I am nearly finished reading Go Ask Alice, and it was a very gripping novel As said on the inside cover, his book is "based on the actual diary of a fifteen-year old drug user."
This novel takes the reader on a first-person journey of how a normal girl, who lives an ordinary, happy life with her family, who ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time, getting served a drink laced with LSD. As the story goes on, you watch as her life starts spiraling downhill as she falls into the clutches of addiction.
There are times when I am reading this book when I find myself getting extremely frustrated with the protagonist (who's name we never learn), and times when I want nothing more than to help her. The diary structure really engages the reader and makes this book a true page-turner. My rating for this book is 4.5 out of 5 stars, and I would recommend this novel to everyone.
Sounds like a unique book. So how does she know the drink had LSD? Also, wouldn't alcohol plus the LSD be totally different than LSD alone? Anyways, I've never been a fan of these sorts of books, but if I need one to read, I'll try this.
ReplyDeleteThe drink she was served was pop but it was laced with LSD, so she didn't know that she was consuming anything harmful. And I haven't been much of a fan either, but I'm glad I decided to pick it up!
DeleteThis book sounds very intense and confusing. I could never imagine having this happen to me, NEVER ORDERING A DRINK FROM ANYWHERE EVER AGAIN! In health last year i had to research these kinds of drugs but didn't look into the victims feelings or thoughts after. Has this book made you think twice about anything?
