Didn’t Like It13 of 15 members found this review helpful“First off, this diary is not a memoir but actually a work of fiction by a woman named Beatrice Sparks--mormon youth counsellor and "editor" of a number of other teen diaries about teenage sex and satanic rituals. |
“This book is a cautionary tale about the dangers of drug use based on one girl's actually diary. It includes some fascinating imagery and a plot that twists and turns. The end is nothing like you would expect to happen. Overall Go Ask Alice is a quick read and it is definitely worth reading.”

Yes | No“Go Ask Alice is very similar to Crank by Ellen Hopkins in the sense that it has to do with teenage drug abuse, pregnancy and sex. I think that Go Ask Alice is a lot more graphic in the sense that the imagery was dark and gory and that it was a lot more sexual. I think it should be made into a movie, even if there is an absurd amount of sex and drugs. I think that it would be revolutionary in the sense that people will acknowledge that drugs and sex have a negative impact on people at a worldwide scale.I think this book should be read by everyone and this book to me is a revolutionary book.”

I was angry at the ending; she had everything going for her and was turning herself around only to be found mysteriously dead. But the rest of the book wasn't that engrossing to me.”
