The book Go Ask Alice is written in a diary form. So far, this book has been rather interesting and has kept me hooked. It is said to be the real diary of a young 15 year old girl that died from drug addiction. At first, the girl is a calm, studious- yet lonely girl. She has almost no friends and feels as if no one notices her. Then, she is invited to a party and has a drug (LSD) putten into her drink. After this, she begins to try out all sorts of drugs and is hooked. She quicly becomes an addict.
Next, as a result she runs away from home twice and does everything and anything she needs to in order to get the drugs she needs. At one point she was even a pusher- which sells the drugs.
Now, she has promised herself (for the second time) that she will stay away from drugs and try to go back to her normal life. Still, i think that she will only be able to stay without drugs for a short time.. because she alwas talk about how she misses them.

This book has really left me wondering if theyre are really young teens that are addcits and go through the struggles that this girl is facing. I never thought that young people would actually go to drugs for help and not realize that what they are doing is wrong. I just hope that from this book many teens learn tat drugs can only help you escape for a short time- and can later on cause serious consequences such as pregnancy, addiction and even death.
I also think that this book touches very delicate deep points and that if you are reading this book you must be mature and understand that drugs are not what they seem.
I hope that others and I can learn something from this book and pass it on to others.
