Go Ask Alice Book Report
Go Ask Alice By Anonymous

For my summer reading, I chose to read Go Ask Alice. It is a diary about a high school girl who gets hooked on to drugs. She was trapped in a downward spiral that took her from her great home and a loving and caring family to the streets of an unforgiving city. It is a first person account of her harrowing descent into the nightmarish world of drugs. This diary explains the hardships and troubles she went through. Alice was used, made fun of, raped and much more. While reading Go Ask Alice, i've learned many new interesting things. One interesting thing I learned was that drugs are very addicting and harmful. Thousands of deaths occur a year due to drugs. Rather its pills or pot. I’ve learned that

    I read the book what Happened to Cass McBride. It was a very good book that keeps you on your toes. What I liked most about it though was that you would never expect what happens in the end of the story. I also like that the main character who stayed strong through the whole book and it teaches people who read this, that just when you think it’s over, it’s really not. This is one of my favorite books that I have read.…

    I liked this book mainly because of how different it was compared to my lifestyle and how entertaining it was. Nikki turner didn’t really sugar coat much so I felt I was watching a movie and saw it for what it truly was. Like anyone’s guilty pleasure we all like reality television and it kind of reminded me of just that with fights and drama. The books good points that were how certain events that happen in one’s life good or bad really do shape a person into who they become. Teaching me to not be ashamed of what happens and to only use that circumstance as a motivation of some kind. For anyone that is interested in a gritty, suspenseful, and eye bulging book that keeps you wondering what’s next I would definably recommend this book to that someone willing to take a…

    What kinds of genres are the most interesting? Is it horror, romance, action, paranormal or maybe it is a genre that I didn't list. Either way, if you find that young adult and mystery is your cup of tea, then maybe Awake by Natasha Preston may be the perfect book for you. The main character is Scarlett. She is a normal 16-year-old girl who is in high school (lives in the UK). Although she may live a normal life and have a normal family, there is one thing that may not be classified as normal. She cannot remember anything before the age of four. A new student named Noah transfers into to the school and they began to get close.…

    I thought during the whole story I think she crossed more than one threshold. The first one was when she fell down the hole and entered wonderland because the trees by the two holes were both twisted and looked very similar. Her coming out of the hole to Wonderland to me was like the crossing in a new unknown land. Another threshold was when she made it up in her mind that she was the hero and started believing in wonderland and the impossible.…

    This novel shows the extreme lengths of negative drug use and what one will do just to feel the sense of belonging. As she struggles to keep sane and grips on to reality, she gets more addicted to drugs. Her journey starts off with drinking a soda laced with LSD and getting drugged by her ‘friends’ at a high school party. At the time she had no clue what was going on but her thoughts seemed to enjoy the feeling she got. “It was so beautiful I could not stand the sight of it.” Her enjoyment of drugs led her to another world of horrible things, but her desperation of being accepted to her new school was far more important in her eyes. “They accepted me like I had always been one of their crowd.” Like most teens fitting in is important and can be very hard at times. I, in all honesty think it is important to fit in and feel accepted. I can see that Alice was just trying to fit in, although she was getting negative peer pressure to do the wrong thing.…

I am usually not interested in biographies, but I really enjoyed this book. I liked how she told the story just from her point of view and how she felt about the situation. She was a young girl whose mother had a mental condition called munchausen by proxy in which she…
