Crank

*spoilers*


Kristina goes to visit her dad for the summer and things take a turn for the worst. She's a straight-A honor student who never breaks the rules until she meets Adam. Adam convinces her to try crank, or meth, and they soon start a relationship. Kristina becomes addicted to meth and even finds a dealer when she returns home to her mom. Her dealer rapes her and she becomes pregnant, all while still addicted to meth. She goes though drug-withdrawal and eventually tells her mom and stepdad about her pregnancy and gives birth to a son. The narrative implies that she is still doing drugs.

The way it is written is very well-done. I know that I wouldn't have been able to write a whole book in poetry form. However, I really didn't enjoy the subject matter. It made me uncomfortable and I just didn't like it. But I'm aware of how popular the book is and still recommend it to teens looking for something "different" or "dark". They love it.

I love books written in poems.
They are easy to read because each poems feels like a new chapter. You can just speed through it. I couldn't put it down.

I have a thing for books about teens with drug problems. I don't know what it is about them that draws me to them so much. I loved this book.

Although I do just want to punch her in the face half the time. Stupid Kristina.

I absolutely loved this book. The ending made me quite upset though!

I was shaking when I finished the book. And deeply depressed for another week after

I liked this book and have nothing to say but good things.
