It was a really interesting book. It really opened my mind to the weird, messed up world of witch craft. It was messed up and weird, but still good
This book just is not my favorite. The way that "Jay" wrote it is so hard to read. I had such a hard time and it just made me annoyed to read it.
I remember reading Go Ask Alice as a kid and I was terrified and scared to ever do drugs. As a chemical dependency counselor now, I wanted to see if these books still had their impact and value. While the story is sad, it's not really about drugs and I found it hard to read. Also I feel like I don't know if this could have really happened? Yes, it was somewhat interesting but as an adult, I don't think it would be beneficial for a teen to read.
Hhhhh
He was just dumb af honestly
How can anyone mistake good witchcraft with shit goin on in here?
This seems more like a book to scare kids to be Christian or something which is frustrating.
You can be christian if ya want but we witches arent all like represented here
Jay and his friends had absolutely no common sense
His girlfirends were obviously both using him.
The rituals done here were almost all obviously evil, maybe not all satanism but still evil
The book was a quick, dreadful read although i do love the other anonymous books.

This book was much better than Go Ask Alice, and this one is an actual journal and not a work of fiction. Inside of every fiction novel there is a disclaimer saying that it is a work of fiction (this disclaimer was in Go Ask Alice, even though it claims that it is a real diary) however, this disclaimer was not in this one. I found Jay's journal really different than anything that I've ever read before, as I have never read anything about the occult. It was really freaky sometimes and really scary that I took a break from reading it. I can't even imagine going through everything he went through, because it was seriously fucked up!! This book shows another side of teen troubles, and showing that teenagers are so vulnerable no matter who they are, and they can always be influenced by anything.

Jay was 16 1/2 when he took his own life with a bullet to the right temple. His journal was given to Dr. Beatrice Sparks by his mother in hopes to raise awareness for other teenagers dealing with depression. In this journal, Jay talks about becoming involved in drugs and the occult, a Satan worshipping group.
The journal is said to be the true diary of this boy although after reading a few other reviews on this website it turns out that this is not the case. It is the journal of a boy named Alden Barrett who Dr. Sparks changed many of the entries and added in some of her own. I thought it was extremely slow and not exciting in anyway. I also feel incredibly sad for the Barrett family who's life was pretty much dishevelled because of this "Doctor".
