Search - Go Ask Alice

Originally published in 1971, this book has sold millions of copies. Most editions say on the front cover "A real diary."

From the back of my copy:
"You can't ask Alice anything anymore. But you can do something -- read her diary. Strong, painfully honest, nakedly candid. The actual story of a desperate girl on drugs and on the run who almost made it.
'An extraordinary work... A document of horrifying reality.' The New York Times"

Actually, it's a fake, written by Beatrice Sparks. Read more at Snopes.

Trivia: In the 1973 made-for-TV version, William Shatner starred as the doomed girl's father.

It is about a girl on drugs and on the run. Very good book I enjoyed it.

Sad story about a young girl who gets on the wrong path through life. Her true diary.

I don't know how this slipped under my radar for all these years - a very powerful and impactful read.

I remember this from high school..it actually prevented me from 'doing drugs' cause it scared me!!

I've read this book more than 3 times. The last time being more than 6 years ago, but I still remember it as being one of the most eye-opening, honest books I've had the pelasure of reading. A true/real journal of a teenager growing up and experimenting with many things... amazing.
