i read "go ask alice" before and was considering reading cut, but didn't. i like reading books in the form of diaries, it's an interesting point of view. and i get what you mean by the common problems. there was this other book i read about teens drinking. it's a very typical topic, teens & all those problems, but i like reading books about them too.

moved to interests -> books forum

This is rather old but I was just about to do a thread on this =D lol This book is such an insparational book =D I read the boook cut and crosses too

I have the book Go Ask Alice, but I've yet to read it since I'm working on finishing with two other books. But I will.

I was going to read 'Go Ask Alice' but a friend borrowed it and things got mixed up and now it is lost. =\ Those books are usually pretty okay, though I really didn't like 'The perks of being a wallflower' I don't understand why everyone loves that book so much, I mean it is sort of..unoriginal.

So, wait. You think that "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" is unoriginal, but that teen drug use is indeed original? Tell me I'm reading this wrong.

heres a friendly note o all of you who are so captivated by Go Ask Alice....ITS FAKE!!!!!! the authour one beatrice sparks even admits that this book is mot based on anyone particular. shes also the authour if JAYS JOURNOL which has been proved to be a complete fake.The real story is about a boy named Alden Barrett, who did committ sucide but never led a life like the one portrayed by this so called author.so see for yourself. do your own research just know that your true stories are made up and have split apart the members of the families that they really are about.SPARKS IS A FAKE AND SO ARE HER BOOKS.

i have read go ask alice

i have never read go ask alice..but i've seen the book before...i was planning to read it..but never got the chance..and actually i forgot about the book 'till this topic/forum

I didn't bother reading the rest of the topic, but who's the author for Cut?

I read Go Ask Alice. I liked it but I couldn't stand to read it because of her destructive behavior throughout the entire book. It was good though 2 thumbs up.

I read Go Ask Alice, it was pretty... tragic? I don't know any other adjective to describe it. Thinking of it as fake and fictional kinda ruins it though.

if books like that interest you... go read

"The White Horse"
"Smack"

umm... "I was a Teenage Fairy" isn't really about drugs or alcohol, but it borderlines on sexual harrassment ... It's by Francesca Lia Block and is incredible if you like her style.

there. semi-angsty-and-tragic books for you to read.

I have Cut and I've read Go Ask Alice. They were both really good. I really like the girl's nickname in Cut, and the ending of Go Ask Alice made me sad.

yes i read both of them
very moving

i have one similar [?] its called "Life in the Fat Lane"

K, Acid Bath Slayer, to be quite honest you are making me quite angry. I'm not trying to start anything, but honestly. Ok, so the point of forums is to discuss general interests and things like that. and basically you are telling anyone who likes 'go ask alice' that they are wrong to like it. you go on basically trying to prove that you are right, and everyone else is wrong. you know what, people are allowed to think what they want to think, and just because you tell them something that you think is a fact does not mean that they will change their minds, and it definately does not mean that you are right. All it means is that you read something once, and now are repeating it. Personally I really like the book 'go ask alice'. i just finished it like an hour ago, and i came on the internet trying to find out more information on the story behind it. I don't believe the crap you are saying about the editor making it up, and whatever. I think it's a true story, and i think it's very sad. and for you to say that you hate it, is rediculously rude. so you hate a dead girl. that's really mature. I hope your additude changes because having that 'i know everything' additude will not get you very far in life. don't bother posting back because i don't plan on coming back to this site again, i just thought i would tell you my thoughts on your rediculous posts. i hope everyone has a good day.

You're professional.

The books were both alright...I liked Go Ask Alice more than Cut, but Go Ask Alice didn't really feel like a totally real diary to me.

if you have.
tell me what you liked about it.
and stuff.
you know. =]

thankkkss <3

nope, sorry =/
but my friend read it, and she told me that it was good.

Yeah, I own the book. I like how the girl's nickname is still Silent Treatment even after she starts talking again. I don't remember a lot else that I liked when I first read it, sorry. ><

I read it a couple years ago. I don't remember it now...
Was this the book where she carved FTW into her hip or something?

Its a pretty good book.
I read a piece from it for a speech.

I've always wanted to read it..but other books would get in the way..
perhaps next time I will read it

I didn't like Cut. Umm.

Old thread about the same thing.

I have.
I like it :]

I read it in like sixth grade.
I liked it.

i bought it and lost it >_<" it kinda weird that its only 3 chapters

I just read cut it was good but i liked go ask alice better.

I read Go Ask Alice and I liked it... up till the ending. I just didn't like the way it ended. It seemed like everything was going good for Alice and then the next thing I know, I'm reading the epilogue, and everything just ends at that. I hate cliffhangers.

my friend just finished reading go ask alice and she said it was good.
and my other friend read cut during the beginning of the school year. personally, i dont like to read these kind of books. maybe go ask alice, but not cut.

these are my favorite kinds of books

go ask alice,
cut,
crank,
burned,
beauty queen.

ellen hopkins id say is one of my favorite authors
she wrote crank, burned, impulse, and glass (i havent read the last 2 but i plan to as soon asi get the books)

ah haha idk what to say
i love these kinds of books though
ive read so many books i cant even remember them all

and i have a whole list of books i am trying to get so i can read

idk i guess i like reading about peoples messed up lives\






i read it
and idk like,
i feel like youre completely against this book for no reason
i liked go ask alice, just because it was a good book to read
i dont really care if it was true or not.


but, i do have to say i have a book on my list to read by beatrice sparks called it happened to nancy - and you make me not even want to read it.




also,
any book that was said on this thread that is good
ill probably end up reading lol

Cut is such an emo book. I swear... Go Ask Alice makes me laugh. To be so high yet remember so many details and place it on a journal. Don't make me laugh again.

I personally don't like these types of books. No they're not too hard core for me. I find them boring and tedious. You can read way better stories of people with messed up lives.

Read Naked Lunch :D
