"Go Ask Alice" (punk, rock, member, cover)

bruise_violet · 10-18-2006, 03:44 PM

I just read this book, and I am still wondering if it is true or not.

It is the diary of a 15 year old drug user, who had her drink spiked with LSD and quickly became addicted, and ruined her life with various drugs. She ran away from home and kept her diary all along.

At the start of the book, it states that it is based on the diary of a 15 year old drug abuser, but I am not sure if this is part of the illusion of the story or not. Inside the cover it says 'fiction', but I am convinced parts of it are real. I have read a bit about it on a few sites, and have discovered that it was only called 'fiction' after the 1980s.

Has anyone read this? I'd be glad of some info.

If not, seriously read it, it's amazing.

Based on usually means we took a basic storyline & exaggerated it 1000 times to give it more dramatic licence.

Yeah thats what I thought, but I read that it was entirely fiction too, so I'm really confused.

It's completely put me off LSD anyway.

I wanted to try acid, but I was put off that when I was suspended from school for smoking pot.

i remember my senior year of high school, we were told that morning that there would be drug sniffing dogs searching the cars in the parking lot. so after lunch, about half of the school simultaneously got "sick" and had to drive home
