Anonymously Alice

Thanks for the work of the anonymous writer of the book called " Go Ask Alice" I find the book to be in my sense of words liking,not only liking but this book describes the life of a young teen in very grafic detail. No im not crazy. Just this is a book,where the truth is told and there are not lies to cover up fact from fiction. For those who have never come across the book or have ever been refered to it by a parent, have no clue what I am saying.



Go Ask Alice is a controversial 1971 book about the life of a troubled teenage girl that is considered a classic of American young adult literature. The book purports to be the actual diary of an anonymous teenage girl who died of a drug overdose in the late 1960s and is therefore presented as a testimony against drug use. Alice is not the protagonist's name; the actual diarist's name is never given in the book. A woman named Alice is mentioned briefly in one entry during the diarist's stay in Denver; she is a fellow addict the diarist meets on the street. Despite this, reviewers generally refer to the diarist as "Alice" for the sake of convenience[citation needed].

Alice is not the name of the real writer of this book. For it's millions of readers,the real name will never been known. Hence the author of this book is depicted as Anonymous,because it's not known either of who found the diary and actually published it. If you happen to find yourself picking up this delicate piece of work,you will also see that the real names of people and places have been changed to protect those who have had or had any ossociation with this girl.

I haven't really clue as to why I have been one to read this over and over. It's like reading the book or watching the movie called " The virgin suicides" or the book called" The lovely bones" by the author alice sebold. If you like suspense and drama and you want to know what happens next,and you can't either not read it,or cant stop reading it. That is me.
