Go Ask Alice is one of those books will pull the heart strings of people everywhere. All though the reader never knows the authors realy name, anonymous gets a whole new meaning. Since reading the dreadful story of anonymous' real life, life is obviously too precious to waste. When the reader first meets the main character, he or she will learn about how the author thinks and philosophizes about life. From the beginging of the book and the first drugs the author gets addicted to, the reader will instantly get dragged into the sad and lonely story. From marijuana to LSD, the author clearly has many problems in her life that really should have been adressed much earlyer. The first time I read the book was three years ago and now that I am older, rereading the book lead me to even more heart break. When I was younger i never really understood the concept of lonliness, making desicions that could potentially be dangerous, and striving to feel wanted, but now that I am older, I can feel the actual pain the author went through.
While reading Go Ask Alice, the reader must have strength to handel what the author goes through. The events described are in such vivid detail that some parts of the book will make the reader actually put the book down and have to step away. There are many lessons to be learned from the author. For instance not taking life for granted and try to always satisfy yourself befofre others are only two lessons I took from the book. One quote in particular still holds a spot in my mind, "thousands of other dead things and people were pushing me inside and forcing the lid down on me." (Anonymous-author)
Although Go Ask Alice is a rather serious book, the experiences and events are true and are excellent for teaching lessons. The morals the book teaches readers everywhere are lessons that can never be taken away from the reader. From the first time the reader picks up the book to finishing the book itself, Go Ask Alice will reside in any readers heart for a life time. Go Ask Alice is definatly a must read book for any kind of reader.
