Go Ask Alice

Summary: An Absolutely Must Read!!!
Review: Oh my God, this has to be the most moving book I have ever read. The fact that it was actually a diary of a girl not much older than me is facinating. I never thought much of the harm of drugs before. To me everyone seemed to make to big about the issue and I just wanted everyone to shut up and let other people destroy their lives if that's what they wanted. Boy did I change my mind after reading this. I literally cried. I am so glad that the book doesn't hold anything back (except names and stuff like that). Instead it tells teens the causes and effects of drugs in vivid detail. Anyone who is considering any type of drug, let it be pot or LSD, should read this book. Because like Alice says, "Once you start, there isn't even life without drugs..."

Summary: a wonderful insight to the teenage mind
Review: I first read this book my first year of high school. I was experimenting with drugs and I feel that my calling to read this book was a subconsious cry for help. I found myself enthrawled in this book, unable to put it down. It was so real- as if someone had opened up Alice's mind and dumped every thought and emotion onto a piece of paper. I related to every one of Alice's feelings and ideas- the yearning to break free, the new change, the fun.... I also related to the downpull that the drugs caused- in myself and in my friends. The book was cold, hard reality- like a slap in the face that I desparately needed. I gave the book to my sister to read. She had a lot of the same drug problems as me, only worse. After she read it, she wouldn't stop talking about it for days.... and the amazing part was she has never read a book for enjoyment in her life.

Summary: Your teenager has to read this book!
Review: I read this book in high school and have read it about 10-15 times since. I am buying another copy as I lost my previous to a friend of whom I loaned. This book is an actual account of a diary kept by a young teenager who fell prisoner to peer pressure and drugs. She receives her diary as a birthday present and starts writing in it as an innocent addolescent. Then the innocense is broken while she tries acid for the first time at a party. Her world turns topsy turvy and it seems the only solice she can gather is writing in her "diary" which becomes scraps of paper while she is homeless and without her book. The book escalates to an ironic and tragic ending. I feel this book is a must for parents with teenagers as it will defenately send warning signals to parents and teens about the dark world of drugs.

Summary: A Book That Teens Should Read; Parent's of Teens Should Read
Review: 'Go Ask Alice,' by Anonymous was a book that I think that teens should read, as well as parent's of teens. It was really informational and interesting to read what a real teen's point of you on life, not to mention how drugs mess up your life. It was a sad book, but, being a teen and speaking for many teen's out there, I think that it encourages teens to stay away from drugs to not push other substances like them. It was sad what happened to 'Alice,' but, it's real life, and 'Alice,' was one of the many cases of drug abuse in that year.... it was one of the best books I've ever read and it taught me so much that I can't describe. It tells me that I should never be lured in by peer pressure, the thing that lures so many girls like me or boys teens in to trying illegal substances like 'speed,' 'pot,' or 'lsd' I also encourage more people to have talks with Teens like me in schools. I have one message: DON'T DO DRUGS- THEY WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER...

Summary: aol
Review: I think the book/diary,"Go Ask Alice" was good. After ending it i changed the way i think about drug and drug use. Alice was a young girl who started to hangout with the wrong people. Must people that do drugs say that I won't hurt you but everyday kids are dying of drug overdose and many other things. Knowing that this book wasn't written and that it was some young girls thoughs really got to me. i think that after kids read this book they will change the way they think of what they are doing and what they are putting in their body's. Alice was just like many kids i know, she didn't hang out with the wrong people and no one would think that someone like that would get into drugs and drinking, but everyone is going to be ask to do things that they know that they shouldn't but some people, like alice didn't know the first time they did drugs because someone at a party put something in their drink and this is how girl and guys are getting kill everyday from people like that. I just know that i will get my own drinks and food. That is why everyone should be talking about this because if they aren't and they don't know what they are getting into their life could go down a dark hole and never beable to get out into the light. i will tell as many people about this book because i think that kids in any grade should know what can happen. As i read the part about Alice going to schools and selling drugs to kids around the age 9 got to me because those kids don't know what to do and could kill them self by a drug overdose as fast as anyone else, maybe first because they don't know what they are doing. As i finsh these letter i will like to ask if anyone know about anymore books/diary of kids like this. thank you Annie

Summary: ...has a very strong message to send to teens...
Review: "Go Ask Alice" is a great book to explain drugs to teenagers. It is extremely real, yet does not have the same negative effects as parental lectures. Reading this book is a terrific way to get through to teens.

Summary: This book will make you wonder about your life in the future
Review: Farenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is the story of a fireman, Guy Montag, who as a result of his society, burns books for a living. Guy's questioning of his job makes the reader reflect on his or her own life and beliefs. In this post-war future, society has become meaningless and empty because people fell in to what was comfortable ans easy. Books were thought to promote free thinking and unacceptable ideas. This is the tale where uniformity and simple minded ideas dominate the society. The book is very confusing and the end leaves you wondering if someone forgot to print the final page. However, we highly recommend this novel which shows a future which might become our future if we deny books the attention that they deserve.
