From The Review Pile (98)


From the Review Pile is a meme hosted by Stepping Out of the Page every Thursday.
The aim of this meme is to showcase books that you've received for review (or if you don't receive review books, any book that you own and really want to read/review) but haven't yet got around to reading, in order to give the book some extra publicity.

I know that a lot of you have a huge pile of books that you want to read/review, but it understandably takes a while to get around to reading them all - here you can give a book (or two!) some of the publicity that it deserves, even if you haven't read it yet!

-----------------------------------

This week, I'm going to showcase Go Ask Alice!
Go Ask Alice is a relatively 'old' book now, having been published for nearly 15 years, but it's one that still sounds very relevant. I have read that this is quite a controversial book but also one that is very popular, so it's something I would really like to read for myself. I love books which tackle difficult issues and this so this really appeals to me.


Go Ask Alice by Beatrice Sparks
Paperback, 213 pages
Published 1st January 2006 by Simon Pulse

It started when she was served a soft drink laced with LSD in a dangerous party game. Within months, she was hooked, trapped in a downward spiral that took her from her comfortable home and loving family to the mean streets of an unforgiving city. It was a journey that would rob her of her innocence, her youth -- and ultimately her life.

Read her diary.

Enter her world.

You will never forget her.

  1. I read this, as teen, in the 80s, and it was so disturbing. I was kind of sad to find out it was all lie though.

Unfortunately this is an award and tag free zone - Whilst I appreciate the thought, I simply don' have the time to pass them on.

Please feel free to leave a reply, I read and appreciate them all!
