Ok, I'm going to say this really slowly for you.

There. Is. No. 'Real'. Alice.

If she existed, they would have found her by now. The diary is complete bullshit anyway from start to finish.

__________________

I remember hearing "Alice" or the Diarist was (loosely) based on some girl who Sparks met in a hosptial or something and actually died in a car accident rather than an LSD/Cannabis overdose.

I remember reading this and feeling shamed or cheated. However, I probably would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't known that it was fabricated, blah blah.

It was rather entertaining though.

YOU. DON'T. KNOW. THAT. FOR. A. FACT. There may very well be an 'Alice', haven't I said something about the book 'Jay's Journal' and there actually was a kid named Alden Barrett, and he was REAL! It was written a few years after Go Ask Alice. Don't force your opinion on me, I have the right to my own opinion thank you very much.

Go ask alice is not a real true story. It was fake, It's basically a scare technique. The girl was not a real person, it was just a story.

People can have their little dreams, alice is not real hahahaha. Smash your dreams in life with a hammer of fate. HAHA no seriously, she isn't real. A guy on like 20/20 talked about that shit among other books that are fake scare tacticks. He even laugehd

There is no "cannabis overdose". That right there tells you that it was obviously fake. Its a fact that you can not overdose or become physically addicted to marijuana at any time. Fuck that.

Second, if you have aunts or uncles that grew up in the Late 60's and 70's then you would totally understand all the LSD involvments used in this book. Even I had an aunt who wigged out on acid and had to go to the hospital because they slipped it to her at a party. Thats just how shit was then. Of corse people don't want things to be like that now. Scare tactic, step inside the dark world of teenagers and drugs. The fucking beatles is even mentioned in this book, doesn't that look a little suspecious, typical hippie dream shit man.

They made a move of it? Shit, I gotta youtube that.
But yeah, I agree on the aspect that every 12-15 year old reads Go Ask Alice. I did. It's a good read, but I think some people make too big a deal out of it because of the drug references. Well, maybe thats just my experience with it. This girl I knew (in her 20's mind you.) prided herself on reading it. She wasn't a big reader, but this was literally the only book she owned in her house.

I read it when I was 13 and remember feeling closer to my mom when she noticed me reading it and told me she had read it when she was my age.

Alice is not real. >_>

I would have paid good money to hear William Shatner do a remake of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit".

awwww, me too! actually i needed a book for a reading assignment in grade 7 and my mom recommended this one to me. she had it in a box, and told me she read it when she was about my age. i think the fact that it was tattered and torn and smelled like 1972 had a profound effect on the 'realness' of it for me. i thought it was real until i bought it for a 'troubled' friend at 15 and she laughed at me telling me it was fake. lol! scarred for life on that one!

aw I loved this book.

It's too dramatic to be real I realised that long ago.

I think I figured it was unlikely to be real when it got to the bit where these journals were "gathered from notes written on scraps of paper"... it just seemed a bit... suspect.

I'm bummed that it was all fake. But I still have that movie and I'll always cherish it just the same. Oh yes I will.
