by Anonymous I read this Classic many years ago, but had forgotten most of it so tried a sample and it held my interest enough to pay the 1.99 Kindle price so I could keep going, though I hadn't yet got to the 'meat' of the story. It's about an ordinary young girl in America who has a lot of ins...

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...

Don't do drugs, kids. They'll turn you in to a lesbian for, like, half a day. Then you'll become a prostitute. Then your "dopy doper" friends will ruin your reputation so that nobody will ever want to marry you. Then you'll be put in a mental hospital. Then you'll die. Really, really, really!You hav...

Not impressed. I've been hearing about this book for a long time now, and finally got around to reading it. It didn't take me long, but I honestly skimmed through half of it, finding most of it unnecessary and rather annoying to read. I get it, its based on a true story, about a girl who fell into t...

Go Ask Alice came up when discussing “creative non-fiction” on YIM with a friend for which it is her field. Basically, creative non-fiction is not supposed to be creative in the sense of fabricated, but it’s supposed to cover works written about real people and events that keeps to the facts but is ...

I find this book to be one of the most difficult I’ve ever rated/reviewed. On one hand, the “shock and awe” propaganda tactics of the author writing this “diary” are so cliché it’s absolutely laughable so I want to give it 1 Star. On the other hand, it’s well written, I flew right through it and, ...
