Go ask Alice is a book which has made a debate for years. Young readers want this book to be real, but I happen to agree with those saying it is a work of fiction.

This diary belongs to a girl. She has no real name and the name Alice is given due to mention of it in the book.

It is 1970`S a decade filled with Woodstock, Janis Joplin and a liberal way to raise kids.

The diaries owner starts her drug-abuse at a gathering where she is given acid without knowing.

It is written in a form which suggest that an adult is the diary owner. It feels so unreal compared to "Christiane F" I think that by reading the german book as well, we the readers will see that the way Alice life`s turns from one day to the next is not real.

The great thing about it is that the book does not portrait drugs as cool and because of that young people should might read it and when they are older they can ask Christiane F through her book because that book is sadly real. ( )

This was a great book. I personally don't like reading and this book actually caught my attention, and i finshed it in three days. It is a great book. -- Student review

A sad tale of a girl who was trying to turn her life around. It really shows the unbelieveable pressure people face when trying to kick addiction. ( )

Entertaining but obviously made up. (Or were we supposed to infer that?) ( )

This was a good book and is a good example of why kids should not do drugs because it can ruin your life. ( )
