Publisher's summary

Jay was a sweet, bright high school student who cared about his grades and his friends. He had ambitions. He was happy. And he thought he could handle anything.

He was wrong.

When Jay falls in with a crowd that's dabbling in drugs and the occult, he finds himself in over his head and doing things he never thought possible. Fascinated by the dark arts and in love with a dangerous girl, Jay falls deeper and deeper into a life he no longer recognizes...and sees no way out.

Interesting insight

Great insight to the teenage mind at this time. However, it was a letdown versus work this year, but for anybody that is interested in reading Uncovering Alice, I suggest the quick read.

The most emotional book I’ve ever heard.

This is one of the most intimate books I’ve ever heard. Wether it’s because of its diary origins or something else I truly don’t know. Regardless is is a tear jerker of a book and truly shows a fair representation of a young mans love, bordering on obsession, for a woman. I truly think all people of all ages should ready and try to truly put themselves into the story of a young man who’s inability to cope with his pain led him to taking his own life.

Disappointed

I read this after a tik tok recommendation. I will never get those hours of my life back. Maybe I just don’t find the occult scary, but I found the book to be very bland. I would rate this similarly to the 50 shades trilogy. The narrator carried hard.

Religious propaganda

This book was written in the 70s to deter youth from involvement with the occult. Seems extremely fictitious and not a “journal”

Narrator was goood

Not a Real Story!

Jay’s journal is loosely (and I mean LOOSELY) based off of a real diary. The real diary held no elements of the occult or satanism, just depression and substance abuse. The supposed doctor who rewrote this diary desecrated this young man’s legacy, devastated his family, and has lied to her audience. The only reason why I rated the performance high is because Ocampo did a good job narrating this drivel (it’s not his fault the material sucks).
