Summary: hmmm...
Review: ...I actually read it in one sitting... and I actually finished it in about 2 hours. That's actually pretty good for someone such as myself. It kept me entertained and I honestly felt like I was reading my friend's journal or diary. I think everyone should read this book, because yes it shows u the down side to using drugs and all, but it does actually give u a perspective that one may not get from a teacher. Cuz this is all first hand... she is not trying to tell u "Don't go do drugs," the editor may or may not be trying to give u that, yet the diary is raw... I recommend it 2 EVERYONE...

Summary: Every Teen/Pre-Teen should read this book!!
Review: Everyone is familiar with the book "Go Ask Alice" either by reading it or by reading customer reviews, and seeing it online. But what is this book really about? Go Ask Alice is about the main characters drug-addiction and struggle to become pure of drugs again. I highly recomend this book and all of the diaries edited by Beatrice Sparks. This book, makes you never want to take drugs and make the right decisions about them!

Summary: Fake!
Review: When I first bought this book,I loved it.I cried at the end for poor Alice.My feelings have changed since I found out that it was not written by a teenage girl who died of an od back in the 60's ,but by a middle aged therapist. It would have been an excellent fiction book if it was presented as that, but it wasn't.I think saying it is real is a [bad]thing for everyone involved with the book to do.I don't like being decieved.

Summary: It's dishonest to say this is a true book -- it's not.
Review: Go Ask Alice is purported to be the true diary of a fifteen-year-old drug user in the late sixties or early seventies, and Beatrice Sparks only the editor, but when I read it I realized there was a reason it was on the Fiction shelf of the library. It is quite obviously fictional and not very good fiction at that. I think the purpose of this book is meant to scare people into never trying drugs. The narrarator of this diary had her life ruined by them, the book says. It's like Beatrice Sparks is saying, "Use LSD and you might end up in a mental home like this girl. Smoke pot and you might get so wasted you end up in another state without remembering how you got there, just like this girl." That is total bull. Smoke pot and all you're likely to do is veg out in front of the television. I cannot speak for LSD as I've never taken it. ...

Summary: Pure baloney
Review: I feel so tricked, used, and violated. Seriously. I read this book as a teenager and believed every gd word. I even wrote about it in my (real) diary bemoaning the fact that this drug crazed weirdo could get a boy to give her gifts and a ring and I (sweet and wholesome) couldn't. Now I find out that it is just pure propaganda. Curses on you, Dr. Sparks! btw, I smoked a few joints in college and have enjoyed a productive, happy life in which I vote Republican, drive my children to ballet lessons, have a satisfying and exciting professional career, a blissful marriage (to a guy who ate a few wacky brownies in his day) and am in fabulous health without an acid trip, needle mark, or destroyed nose cartilege to my name.

Summary: Horrifing true story
Review: This riviting story which I truly loved. It was so real I thought I was someone like Alice. She resembles many tens troubles.

Summary: Friends?
Review: Go Ask Alice is an extraordinary book. It is a book that anyone can relate to, but it will appeal mostly to girls because the main character is a girl. She takes the wrong road and gets involved with drugs. Teenagers and high shool students often get involved in drugs because of their friends. Go Ask Alice is a book that should be on teen age reading lists. When someone offers drugs, remember, real friends won't offer something that causes so much hurt. I'll recommand this book to girls between the ages of 13 to 20.

Summary: This wasn't written by a teenager at all
Review: It's an open secret that this book wasn't written by a teenage girl at all -- it's thinly-veiled propaganda that purports to be a picture of the adolescent experience. Double-ick.
