    I thought this book was very good considering how it was written. Very true for some people. It makes you feel like your the actual character in the novel.

    It's a classic. I think I read it about 25 years ago... and I never forgot it. It doesn't matter if you believe it to be fiction or auto-biographical, it resonates through you and is a wake-up call. Poignant, sad and hopeful. It's amazing how this book is as interesting now as it was then... and in many ways still as relevant.

    This book is a definite must for your bookshelf! The story pulls at your heartstrings, makes you laugh, cry, and then bawl your eyes out. A beautifully tragic story that teaches a valuable lesson. This book is the reason I'm drug-free. This book opened my eyes, And as promised, I'll never forget her story. Highly recommend, especially for the teenagers and young adults who are surrounded by peer-pressure.

    I read Go Ask Alice many years ago. One of the best things about it is because it's a first hand account of her actual life, simply her journal entries, this is not a preachy book. It simply shares her real experiences, thoughts and feelings. The reader automatically has compassion and concern for the writer and allows them to recognize that they are not "bullet proof". I honestly think all young teens or preteens should read this and have a copy of it. Go Ask Alice is a classic book, You Betcha anyone who reads it will get something good out of it.

    This is like one of the best books I've ever read! It's so amazing and sad. I teared up reading this book.Yes this book is as bit graphic, but when you get past that it's an amazing tale that needs to be read.

    I read this in junior high and remember being so fascinated by it. I never knew things like this really happened. I think everyone that age should read this book. Very touching story about a young girl. I don't want to spoil it, but a great tween/teen read!
