Book Reviews of Go Ask Alice

Book Review: Exceptional Read...
Summary: 5 Stars

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" which is based on true accounts, for those that care.
Both books were major impacts on my life. I grew up watching others around me battle drug and alcohol addictions and struggled to understand what they were going through. Both books helped me understand addictions and the struggles with them better.

Summary of 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.


The torture and hell of adolescence has rarely been captured as clearly as it is in this classic diary by an anonymous, addicted teen. Lonely, awkward, and under extreme pressure from her "perfect" parents, "Anonymous" swings madly between optimism and despair. When one of her new friends spikes her drink with LSD, this diarist begins a frightening journey into darkness. The drugs take the edge off her loneliness and self-hate, but they also turn her life into a nightmare of exalting highs and excruciating lows. Although there is still some question as to whether this diary is real or fictional, there is no question that it has made a profound impact on millions of readers during the more than 25 years it has been in print. Despite a few dated references to hippies and some expired slang, Go Ask Alice still offers a jolting chronicle of a teenager's life spinning out of control.
