5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for all Teenagers, 12 Feb 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Go Ask Alice (Hardcover)
I first read this book when I was a young teenager and just finished reading it for my second time. It is a very powerful book, taking the reader into the mind of an average teenager whose life is completely distorted by drugs. It will give the reader a different outlook on the sterotypes of drug users, and turn possible experimenters in the right direction. Written by a teenager, it is easily understandable by another.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, 19 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Go Ask Alice (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.

2.0 out of 5 stars A dishonest book, 27 Jul 2004
By A Customer
It is now well known that this book was not written by an anonymous narrator, but by a woman who also 'authored' multiple other 'anonymous diaries', with probably some other writers (see <http://www.snopes.com/language/literary/askalice.asp> for details). It is not very honest of the publisher to continue to market this book as a true confession.

In addition, it's really not a very good book. Once you read it, it is clear that no 15-year-old would write this way, but neither is it very well written. If you want your teenager to read about the 'perils of drugs' give them Melvyn Burgess's Junk instead - at least that feels real.
