I think this book writes in a interesting way while it teaches us a life lesson by expressing in diary form. Throughout the whole book, it brought the reader's attention by giving us enough details. while changing the setting so fast that you don't really know what has happen in between. It is basically talking about a teen girl once believed she have the best life she can ever get. Until she drink a coke that has drug. Her life changed after since then. She couldn't keep herself from addicting to drug. She once did decide to change, and start over. After self struggling and series of therapy and going through different kind of hospital, she finally managed to keep herself stop falling for drugs and self harm. My opinion on this book is that it is absolutely real. The events and things that are descrbed in the story shows how the addiction would go. After reading this book, I sort of found out how scary is these drug can really affect a person's life. It is interesting because it gives you a close look on what their life could be and things that they could go through. It is also heartbreaking to think that there is thousands of teenage kids who could go through things that are similar. I would definitly suggest this book to 8th grade and above. I would definitly not recommand this book to 7th grade or under becuase this topic may be a little adult, and also it contains words and phrases that are censored for children.

This book was so "messed up". This is a good thing, it means that the book had a character in which her life was messed up, it felt like she needed help, but we couldn't help her, all we could do is read the book till the end. The end of the book, made me wonder about a lot of things, about life, and about how we live our life.

Go Ask Alice is about a 15 year old girl, once living in what she thought was the most perfect world, but that takes a turn for the worst. She goes to a party, and drinks coke with a drug in in. She longs for that feeling again. Then she starts doing math, crystals, bath salts, anything you could imagine. You know it hits rock bottom when she pressures little kids to start. The girl starts to babysit, and she hears someone break into the house. The girl goes into the closet with the baby, and experiences the worst feeling she never wanted. Cockroaches and beetles and worms infesting her.She gets help, and she doesn't do drugs anymore.
Go Ask Alice is one of the best books I have ever read. It tells the truth about the world! The good, the bad, and the ugly.
