Go Ask Alice is written by an Anonymous author and is about 214 pages long. The format of this book is in a journal form as if you were reading from someones diary. In her diary, Alice talks about her troubles through her teenage years.
Alice is a teenage girl who becomes addicted to extremely dangerous drugs. She doesn't only write about her addiction to new drugs, she speaks about her relationship with her parents, and how she being accepted into different groups of people. One of the main drugs that she talks about a lot is LSD. She mentions how it affected her and later on her struggles as she runs away from home. During time that she runs away from she witnesses different things that her "friends" would do for drugs or to get high. She also realizes that when she home she was safe and that her parents were also there for her. She eventually comes back home and things start to get bettter for her but then things turn against her once again and maybe this time it's for the worst.
I think this book would be great for anyone between 14 and up. Some of the things that she witnesses or talks about can be somewhat graphic. But I think that anyone who reads this book will realize different things about life and how fragile life can really be. I loved this book and hope that if you read it you will enjoy also.
I find it really interesting that this book was written by ana anonymous author. Is the book sad at times?
ReplyDeletethats sounds interesting how she is on all these drugs but then cleans her life up.
ReplyDeleteWow this book sounds really good but is it sad? It is true though and many teens shoudl really read this. Many teens don't realize the effects they have on others and their family when they do drugs.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to know if it was a true story.? This book sounds very interesting. I might just have to read it sometime..
ReplyDeleteI remember reading this book as a class book in school. It was published as a true story, but has been listed as a work of fiction for the last 20'ish years. It's still a good book, though. It provides an interesting description from an insider's point of view of drug use and family strife.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really good book. I will have to read it sometime. But it does sound sad at times. I like how it tells you the point of view of the family not just the drug user.
