Many people discribe Go Ask Alice as an emotional, touching book that really hits close to home. While this may sound abrasive, I find that people who felt that way were captured by the typical "I feel sorry for people like that and I'm a humanitarian." The book was full of whining and unrealistic details. I say unrealistic because it has been revealed that Go Ask Alice is actually a book written by Beatrice Sparks. This book is for the reader intrested in something short but very deep. Everything is mostly straight forward but parts of the story can become very confusing. I did not like the book, but that doesn't mean I'm not a humanitarian.
