I read the book, Go Ask Alice. The author was
anonymous. The main character was a girl, and her
name was not mentioned. It was written as a diary.
I thought that this book was very interesting
because it was true; it is based on an actual
diary of a fifteen-year-old drug user. In the
beginning, she has a break up with her boyfriend
and is anorexic. She eats very little. She
overcomes that obstacle though. The girl moves
because her father gets a job at a university as a

Review of HARDBALL (by Chris Matthews) Before I
started reading the book Hardball, by Chris
Matthews, I had a preconceived idea of what the
content of this book would be. From the title of
the book I drew the conclusion that Matthews would
write more about the darker side of politics and
how it is really played. I dont really know much
about politics, and frankly, I dont care much for
politics. However, when I hear the word hardball
in the context of politics, I think of blood shed.
