I loved this book. After I read it, I found it wasn’t the true diary, which made me upset. The message is still there, but it changed it for me.

I have a suggestion for this list:

Crank by Ellen Hopkins. Crank is written in verse, and is told from the POV of Kristinia, the meth-addicted former honor student. The book is based on Ellen Hopkin’s struggles with her daughter’s addiction to crank. The sequel, Glass, is just as good. Crank and Glass deal with how the drug-addiction affects the addicts families, not just the user. It certainly helped me with my aunt’s drug addiction, and really changed how I viewed me aunt, and all drug-addicts. All of her other books– Glass, Burned, and Impulse, are very powerful and deal with the things that we– teens– deal with, sometimes, on a daily basis.

Hi Bridgette,

I know, I should have added Crank long ago! I agree it is an excellent treatment of drug addiction, and I even covered it in my Reading Rants book. I just haven’t backtracked yet and added it here, so thank you for your review! I hope you’ll visit and post often.

I really enjoyed the novel Go ask Alice, but it disappoints me that its not real, because after I read it I figured it wasn’t the true diary of some teenager. I know its not because no 15 yr old in the 70’s writes that brilliant with huge words!!! its all bullsh*t!

I don’t care that it wasn’t the true dairy, although it does take something way from it, its a great book.

I loved this book, even though I’m a bit young for it! It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not because it is true that any other teens face similar scenarios, and it still had a great meaning. I loved it!!!

This was an amazing book. I’m really into books about teens with problems, and Go Ask Alice was quite depressing, I mean knowing that she just kept going back to drugs…. The ending was sad but it was really worth my time.
