Honestly, this was so interesting. As someone who knows a lot about YA literature in general, I hadn't known most of the story behind this iconic book. A book I haven't actually read (but have been generally aware of it because it is quite an important piece of the history of YA lit in general). I think part of the reason I bascially devoured this book is due in part to the writing style. It was written in a way that was really easy to get into, and leaves off on sort of cliffhangers that make you want to keep reading.

It's interesting how these books fit culturally into the context of US histroy, especially the War on Drugs and the Satanic Panic. In fact, a lot of this book looks at history and how it effected teenagers, especially in relation to books like Go Ask Alice. It's all interesting to me, and even though this is nonfiction, I read it faster than I do for most nonfiction.
