Go Ask Alice
Anonymous
I first read Go Ask Alice when I was in sixth grade. My teacher read it to our class and left out some parts because she felt they were too inappropriate for us to hear. After rereading this book, I am unsure whether she should have read it to us at all. This book is intense especially because it is a diary of a real person and not just someone made up. Each journal entry kept me wanting to read on and turn the page until I eventually finished it.
I would recommend Go Ask Alice to people in middle school and above. It introduces you to the effects that drugs can have on people. Some may think it’s unlikely to become addicted, but this diary shows you that it is very easy to become hooked.
This book also made me think twice about trusting people. One of the main reasons the girl is put in uncomfortable situations is due to the friends that she has. It’s important that we make friends we can trust. And, if you can’t trust someone then is that person really a good friend?
It’s a shame that the girl had to go through so many terrible experiences, but I do recommend this book. It’s an easy read, it’s interesting, and it’s a true account of how drugs impacted a girl’s life.
