Go Ask Alice

Reader reviewed by MEL

DEALING WITH A SIBLING WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS, I THINK THAT THIS BOOK IS VERY REAL AND IT IS A HARD DOSE OF REALITY. PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THEIR ADDICTIONS AND THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE SEEN THAT SHOWS THAT.

I'm actually writing this in response to the review given by L. Eustace.

I think they skimmed over a good portion of the book. Alice was never "quite popular", in fact she was an outcast. She made some friends with a FEW people like herself over time. The first party she went to consisted of people who weren't really her friends, and the people she became close with later in the book were loners like herself.

Also, to call a young woman's problems trite is ridiculous. Sometimes "simplicity" as you call it is all it takes to bring forth an important message.

I found the book fascinating, especially during the long detailed descriptions of her trips. I couldn't put the book down when she was at her lowest and writing a bunch of stuff that didn't make sense...I so wanted to know what was going on, and I couldn't make much out of it until it was explained later when she went back home.

I think it is an important message, a book that is needed to be addressed in the education of young people.

This book was great! You have to read it in the mindset of a 15 year old. I'm close to getting my degree to teach English, and we are now learning about all of the controversial books, when this book came up. I decided to read it, and I hope to be able to present this to a classroom.

I have never tried any type of drug, and this gave me an idea of what it might be like to experience that. I can't imagine ever going through the things this girl went through. Whether this diary is real or not, I believe it's a good book to turn curious teens off of drugs. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in reading it!

It was very good book. It caught my attention because of the way it told how teenagers are faced with the pressure of using drugs. In my point of view, I think that this book should be read by all teenagers so they can get a good hard dose of reality.

Alice is girl who started taking drugs when she was 15 years old. She was at a party and someone put LSD in her drink. Ever since that day her life changed. She became adicted to it and it became an addiction. Alice was my favorite character, mostly because she was the only main character. I think everyone who is above the age of 10 would enjoy this book because it is about a temptation that older kids have to face...drugs. Reading this book has given me an understanding about what drugs can do to you, and I know I will never take them.

This book is for guys and girls. I really reccomend it. It excplaines a lot about drugs and how they hurt a young girls life. It is a sad book but really really good. I've read it about 15 times. I totally reccomend it.
