Summary: One of the best books I have ever read.
Review: I first read this book in the mid 70's. I've read it about 15 times in all. Now that I have 2 teenage boys, I want them to read it. Maybe it will help them to stay away from drugs.

Summary: An enlightening look into a very real life
Review: When a friend of mine gave me "Go Ask Alice" as a book that I would relate to, I expected a quick read on hard-core druggy, start to finish. What I found instead was an incredibly relatable individual who's normal insecurities led her to a life of substance abuse. Here was a young girl who, feeling alone and insecure, turned to the first offer of friendship during a particularly alone period in her life, and and discovered something that would make everything better........for a while. As you read about her decline into addiction, you never condemn or question why she's doing this. It just is. Just as many teenagers do stupid things to gain love or asuge pain, this girl falls victim to a very common but generally misunderstood trap. Misunderstood in the sense that many kids (Anonymous included) begin using drugs not to be cool, but to make their life happier and feel confident about themselves for as long as the high lasts. This book is a very good example of what a destructive path drugs will lead you down, now we just need to find positive oulets to raise our self-esteem. For that is the core problem. Many people are unsure as to whether or not "Anonymous" was a real person, but I don't think it really matters. She represents generations of misunderstood and mislabeled teens, and gives insight into what drives them too far. A must read for anyone, regardless of their view on drugs.

Summary: It's telling the reader that it's a diary of a drug victim.
Review: Go Ask Alice is a frighteningly real look into the dangerous world of drugs, sex, and life on the streets. It is a real diary written by a teen who remains anonymous. When you look at one date in the book to a few weeks later, it is unbelievable how fast one girls life worsens. This book was very good because it shows the downside of drugs-coming from a teen. The teen who wrote this diary first took acid by drinking a cola. From then on, she was addicted. Slowly but surely, her life changed forever. At one point, she is living off of the money she gets from drug-dealing-to children. I highly recommend this book because it is real-it's not coming from the perspective of a doctor or an author, but it is first person coming from a victim of the deceiving spiral of drugs.

Summary: My Favorite Book
Review: This was one of the best books that I have ever read. It mad me cry a thousand times harder than I ever had before. It impacted my life in many ways. I could feel what she was going through, I felt her pain. The fact that this actually happened to a young girl is horrifying, but at the same time is somthing that everyone needs to know.

Summary: A Great insight of the World of Drugs
Review: Because of it graphic content and use of language, I think any teenager will enjoy this story. This story will grab you into it from the start unlike many slow-moving novels. It was a great example of the complicated and vindictive world of drugs and sex.
