The book Go Ask Alice is a diary and the genre belongs to drama. The theme in the book is most off all drugs and how badly it affects your whole life, but it’s also about love. The drug user in the book is in love with someone who doesn’t know about her past as a junkie, but when she tells him, he doesn’t care at all about her past – he loves her exactly the way she is.

I believe that the message in this story is that drugs ruin your life. It’s hard to stop and you will never get rid of the urge to start again. You can have the most wonderful life, but still you will feel the urge. Alice did really well, but she died of an overdose as well. I think they made a book out of her diary to warn us about how bad it really is. You will never be the same again if you do drugs.

The point of view in the story is 1st. person. The story is told through the voice of the main character, Alice, which is the writer of the diary. This affects the story with that it gets more real, we get follow her life up close in her most dramatic period.
