Was it to:

The book "Go Ask Alice" was not meant to be a book at first. The diary of a young teenage girl was published by her parents, once the young girl had passed away from a drug overdoes. To me this book was published by the girls parents to inform other teenagers about choices they might come to make and how some choices like their daughters, can take your life. Two examples that support why I believe the book was to inform are that one talks how she felt after she took these drugs and how she wouldn't know what she was doing. Another reason is how once you start reading this book you first start to read all of alices problems, how she was rejected about a guy she liked and how she was going through changes and wasn't all that happy. These problems are problems that every teen might deal with, the feeling of rejection, how this one girl dealed with these problems with drugs and how it wasn't the best choice and only way to deal with her problems.

  Once reading Susan Beth Pfeffer book "Life As We Knew It", I found it a book that everyone should pick up and read.The book was action packed and kept you wondering what disaster would come next. It was a easy read and the chapters were short so the book didn't drag on. I am not the person to read or even be interested in a book such as this one, if had only looked at the inside cover. This book made you start to really feel what the characters were dealing with. It gave details. 

  One point in the book that really caught my eye was when Miranda had said" I've resolved to take a moment every day for the rest of my life to appreciate what i have"(page 294). After reading that it stood out to me because made me think how at times takes a terrible event to really enjoy everyday your alive.

  I can understand why some may not favor this book. Some may not see the events as action packed and may say that this book keeps replaying the same situation, how the family is stuck in the house. Yet, all these disasters i see are the action part of the book also, the family being stuck in the house does not always occur, but yet is the main setting.

  So in the end this book is one people should pick up and read. It is action packed and is easy to follow and know what is going on.
