Go Ask Alice

Summary: Amazing
Review: I read this book over ten years ago (in sixth grade) after it was recommended by fellow students and a teacher. From what I remember, it was a cult favorite written to us in an unbiased way. I feel that it was effective to read it as a child/preteen for it wasn't just words coming from an adult lecturing us; it was like Alice was our *friend*, not just explaining how drugs ruined her life, but *showing* us in a non-degrading manner. She is honest. I highly recommend this book to any teenager. And as far as fifteen year olds being a little too naive about drugs, that is untrue. There are many kids (like myself) who knew nothing and were afraid to ask due to the boundaries set by our parents. So read Go Ask Alice and be hooked!

Summary: Go Ask Alice
Review: Go Ask Alice is a diary about a girl named Alice who gets addicted to drugs. Before she tried drugs, she had the perfect life, and perfect friends. But then she went to a party with her "friends", and was offered a can of coke. Her can had LSD in it. She tries to go on without drugs, but that just isn't possible for her. She tries other drugs, like pot and weed. Alice gets really heavy into them, and she becomes a dealer at school. She then runs away to California with her friend, trying to create a new life. Eventually they move back to their original home, though. Through all this, Alice is on drugs, and is still addicted.
This was a really good book to me because it was actually written by a girl who was on drugs, and it is really true. It teaches you what can happen to you if you choose to do drugs, and it's just not worth it. I would recommend this book to everybody, because I think that teens really need something like this to get the message across that drugs are not worth trying. Follow Alice through this powerful book as she slowly takes her path through the drug world. The ending of this book is astonishing, and I strongly encourage you to check it out.

Summary: Go Ask Alice
Review: Imagine being a teenager, and being forced to try new things, and exploring the world of drugs by peer pressure. This is the life of a young girl in a novel in diary format that I just recently read. Go Ask Alice is a great book that represents the hardships of a 15-year-old drug addict. The author begins the diary by being insecure and pressured by her parents. She becomes anorexic at first, trying to lose weight by not eating, and then discovers LSD by going to a friend's party. Her friend Jill had put LSD in 10 of the 14 bottles of coke, and the writer drank one with LSD in it. Ever since then, she is fascinated by the effect of the drug, so she explores all other kinds of drugs, and becomes addicted. Soon enough, she is selling drugs and is experiencing some very rough times with her boyfriend, and her family.
From my viewpoint, this is a very intriguing novel and is one that all young teens should read. Many adolescents today are experiencing the same problems that this teen had, and are suffering through these difficult times. It is so important that kids my age understand the value of life, and that we can't throw that away. By being captivated by drugs, this can put your life in great danger. So, learn from this teen by reading Go Ask Alice, a suspenseful story that may change your life.

Summary: A lesson to all
Review: Filled with drug use, drug pushing, sex, lies! Who wouldn't want to read this book? But there's more to this book than just some plot of a messed up teen. It teaches all of its readers a valuable lesson. When you read this book you find yourself thinking, 'wow! This author is good! It seems almost real!' Then, its hits you. This is a real story written by a real girl who wrote in her real diary about going to a real party where she had real drugs. There's nothing fake to this book! In society today we are faced with people with drug problems at a young age. If all of them had read this book, I'm sure most of them wouldn't have tried drugs because we see how messed up this one girl's life gets. Just when you think she's going to stay clean, just when you want to hug her for being so strong, just when you want to stand up for her, something changes and you find yourself thinking 'I'll never make that mistake!' The only way of preventing you from making that mistake is by being aware of what can happen. This book, filled with truth, gives you that understanding of what will happen. I recommend this book to anyone who feels pressured in the real world. Whether you feel pressured into alcohol, drugs, sex, whatever. This book brings you up to a teen's experience with pressure. An experience you will never forget! The feeling you get from drugs isn't real. But the feeling you get from this book is!

Summary: An "ADDICTIVE" book
Review: Go Ask Alice was a phenomenal story about a young girl's struggle through the world of highly addictive drugs. This book displays how easy it is to enter that world and how hard it is to actually get out of it. I think that this book is very good at portraying the life of this girl. Through out the book you feel as if you are there, actually going through the high's and low's of her messed up drug life. You end up feeling her pain and wanting to help her when she has no one else. While reading this book it seems to take control of you, just as drugs take control of the girl's life. I extremely recommend this highly "addictive" page turner to people of all ages, middle school and up. This book will make you look at life in a totally different way. I hope that you enjoy it!

Review: Go ask Alice is an enlightening story of a teenager and her trials and tribulation with drug abuse and her social life. I really liked this book because it was so real to me I know a few people a lot like "Alice". Her struggles with fitting in and making good friends are so true to this day and age. The end of the book really touched me how she was saying that she didn't think she needed a dairy anymore and that her life was better now. I really got into this book, like when she started to get "straight friends" as she called them she was so worried that they wouldn't like her because for her past, I was worried right along with her. Another thing that was real to me was how she was having dreams of marrying Joel and how he one of the only people that seemed to understand her. I would recommend this book to anyone who is bored with reading the same old thing I really liked and maybe you will too.
