Summary: UNSURE OF THE TRUE CONTENT
Review: I have just read the book go ask alice. This diary of a teenage girl touched me deeply. I can see mylife about to spiral out of control just as hers did. Whether or not the content is real or not "Alice" helped me to understand myself and helped me to start changing for I do not want to end up like her.I have read many other reviews and am unsure if this is true. I would like to learn more about it. Somthing inside me really needs to know if it is true or not.

I recomend this to struggling teens and parents of struggling teens. You may find this diary to help you as it has helped me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Every teen should read this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thanks Mom
Review: My mother bought me this book to read when I was 13. The realistic descriptions of what Alice went through made it so I was not courious to know how drugs would make you feel, I felt I already knew. I thank my mom for this experience because I fell it saved me from one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I wish I was there to help her.
Review: I read "Go Ask Alice" I couldn't believe that a fifteen year old girl could get that caught up into drugs. It really makes you think about what you do before you do it. I use to use drugs on the weekends. I don't use them anymore. My school counselor asked me to read it about a month ago. I was hesitant at first because it was a girls diary and I'm a guy. I could still indentify with it perfectly. Take it from Alice, "acid and smack and no way back". Anyone who is thinking about doing drugs or does drugs should read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Go Ask Alice
Review: Go Ask Alice was the most suspensful book I have read. She is so honest, except to her parents about her drug problem. She feels as if she needs to be popular in order to survive. She takes drugs to keep her self-amused and to live in her own reality. Every adolescent should have a chance to read this book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: ALICE STILL HOLDS TODAY'S TEENS' ANSWERS
Review: This is a riveting story, told in diary format, of a teen who accidentally at first finds herself seduced by the world of alcohol, sex, drugs, and crime. The character referred to as "Alice" writes so honestly in her diary of all her thoughts, hopes, happiness, dreams, fears, guilt, and pain. Because of this, the diary from a previous generation lives on. The content is severly adult, yet teens who will read this book will not find that shocking. Hopefully, what they will find shocking are the results of Alice's chosen life. The reader sees Alice wanting to do the right thing, loving her family, and desiring to be done with her deadly habits. Alice holds nothing back in her writing, and her life that could have been lives on in those who read her. Most likely it will not become part of many schools' curriculum; this book should not be read without discussions following.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: so depressing

Summary: The women spoke
Review: The story Go Ask Alise is kind of a depressing story. It's about a girl who does drugs and always wishes she were dead. She went to a new school and had no friends she walked around all day with no one to talk to; I could just imagine how she felt. Alise was a main character in the book she was the girl they always talked about. And her friend was a main character too, but I forgot her name. This book is really interesting I would recommend it to all my friend and I know some people at this school who can relate to her life I'm not using any names, but this one girl here sliced her wrist because she did not like her life. I think most teenage boys and girl would really like this book. I know I did

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A girl on the run.
Review: "Go Ask Alice" is a diary that you sadly can't put down. A fifteen year old girl is on the run from an over whelming drug addiction. She can't say no and neither will her friends let her if she wants to be cool. Throughout the diary you can tell when her addiction gets worse as she can't remember dates, times, or names. Her morals take a complete a U turn when it comes to sex, drugs, and family life. Her parents are children of the sixties but never experienced the drug ring as they both grew up and went to college in small towns. Her dad is constantly working and has no time to notice his daughter's strange activities. Alice's mom is a constant nag on her fashion and attitude. When they found the diary, they published it under "anonymous" for the author. "Go Ask Alice" is similar to "Sonny's Blues" by James Baldwin, in the fact that they are both about drug addiction. Despite the simularites the endings are totaly differnet. "Go Ask Alice" is written in first person so you, really get to kow the characters involved. It opens your eyes to a world that most people think they could never experience if they use drugs. Her first hit was off a dare. Her last was from a year of experience that was dark and scary.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must Read For All Teens
Review: If you have a hard time talking to your kid about drugs, give him/her this book to read. Trust me, you'll never have to worry about them using drugs again. I read it when I was 12, and it very deeply affected me. Even now, 14 years later, I still think about that book and what that poor girl went through. I think the biggest clincher for me is what happened in the end. I won't reveal it here, but it goes against what I think many people falsely believe. Very intense, gripping, scary--and true!
