Book Reviews of Crank
Book Review: Awesome Poetic-Looking Book!
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this book a lot. I saw this in the library and I was interested at how different in structure sense it was, since it was all in poetry. It really touches me deep.. and breaks my heart reading it.
I'm gonna buy it soon, too. I will want you to, if you like this kinda stuff.
Book Review: Bree vs. Kristina
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. I really don't know what to write about this book. That's how good it is. I'm afraid I'll turn you away from one of the best books I've read in a very long time. Crank is so real, yet intense, that I loved it until the very last page.
Anyway, this book is about a girl, Kristina (or Bree because of the 'monster'), and her spending time at her long-lost dad, which changed her life forever. First, she meets the perfect guy at her dad's job at a bowling place. Yeah, he's perfect except for the whole drug thing. Then, of course, she must leave her father's and her source of 'crank', Buddy, the love of her life. When she gets home she finds new sources for the 'monster'. She gets it from a bad boy, Chase, and a perfect-jock-type-guy, Brendon. For the next couple of months a lot of stuff happens, but I won't tell you that because that would be mean and tell you the whole story line. I well say that she does some crazy stuff when high on the 'monster', and I am sorry for everyone that has made this decision in his or her life, and then have to go though what this character had to go through.
Overall, I loved this book. I'm really sorry if I turned you away from this book because I didn't mean to. I loved this book, and it has deep meaning to me. Crank is a monster and I hope this story tells you to never do it, ever. Or this could situation happen to you.
Book Review: Brought Me Back To Life
Summary: 5 Stars
Dealing with a Dad who used Crank I felt impowered after reading this book to forgive him of all he did to my mother and I. This book was very well written. I think when you looked at the format and your like "Ahh it looks like poety" but trust me its not what you think it only looks that way. My 9 year old brother can read and understand it.Book Review: CRANK IS AS ADDICTING AS THE DRUG ITS ABOUT! BEST BOOK EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
Crank is loosely based off the life of ellen hopkin's (the author) daughter and her life ride with the monster. this monster is no giant green reature, no it is worst. this monster is crank this monster is crytal meth.
Kristina Snow is a mother's dream, a honor student and a role model. She never gets in trouble and is a very nice person. But soon that dream turn into a nightmare when Kristina meets the monster and turns into her extreme alter ego Bree. To her family she is a different kristina but to the monster she is Bree, the outgoing trouble maker that ill do anything to get closer to the monster. Through this book and its sequel Glass, you follow the excruciating journey of a girl greatly affected by crank and her desparete fight to get her life back again.
I personally love this book. crank is defiantly one of my favorite books and will alway be. I would recommend this book to anyone mature enought to handle its content. This book is for guys along with girls. Everyone can relate to this book in one way or another. the best thing about this book is that it hides nothing and it never tries to beauty anything up. it is the truth form start to finish no matter how gruesome that truth is. This book and its sequel are writin in verse. thought verse is just another way to write it really help you connect to the character so much moire the form and shapes the words from lets you know exactly how kristina is feeling without telling you. you can tell if shes angry, happy, high, or distraught. Crank doesnt necissarly have a happy ending but it leaves you with a feeling begging for more. crank is as addicing as the drug is based on. I never wanted to put this book down. i ill read it over and over again!
"Life was good before i met the monster after, life was great at least for a little while"
