Go Ask Alice

its really good but has some violence andalot of drugs and some minor drinkingbut i really enjoyed reading it. This is not a fun light read bu if you take the time and patience it is a all right book

I'm 16 and only recently discovered Go Ask Alice! in my school library. I have never done drugs I don't drink and I'm not into wild parties however I found I could really relate to the book from a teenager's point of view. I keep a diary and there are things in there I will never share with another person but here is this amazing book opening up to things that most teens lock away. This story really touched me and I have taken to reading any teen story I can get my hands on including Our Little Secret by Allayne Webster and Impulse by Ellen Hopkins. I would recommend Go Ask Alice! to children 15 years or older but I feel it takes a certain type of person to understand this book completely, it simply is not for everyone. I am frustrated by the knowledge but accept that if you were to give this book to many of the 15 or 16 year old kids I know most would not appreciate the book and the message it is trying to give to them. I wish that many of the girls I know could understand because as the pressures of society grow they also start to spiral downwards. Many people criticize this book saying it isn't a real diary and it is all false but really does it matter? One review went so far as to say no teen would use some of the longer words especially in a diary and personally that offended me. I would most certainly use that kind of vocabulary. That is a major problem I find with reviews of any sort especially ones that criticize, we should be encouraging people to make up there own minds about things not damning them before they begin. Different people like different things and I believe in approaching everything with an open mind. I would tell anyone who picks up this book by accident or because they were looking for it to just give it a try. Even if you don't like it it's no big deal stop reading, return it to the library it doesn't matter but don't condemn it before you give it a chance. And to all those people who give harsh comments to turn people away from something be the mature one step back and say I'm going to let you make your own decision. By all means have your own opinion just don't force that opinion on others no offense meant just let people make independent choices. I used to judge things before I'd even tried them and I am thankful for the day my mother locked me in my room until I had read a particular book to prove to me that you only have to give it a try. That series turned out to be one of my all time favorites and I'm a better person now with that lesson in mind and a broad perspective, looking past the face value of someone or something.
