Color me angry. I bought this book a year ago at Barnes & Noble from the YA section. Its description on the back of the book sounded interesting, if flamboyant: this is the journal of a boy who got in over his head with drugs and the occult before killing himself. All right, I'm interested.So today, 23 February 2014, I finally picked it up to read. I was moving along quite quickly, being that the journal format leaves a lot of white space on the pages. But I stopped at page 100, ready to putI liked this book a lot. It had a a lot of insight on Jay's life, while he experimented with witchcraft and drugs. Along with Go Ask Alice, it really shows how drugs and other influences can affect your mind and relationships. True story or not, I do think it was a great book overall and I am excited to read other books like this such as Lucy In The Sky. I recommend this book for all people who are curious to see the life of Jay, and hopefully everyone finishes the book with the realization of
I choose this book because a worker at Barnes and Noble suggested it to me when I asked for a good book. It is an anonymous journal written by a teenage genius who struggles with depression, drugs, and gets involved with witchcraft, which eventually leads him to kill himself. My favorite quote is at the very end when he says, "I don't want to be sad or lonely or depressed anymore, and I don't want to eat, drink, eliminate, breathe, talk, sleep, move, feel, or love anymore", because even though

Lemme just get one thing straight to some people out here. The main chracter, Jay, WAS NOT ADDICTED TO DRUGS.Sure he was a user during some moments of his life, but he was not addicted.SO I am going to talk about some things that happened, o occures, or came up, or annoyed me from this book. This is a lesson. Not a review, but a lesson.First thing to know. Do NOT immatate the rituals done in this book. If you do(and you're human) than you are just CRAZY. Completely insane. If you ever decide to
Utter trash. Beatrice Sparks took 10% of a journal and extrapolated the other 90% based on youth with similar stories. There's plenty of garbage religious propaganda, too. What a disgrace. Evidently, there is another book that tells a more accurate story of Alden, or the titular "Jay." And a rock opera. Look into those if you are interested, I suppose.
Though this was an interesting read, I found myself more often than not wishing that the book would hurry up and end. I guess this one just wasn't meant for me.
