Review
I read Go Ask Alice assuming that I would be reading a novel featuring a true account of a teenage drug user. Currently, I am unsure if this story is true or not but I will agree that it is a great novel. This novel should be read by all teenagers entering high school. The main character in this story was very similar to a typical teenager and the only thing that gave away the age of the novel was some of the slang words that were used by characters. The Characters fall into addiction is described perfectly the only thing that made me think that this may not have been written by a teenager was when she described how the drugs made her feel. It was very technical and cold the description seemed as if it came out of a text book. Overall I enjoyed this novel.
