After you've had it, there isn't even life without drugs....

It started when she was served a soft drink laced with LSD in a dangerous party game. Within months, she was hooked, trapped in a downward spiral that took her from her comfortable home and loving family to the mean streets of an unforgiving city. It was a journey that would rob her of her innocence, her youth -- and ultimately her life.

Read her diary.

Enter her world.

You will never forget her.

For thirty-five years, the acclaimed, bestselling first-person account of a teenage girl's harrowing decent into the nightmarish world of drugs has left an indelible mark on generations of teen readers. As powerful -- and as timely -- today as ever, Go Ask Alice remains the definitive book on the horrors of addiction.

Still a Classic and Unforgettable Tale!

Go Ask Alice was one of those novels that I grew up with remembering quite clearly. As a child who loved to read, Go Ask Alice was one of the best pre-teen novels of my generation. Of course, it's been 20 years since I last picked up the book but I still remember it as it was yesterday. A young girl who becomes addicted to drugs and the fall of her life afterwards. I think all children over ten years old should read this book regardless of how people who reviewed this book here. First, it's for children and not really for adults. It will take the readers' into the mind of a young girl, Alice, and help them realize the downside of drugs which still plague the nation. This book is a winner and memorable if not because it has inspired me not to take Alice's road to self-destruction.

White Rabbit

I read this book in school when I was 15 years old and I just had to have a copy for myself.
To anyone that has ever had a brush with the drug world as a teenager and lived throught it...THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU !!!


Who cares if it's a hoax!?!

What does it matter if this is book is a work of fiction (a "hoax" as some reviewers have called it)?! When I read it as a 13 y/o (back in the early 80's) it scared the crap out of me. It did its job of helping to keep me off drugs. What's wrong with that!?!


Timeless diary - and a challenge for todays teen

Yes, this is a work of fiction as others point out. Yes, it's an older book (...what no raiding of the parents drug cabinets? noone knew sudafed could be used for anything but a sinus infection? Had it even been invented?? Heck, people wouldn't even know what a "cutter" was then, and Karen Carpenter had yet to die and make anorexia an everyday term, no cell phones, texts or ipods mentioned??...) And yet, still...

Still, this could be the diary of any teen today that finds themselves in the grip of life beyond their control (and perhaps there's every reason to believe it's harder to control than ever)- and unable to reclaim it. It's a timeless theme, and it's well-written to stand that test of time. I challenge any teen to read it --- knowing it was written in their parent's day - and not find that in some ways the world hasn't changed.

Umm...Yeah

Wow...
So I was forced to read this book for a mother daughter book club and besides the fact that I was scared out of my wits, I think that it was a pretty good book. It isn't anything that I would ever pick up on my own, but there are definitely people out there that would like it. If you enjoy books like Perfect, or Drowning Anna, I would recommend it. If you are the sort of person who would rather read about things that are happy, or can't read creapy things before going to sleep, then this is NOT the book for you!
I would say that overall it an ok book, especially if you are in a group so you can discuss the contents. Also, don't read the epilogue!! It is completely depressing, I don't know why the author added it.
