go ask alice (the book)
on the front it said that it was a REAL diary. and that its a real story, and it really belonged to a young girl on drugs in the 70s.
but as i was reading it, i noticed that its written more like a book, and doesnt necessarily look like it was written by a 15 year old girl on drugs.
does anyone know whether or not its a real diary? because this story tears me apart and i really would like to know if its real. thanks!

I have to agree that while it may not be a true
autobiography it is still a good read. I read
it back when it first came out and loved it.
I'd always assumed it was a true story. After
reading the wiki article on it, I doubt too
that it is true. As they say, it comes off
to much like anti-drug propaganda and lacks
the gossipy, girl like talk a real teen
would put in her diary. Doesn't make it a
bad book.
Good question! :)

Go Ask Alice, is not a real diary. In fact the "publisher",Beatrice Sparks, has apparently written many books like this one about ananomus teens and bad choices particularly written in diary format. And although she has stated that she has been the author of these particular novels, she turned away from claiming ownership to Alice. Rumor has it that she approched it this way because there is apperently more than one author.
Either way, whether it is fiction or non-fiction, the story is a classic. It had me almost crying from cover to cover, and I hope you continue reading it and enjoy every word!

I honestly am not sure, but I love that book so I stared seaching yahoo and google and every website that I've opened said that it wasn't really a diary. But it was mostly just people who were saying what they tought, I think.
Well if you havn't finished it yet, you might want to go buy some tissues, it's not getting any brighter. :( Enjoy the book reguardless if it's real or not, I know I did. I hope you find out for sure.
