I just love to read! For me, it is a way to escape and discover new worlds, to do things you never thought possible, to explore emotions and feelings through words, and I can do it all in the comfort of my imagination. And even though they are not real, I believe the characters you meet in books can change your life and the way you see the world, if you let them.

Go Ask Alice by Anonymous

Synopsis:
After you've had it, there isn't even life without drugs....

It started when she was served a soft drink laced with LSD in a dangerous party game. Within months, she was hooked, trapped in a downward spiral that took her from her comfortable home and loving family to the mean streets of an unforgiving city. It was a journey that would rob her of her innocence, her youth -- and ultimately her life.

My Review:
I really do not have much to say which for me means this book did not have an impact on me. I respect this book for what it is and the subject matter. With that said this is not my type of book so I mostly skimmed through after I had read the first half. I feel like there are better written books about people dealing with drug use. I am not really a fan of the way in which the story was presented because while diary entries can be insightful and be a place to explore inter feelings, these were just uninteresting. I think the problem is that a diary is mostly a random commentary on life which is not meant for other people to read. It is also a place to ramble about our day and other people and no one can ramble like a teenage girl. I won’t be recommending it to other people because I don’t want them to waste their time like I did.
