to read and then analyze a real life experience instead of listening and reading from our typical everyday sources, "Go Ask Alice" is the book to read!

Summary: Shock Back To Reality
Review: The book "Go Ask Alice" is what I liketo call a "Reality Slap." Most people have this common misconception of what he world and the people in it are all about. Your world consists of what you see every day and you canot help but think that what yor seeing is "the world." This book show people that we're not perect. No one realizes that evey day ther are kids dying because of drugs. There are teenagers out there who get pregnant and leave the baby with family or friends and not tae care of thier own child. "Go Ask Alice" helped me examine my own life ad see how much I take for granted and hat I can give back so that in the future, there will not be another bok like this.

Summary: A truth best not lived
Review: This book was useful at a time in my life when there was a lot of negative stuff going on - it showed that no matter how bad things were, it could be a lot worse.I disagree that it portrayed drugs in a way that would make someone want to try them - it's effect was absolutely the opposite for me and I'd think for anyone who knew they were also vulnerable as she was. In fact, this book made actually using drugs both redundant (I never did) and clearly self-destructive (therefore not appealing). Most importantly, it showed that choices are crucial, and some are very very difficult to undo. Thanks to this book's publication, Alice's life was not in vain.

Summary: It's a good read but not a good book
Review: I have read this book a few times - it's a very quick read and certainly compelling - and think it's pretty interesting. It's convincing enough that if you hadn't any contact with the world it purports to describe - like most of the pious teens and school counsellors who've written on Amazon that they 'will now never try drugs' - then you might well believe it (like these people do). What I don't like about it is the way it reinforces the myth that drug use will necessarily lead to perdition. I have personally seen many people use LSD and there is no chance that it would have some of the effects described in the book. Furthermore, the pot effects Alice claims to feel are ridiculously overblown and make the drug out to be a loss of control type thing. In reality it's alcohol and alcohol alone that encourages teenagers to have risky unprotected sex. I'm not saying that teenagers should use drugs, but to use propaganda to ensure that they don't is worse than allowing them to make their own informed decisions...

Summary: Go Ask Alice ( Heather Hendrickson )
Review: I read the book Go Ask Alice. I thought it was the best book I have ever read in my life. I really dont like books but when i read this book I get all into it and can relate in several ways. This book is a true diary about a fifteen year old girl. Who does several drugs and finds herself with the wrong friends and gets into a lot of trouble. She lives with her parents and has two younger siblings, Alex and Tim. Her family moves away from her Grandparents, whom are very close to her. She goe to visit them in the summer.
When she was invited to a party, thats when she had first tried LSD. Which is a very dangerous drug. She didn't know she had taken it because they were playing a game "Button Button."
She wrote everything that had happened the first time she got high in her diary. This one drug lead into many more. She writes every issue that goes on in her life in this diary. There are many hardships in this book that she went through. In many ways I know a lot of teenagers can relate to her, and understand what she went through. I did and I enjoyed the book once you start you can't stop. There is many many problems in her life, and the only way you'll ever find out is if you read her diary.
Something very terrible happens to her in the end, it has to do with a pill. What happened to her?...Well read the greatest book ever and you will find out. Read Go Ask Alice, and you'll cry and laugh but most of all you'll put yourself in her shoes and say, " Wow she really had it tough. "
Thank you for your time in reading this. I really hope you get the chance to enjoy this book. Anyone can read it because you'll fall in love with this girl when you read her TRUE LIFE DIARY!

Summary: Is this for real?
Review: Of course it is, but I just can't imagine. This slice of teenage life is riveting and unbelievable. I kept reading hoping to figure out what exactly drove this girl do drugs, to bad choices, to running away. But I never really understood her, though felt her pain. At times I was not thoroughly convinced that this was a real diary. How could a publisher get this without all the people written in it kept anonymous? I suggest this read for anyone, young and old. I am sure everyone who reads it can relate in one way or another.

Summary: Go ask Alice
Review: Go Ask Alice is happy and sad, funny and serious, and comforting and scary at the same time. It is a true anonymous diary about a 15 year-old girl that is slowly seduced by the world of drugs.
The first time she takes a drug is when someone slips LSD in her drink at a party. After that it is all up and down. She runs away two times and when she comes back, with the help of her family, she gets off them. But somehow she is back on them when she runs away again. This story takes place in a variety of locations like San Francisco and Berkeley. This nonfiction is an exciting, quick book that I think everyone should read, only if you're over 13 though, due to some strong language and lots of drug reference, it's more for the mature reader. All in all, this is a really great book that shows you how bad drugs can really be.

Summary: Love it
Review: I absolutely loved this book. I first heard about it two years ago, when my literature teacher told us that she once did a book report on it. Since, my best friend had been trying to find it. She did, a year later, and we read it. Since, I have bought it and read it over and over, finding it more and more chilling and sad every time. You may wonder why I keep reading it, if its so depressing. The fact that this diary was real, written by a real person. That person could have been your next door neighbors cousin for all you know; the reality of the drug world, and how it can harm you really sets in with this book. Faced with choices like this everyday, I think, that if more teens read this book, they just might think twice before they light another j***t.

Summary: Alice
Review: This is a book everyone should read. It has insight to everything that could happen to one. This book can relate to anyone. to anything. I am a person who really can't get into reading and i am also a very slow reader. This book took me less than a week to read and it was the best book I ever read. So if you are thinking of buying this book i would tell you not to hesitate.
