Go Ask Alice
January 24th After you've had it, there isn't even life without drugs.... It started when she was served a soft drink laced with LSD in a dangerous party game. Within months, she was hooked, trapped in a downward spiral that took her from her comfortable home and loving family to the mean streets of an unforgiving city. It was a journey that would rob her of her innocence, her youth -- and ultimately her life. Read her diary. Enter her world. You will never forget her. For thirty-five years, the acclaimed, bestselling first-person account of a teenage girl's harrowing decent into the nightmarish world of drugs has left an indelible mark on generations of teen readers. As powerful -- and as timely -- today as ever, Go Ask Alice remains the definitive book on the horrors of addiction.

Exceptional Read...
I don't care if it was factual or fabricated, it is a powerful book that I couldn't put down. Another good book if you can find it is "Christiane F." "Go Ask Alice" was on a reading list for a HS book report but because I had already read it and enjoyed it my teacher suggested "Christiane F"...

Go ask mrs Sparks
When I read this book about in late 90's for community college, I though this was a real story. I am glad to learn she did not die from drug over dose, but dispointed that I was lied by editor possible author. I think good book, but need to be relable as work of fiction and not as fact. One would...

Extremely raw and emotional, however, untrue. But still AMAZING!
I read this book fully believing it was, in fact, a true story. As I began reading I was astonished at this young girls vocabulary which intially made me skeptical. By the time I finished I was sure it was real. I was absolutely in love with the book and the story it told. The story is so...

Please
I'll make this review as brief as it should be, because this book doesn't deserve much. I'm a social studies teacher at an alternative high school, where this book is used by numerous teachers. I decided to pick it up and give it a read, because truthfully, I'll pretty much read anything that's...

Great book
Read it in health class and it really makes you think about the end and what happened to her. It's a quick read and it's not unworthy of the time either. I knew what drugs can do, but reading an actual journal of it, really makes you want to stay away from that stuff. On regard to book shipping,...

Amazingly realistic
This book was the best book I have ever read. I found myself completely attached to the protagonist. It was an extremely realistic outlook on teenage life. I defiantly loved this book and found it a shocking portrayal of a girl's life. Buy this book. YOU. WILL. NOT. BE. DISSAPPOINTED.

Fiction, but in a way, not so much.
I really liked this book. I'd been wanting to read it for a while, and finally got around to getting a copy. I literally could not put it down. I started it late saturday night and finished it early sunday afternoon. After I finished the book, I looked it up on the internet to further investigate...

Biased Propaganda
Go Ask Alice is a terrible book to give to young people to read. Unfortunately, every Health Education class in the USA assigns this book to kids, which is why kids aren't as aware of drug addiction as they should be.When I was assigned this book as a teen in 1995, I was shocked; not by the...
