false 46799 23 The torture and hell of adolescence has rarely been captured as clearly as it is in this classic diary by an anonymous, addicted teen. Lonely, awkward, and under extreme pressure from her "perfect" parents, "Anonymous" swings madly between optimism and despair. When one of her new friends spikes her drink with LSD, this diarist begins a frightening journey into darkness. The drugs take the edge off her loneliness and self-hate, but they also turn her life into a nightmare of exalting highs and excruciating lows. Although there is still some question as to whether this diary is real or fictional, there is no question that it has made a profound impact on millions of readers during the more than 25 years it has been in print. Despite a few dated references to hippies and some expired slang, <I>Go Ask Alice</I> still offers a jolting chronicle of a teenager's life spinning out of control. 2115708 book 1970 Go Ask Alice total:16085|5:3949|4:4934|3:4786|2:1704|1:712| 16085 57959 20098 1756 1 37 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Tue Aug 14 20:00:49 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 01 14:58:27 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 18 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1989 Sun Jun 03 22:50:27 -0700 2007 Tue Mar 31 22:06:07 -0700 2009
