This book gave me a view of the world where drugs are definitely there. You will feel sorry for Alice and grow to love her.  This book is old but it is still a book where you can learn from it.  After reading 1/2 of this book you know what will happen when you start to take drugs and the affect. I think everyone should read this book when they are growing up. Mitchell Year 9

‘Go ask Alice’ is the traumatic life story of a 15 year old girl tormented into a life of drugs and crime. It’s a ground shaking, mind blowing book. The level of emotion in Alice’s dairy is unbelievable; she shows us the harsh teenage life and gives us a glimpse into the world of drugs and abuse. This book does not hold any solutions, it targets a very specific life style. It is an insight into the youth of this ever growing dangerous world we live in today. Rachelle Year 9

‘Go Ask Alice’ is a diary about a 15-year-old girl, she starts to hang out with the wrong crowd and that’s when she turns to drugs like speed and LSD. At one point she thinks she is a pregnant. She runs away from home to go to San Fransico. Her life is a mess but she is hooked on drugs. She tries to stop but she is addicted. It is a crazy and full on book. It is for ages 13 and up because this book has drug use. Paige Year 9

Being based on a real story, I was astounded by some of the things that have gone on in the book so far with ‘Alice’. This book has so far taught me that even if you take the tiniest amount of drugs you can turn you into an addict, as shown when Alice writes: “I don’t know why I shouldn’t use drugs, as they’re wonderful, but I know I shouldn’t” (‘Go Ask Alice’ – Page 39). This book perfectly explains how drugs damage people’s lives, and lead to their ultimate downfall. This book really made me feel sorry for Alice as she was real. This book is fascinating, and should be read by all who are worried about drugs taking over their lives. Jack Year 9

Written by an anonymous teenage girl, ‘Go Ask Alice’ is the journey of a 15-year-old girl who quickly becomes addicted to drugs. Her first experience was unwillingly; LSD was slipped into her drink and her drug  journey begins from there. She feels the need to try different drugs and experience new things. She goes off the rails, she runs away from home twice. Each time she tries to stay clean drugs always seem to slip back into her life. By Tayla, Year 9

The book ‘Go ask Alice’ is the anonymous diary of a 15-year-old girl who hangs out with the wrong crowd, and gets herself into a fantasy world of drugs. She is unwillingly introduced to drugs and easily gets addicted. This is based on a true story; it is a very informative book as she writes about all her experiences and the ups and downs in her life. I personally liked this book because it is bursting with emotions and I could relate to her and how she was feeling throughout the book. I would personally recommend this book to 14+ years, as it is quite graphic.
