Average Customer Rating:

I think she was murdered	Customer Rating:
On reading this book a few years ago, it was my -- 'hit', hunch, or opinion -- that the protagonist did not die from an accidental overdose, as the editor implied, but was murdered for having informed upon several high school students who were selling drugs to other students, likely as 'foot_soldiers' in an organized crime ring. \

Everyone should read this book

Customer Rating:

I am seventeen year old high school student. I have read many books and this by far is one of the best I have ever read. I finished it in two days, I only stopped to sleep and go to school, where one of my friends picked it up to look at it, and demanded I finish it as soon as possible so he could read it. This book is a must read for everyone, it will help high school students make better decisions and parents understand their children, this book has something to offer everyone.

Not Impressed

Customer Rating:

I read this book in college for a children's lit class. I was not impressed. It is a melodramatic look at the evils of drugs. It reads like a bad after school special, created to frighten teenagers and warn them never to experiment with drugs of any kind. Also, despite the lore following this novel, it was not written by a teenager. Read the novel if must, but there are definitely better books out there about drug usage.

Semi Compelling...

Customer Rating:

This book was kind of interesting. It is NOT written by a teenager. The story is about a girls struggle with drug addiction and personal identity. The things that give away this not so anonymous book is the content. There are several "big" words that are used by te author to suggest that this isnt written by a 14 year old addict. Throughout the story, the narrator spends her time raving about the drugs she uses but spends a little amount of time talking about boys and other "normal" teenage expierecnes. Before the story even starts, there is a note that says this book is fictional and all characters are made up. And the characters name isnt even Alice, Alice is simply a girl who is mentioned once in the book. "Go Ask Alice" is the title of a song sung by Jefferson Airplane. This book was also written during the during the 70s drug hype. This story can be a propaganda book to simply keep teenagers away from drugs. And if all this was real,the people the events and such, why hasnt anyone come through and said anything about this girl or anyone else in the story? Just makes you wonder... So I recommed that you get this book from a library or a friend because it isnt really worth purchasing.

Go Ask Alice	Customer Rating:
I loved this book. The emotion that the protagonist conveys throughout the book is clearly relatable from generation to generation. I recommend this book for every teenager out there.
