Summary: Totally unrealistic
Review: I first read this book when I was 11 or 12. At that time, I would have rated it five stars. And it did have an effect on me. It made me feel that drugs were evil.But now, I've spent some time in the real world. And upon re-examining the book I find holes big enough to drive a truck through, blatant lies and propaganda, and a central message that I simply don't agree with. So drugs are bad. Fair enough. But I don't think anyone deserves to be lied to by a diary that is clearly not a diary and supposedly true events that never could have happened. Teach your children not to abuse drugs. But don't rely on this extremist falsification to do your job for you!

Summary: intense
Review: This book is done entirely in diary form from Alice's perspective. I thought that it was excellent. I had my 11 year old son read it (actually he just picked it up and read it on his own) and it affected him as well. I think that it is a great anti-drug book without saying don't use drugs. This is a classic already...I highly recommend it.

Summary: A must read !
Review: I'm not a big fan of books, I'm one of those people who would rather watch the movie cause I cant really imagine something when I'm reading it. My school was having a book fair that we all had to go to, and me and my friends were messing around playing with the books and Go ask Alice feel on the floor and when I picked it up, I started to read the back cover and I was hooked. I started to read the book and I couldn't stop, it was like an addiction. I wanted to know what was going to happen next and so on. With this book I could imagine and feel everything that Alice was feeling. I think I liked it the most cause it was like reading someone's life first hand, not from someone else point of view. This book shows how that when you start doing drugs there is always a price to pay for it. I can't tell to much about the book because I think that people should read it for them self's and understand the power of feelings in this book. I gave this book 5 stars because it was the best book that I have ever read that I enjoyed. I will only say that this book is about a 15 year old teenager who gets involved with drugs and sex and at first doesn't realize the price it cost, when she does she stops, but its not to long before she's back to drugs and sex again. I recommend this book not only to teenagers but to adults to, maybe to understand there child and what might be going on in thier life.

Summary: Very Good but kind of odd
Review: I thought that this was a very ood book especially for young teens. It shows what a gir goes through, the good things of drugs, and the bad. All our lives we are told that drugs ae bad and that they will never do us any good. For a while in this book things were good, she felt good and was having a good time. Thats why this book shouldn't be put down and left alone when it is halfway done! I think it is banned, but it is a very interesting read and it explains alot about the characters courage and fight to be happy and stay happy.

Summary: sixties propaganda
Review: the writing in this book is good, and it's sad that "Go Ask Alice"'s author is supressed to this day from claiming his work. it is a depiction of a teen gone down the wrong path on drugs. she's lonely, pressured, and unhappy, and then she's introduced to that evil LSD, and sucked down a vacuum into the drugs, which beat up and eventually killed her. but does this really read like a girl's diary? especially a girl who's in the throes of a drug addiction, and apparently still thinks it's a priority to keep a diary? and why is she still anonymous? there is no alice, this is not a diary, this is just old 70's anti-drug propaganda. (the title is a reference to a jefferson airplane song, for you pre-teen girls reading today. it's called "white rabbit")

Summary: A profoundly good book
Review: Don't read this book & assume it's trying to 'scare you straight.' It's a book about a life. Whether fact or fiction simply isn't relevant - it truly could be any of a number of real people.

Summary: This is what I think....
Review: Well this book was ok. It kept me reading it which is usually a challenge. I however did not enjoy it. Reading about a girl who gets hooked on drugs and is dumb about it all is not interesting to me. I did cry though once while reading it. I also wonder what she thinks about people reading her diary. I know i would never want people to read my diary after i die even if it is to inform the public about how things really are. Overall i didnt like the book and i wouldnt recommend it to anyone unless they like to read a drug addicts diary when you can sum it up by saying she does drugs, has sex, tries to clean her life up but fails every time and ends up overdosing and dieing.

Summary: A Must Read!!!
Review: This book was difently a book I will read again. A kid told me about the book and I didn't wanna read it but finalyI went out and bought it. I statred to read it and I felt like I knew Alice. Now I know she is only 15 and she doesnt know alot about drugs. That amazed me. I am 13 and I know so much. Half the people at my Junior High do pot and that, so I knew alot about it. I have never done drugs, but I have been asked, reading this book told me what would have happened to me and a lot more, what the conquesses are. I think that anyone who has ever been asked to do drugs or who wants to learn what can happen you should read this book. I also think that everyone, parent, teen, girl, or boy needs to read this at somepoint in there life. This book tells you so much and teaches you so much. This book is a must read!!!

Summary: Go Ask Alice is NOT a real diary
Review: Go Ask Alice is not the diary of a real-life teen. Instead, it is ham-handed propaganda; a highly-fictionalized conglomeration of case studies ("editor" Dr. Beatrice Sparks was one of the writers who worked on it). Additionally, _Alice_ is poorly written, with attempts at "groovy" teen slang and "relevant" issues that were laughable even back when it was first published, in 1971. If the ugly truth about drugs like speed and heroin isn't enough to keep kids off of them, then I don't think that lying will be any help.
