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.

I don't know what to say about this book. I don't know how I feel about this book. This book was haunting. It was horrifying. It was sad. It was heartbreaking. This is basically a handbook for what not to do when you're a teenager. This poor girl. I can't even pretend to imagine what it wa...
This is one of those books that I felt like everyone had read as a teenager except me, and I had no clue what it was even about. You know, given the title and the fact that I'm familiar with the song that uses the same reference, I really ought to have known. I have to admit that this was kind o...
Raw. So real that you want to jump into the story and help her. I connect with her on so many levels with my history of addiction. I was older than her though, she was only 15, but a lot of the emotions and general events are similar. There is no happy ending. This is not some mediocre story about ...
I read this many years ago as a young teenager, and I'm sure I still have my paperback copy of this book boxed up somewhere. Go Ask Alice is about a teenage girl who gets addicted to drugs. It is written in the form of her diary, and as a teenager myself at the time, it was impossible not to put m...
