Fake.

How many of you actually knew it was fake when you read the book or watched the movie? I don't think it's right that it is being advertised as a true life diary. I've read fictional diaries before about drugs and what not, so why couldn't they've just written that across the cover. I don't think the book would be as popular, but I'd still like to know .... maybe just put it in the epilogue or something.

Its better to be fail in originality, then to succeed in imitation.

I think it's worse that the one who wrote is a Mormon and probably hasn't dealt with anything or most things that she wrote about.

I remember reading it when I was a kid and I thought it was pretty creepy and I actually believed it to be a true story. But now I find it kinda stupid and improbable that a junkie would actually have the desire or motivation or train of thought to keep a diary at all.

White Rabbit is about Alice in Wonderland.
