Summary: Disturbed Souls Alive and High
Review: Go Ask Alice is a wonderfully disturbed diary of a female teenager and her descent into drugs. Written from a real girl's diary, it intoxicates the reader with unimaginable, but true, thoughts. She will take you through the city's dark streets and alleys and into the cells of her asylum. Eventually her destiny is revealed as you approach the end of her pages.

Summary: Folks, don't be fooled. It's fiction.
Review: While GAA has some intrinsic interest as a document of its times, it is fundamentally dishonest to present it as a true story. It would work for me as a novel, but a true story it is not. It has already been exposed as a work of fiction. I rated it with only 1 star because of the fraud on the reading public. If it had been honestly presented as a novel, it would have rated 3 stars. According to the New York Times Book Review, the real authors are Linda Glovach and Beatrice Sparks, who went on to write other such teen novels.

Summary: As Powerful as the Diary of Anne Frank
Review: I read this book 30 years ago when I was 19. They had made a movie of it, which struck me because it depicted teenagers in the late 60s and early 70s just EXACTLY the way we were. I absolutely knew everyone in the movie, and they were completely true-to-life. Afterwards, I went out and bought the book, which was even better than the movie, if that could be possible. And it was far more chilling. In the early 70s, it seemed as though everyone was doing drugs, even the clean cut cheerleaders and jocks. I had personally known four kids who all died during my junior year of high school from drugs, including my first boyfriend, and a 16 year old kid I didn't know, but watched go into convulsions and die from a heroin overdose. Others routinely checked into and out of mental hospitals. It was a helluva way to be young. You had to learn how to handle people who were on bad hallucenogenic "trips". You had to know what to do with someone when you suspected an overdose of barbituates, and you ran from parties when someone on PCP got violent and started smashing furniture. These are not the sorts of things I would like my children to have to know and experience. It was scary, and it was bad. The conclusions I reached about drugs were that you either stopped taking them, or you died. You didn't really have any other options. So I read Go Ask Alice, and it solidified my conviction that saying "no" was the simplest thing. "Some people don't like onions," I used to say. "I don't like the way drugs make me feel." And people left me alone, and didn't pressure me. So I got through it. This book never left me. I thought about it all during the 70's when people passed cocaine around like breath mints, and I never forgot Alice. She was like a guardian angel. I kept saying "no" with her standing behind me, supporting me and backing me up, while the people around me wound themselves tighter and tighter into their addictions. To say this book is a "must read" would be an understatement. I am absolutely convinced that Alice has saved lives - perhaps tens of thousands of them. That may have been the whole reason for her short life, in much the same way that Anne Frank's life had a purpose. Some people were put here to teach and guide, and Alice was one of these.

Summary: Excellent!!!
Review: This book is a diary of a 15 year old girl who discovers the world of drugs and sex. She tells about her experiences and how she changes. She used to be a good school girl then she didn't care anymore and lost all of her old friends. She had stories of how she ran away and lived on the streets.
I could relate to some of her feelings and situations. She had problems with people talking about her and peole using her.She acted like she didn't care, and after awhile she started feeling what was going on and why people were saying things.
I recommend this book to people who like to read about real-life problems and diaries.

Summary: The best book ever!!
Review: This was the the best book I've ever read. When I was reading it I couldn't put it down! Since then I can't find a book that is better than this one. I liked it because I thought about if I would have done what she did, what I would have done.
This book is about a real teenager that uses drugs. It tells you about what it's like when she uses drugs and the crazy things she does when she uses them. This book is the number one page turner ever!

Summary: Go Ask Alice
Review: Go Ask Alice is a book about a 15 year old girl who is addicted to drugs. Alice and her family are moving so she thinks that is a reason for her to use. She started hanging with the wrong crowd and started to use harder drugs. She met a great boy or so she thought, he would buy her all the drugs she needed. She started missing school and soon she ran away. Alice and her friend Jan thought they could make it on their own. They ran away to San Fransisco. Soon Alice figured she couldn't make it on her own. So she called her parents and was on a one way ticket home. When she arrives she confesses to her parents that she has a drug addiction. They put her in treatment. It works for a while.She and starts going back to school. This book teaches young females that young handsome boys can get you into trouble. It also teaches that drugs are not a game. They might be fun for a while but in the end they tear you apart. I give this book 5 stars because it tells about what drugs can do to you and how bad they are. DON'T DO DRUGS

Summary: This book is my life
Review: Go Ask Alice is a great book about a 15 year old girl and her problems with drugs. She is also on the run. She thinks that there is no one to help her. She came through and met a lot of bad people that just encourage her bad habits. Then she finally realizes that there are people that can help and love her. But it's too late for Alice. She just became another stistic. In my eyes that is one of the worst things to do, becoming just another drug death statisisic. I love this book because for a log time I was Alice. I thot that no one love me or caried for me and thin I weat into tretment. their I learnd that a lot of people do truly love me and that drugs are not the answer.

Summary: More than just a page turner
Review: This journal is absolutely amazing.You end up feeling like you are her diary- who she is confiding in and you wish you could reply to her. This was an emotional roller coaster and eventhough it ends on such a twisted, sad note, it left an impression greater than any other fictional story could. No person should leave this book untouched. I strongly believe there is something for everyone to get out of it.
