If you’re looking for a thrilling, very real, and very scary book, one might recommend reading Go Ask Alice, a REAL diary by a lost and confused girl who got mixed up in drugs and sex and the wrong crowd. The New York Times hails it as “an extraordinary work…a document of horrifying reality.”
But Alice’s life did not start out that way. She was no different than you and me. She turned fifteen in the very beginning of the book and was very concerned about her weight and lack of a social life (particularly a boyfriend).
She soon moved and life seemed to be getting gloomy to her. She finally found some friends, and one mixed her up with a boy who used a lot of drugs. She experienced her first trip, LSD, at a party he held where she didn’t even know what was going on. From there, everything went downhill. She began craving all sorts of drugs; wanting to try them all because of the wonderful time she had experimenting with them.
Her LSD experience led to her having sex for the first time, which led to confused emotions and questionable actions from her. Eventually, she ran away with a friend to San Francisco. She led an okay life, having a job and a house and a friend to be with, but drugs eventually find her there, too. More parties, more drugs, and more experiences lead to a whole mess of a journal, one that I most assuredly don’t want to spoil.
I HIGHLY recommend this book, especially for those who think that drugs are the answer. It shows what carelessness can lead to, and also serves as a self-motivator to live and love life and stay clean and not let the little things get you down. I award this novel a nine out of ten. It is a quick and easy read, and it is unbelievably powerful. Great book!
