Format:Paperback
I have read this book over and over again since I was 14. Each and everytime I find something new and understand it just that little bit more. To me Alice's diary demonstrates the pressure on teens now, haven't changed in any real way at all, to what it was like then. There are still people pushing drugs, kids still despise what their parents say and it just keeps going on from one generation to the next. This book made me think a lot more about every decision I made and how it might affect me. I think about Alice at the most unusual times like when I'm shopping as if she was my friend and I actually knew her. Growing up is hard enough but to try and do that and quit drugs at the same time would be torture. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone no matter what age. Parents will appreciate it because it will remind them of just how hard it was to be a teenager. For teenagers it'll be a bit of a wake up call that will show you just what drugs will do to you and that you have to choose your friends wisely. This is a book that you will read over and over again as if each time was the first.

Format:Paperback
As a drama teacher in some of the most drug ravished schemes in Glasgow, I found this book to be more than just a concience tugging read. It has been a life line to so many young people who have to make uninformed decisions on a daily basis that drastically alters their lifes. Alice is a real person who reaches the highs that few people in education are willing to admit exsist.It also, without predjudice and vindication, makes the reader horrifyingly aware of the lows. In a society where education cannot compete with pop culture, Alice has a voice that touches and penetrates with a message few could so convincingly sell.

must read
Read this when I was a teenager ( not yesterday!) and still think it's a must read and still relevant today. Page turner I would recommend for all.

I am an extremely suggestible person. Lucky for me that no-one offered me drugs as a teenager in the 70s. Read more

It is a simple story about, how even a girl from very normal family, can end up in big trouble,

nonsense, but five stars for laughs
This book is miscategorized by Amazon. It isn't, and never was, a biography. It also contains nothing relevant concerning the truth about problems of addiction and substance abuse. Read more

Entertaining but unconvincing
Like P, I have serious doubts as to the authenticity of this so-called diary. As s/he and other reviewers have already pointed out, most of it seems to be the work of Beatrice... Read more

Go Ask Alice Anonymous
This book is timeless, though it was based in the 70's. Alice keeps an account of all the new experiences she has with the best and most popular drugs of the time. Read more

Worst attempted representation of drugs culture I've ever read.
Trust me this is the single most ridiculous thing I've ever read. The drugs culutre simply does not work like this, people don't just get drugs thrown at them and another thing is... Read more
