When my nonna started reading this book, she told me I should read it too, because it was about a teenage girl like me (I've never drugged, but I was a teenager). But when she finished it, she hid it from me. Of course I found it, I read it and I understood why she was keeping it away from me. 

This book is so heartbreaking. The girl suffering, without the control of the situation got me mad. That is what drugs do. So bad people still dies everyday due to them. This book should be read in schools in order to raise awareness among teenagers.

It starts off 'normally' then devolves into weird preachy stuff and the preachiness of it all is terrible.

There's a lot of debate whether this is a true story or not but I don't think that matters, tbh. If this can help someone change the course of their life by helping them have an "addict's" insight, let it. 

I liked the story. I can say that I found truth in some excerpts and I think it's fair to have some anti-drug books out there. It's very dated, that's for sure (the "say no to drugs" feel I got from it) but if it helps someone, sounds good to me. 

Anyway, read it and decide for yourself. If it gives you some laughs, that's good too! 

Enjoy!

Makes me think if I did drugs, I'd be long dead by now.

I thought this didn't have an author...oh well this book was amazing.

I started this book at around 10 something in my second period class, I've stopped reading it on and off to do homework. I even took a bath just so I could read it and now I am just finishing it at 12:45 AM. It was captivating and full of really emotion. Alice wanted so much to become a good person but drugs took control of her everything. I'm at a lose for words as how one person can actually go threw so much at such a young age.

I just read Go Ask Alice. I’d been avoiding it for a while, even though my mother said I should read it. And I just read it and well, I don’t know what to say. It’s kind of an odd book. And I’m tired. Ugh. 

I didn't like it, really, but it was very real and frightening.

Every teen should read this book. I read this in 8th grade and vowed I would never touch drugs because of it.

I enjoyed this book mainly because it was a good look at what can cause substance use disorders. The person who wrote this (whether this is anti-drug propaganda or an actual diary) has shown the risk factors that can cause a substance use disorder as well as other comorbid disorders that come with it. The ending was super disappointing.

Actual rating: 3.5/5
Now I would have probably "enjoyed" this book a lot more if I didn't find out that it was basically faked.
Now I wanted to read his book forever, but it felt kind of threatening to me considering I thought it was non-fiction and in that case it would have been a lot harder to read.
Actually I had the exxperience of reading it thinking it was non-fiction for the first 52 pages before taking a closer look at it on goodreads and finding out that it's not real. That fact largely contributed to me being able to read it fast because it being not real made it a lot less emotionally challenging for me, which is good in a way. But as far as my rating goes emotional involvement with the story is a huge factor and finding out that a book that looks like nonfic is faked put me down
