Summary: 4 Stars
Crank is about a girl named Kristina, she is a very shy person. Over the summer she decides to go visit her dad which makes her mom uncomfortable. Kristina is pretty much a perfect daughter, but her dad is an alcoholic that is known to do some hard drugs. While Kristina is visiting her dad she meets a gorgeous guy who she introduces herself as Bree to. Kristina does not like herself too much so she is shocked when he takes an interest in her. It turns out he is a drug dealer, but she falls in love with him anyways. He shows her new things and she gets addicting to crank. Summer comes to an end, but being at her dad's brought out a side of her that she continues to call Bree. She doesn't want to leave the boy but they agree to write. Once she comes back she can't stop thinking about the monster. Kristina/Bree ditches her old friends to find new ones that can satisfy the monster. By the time her mom notices she has a serious problem, it is too late. Kristina will do anything to get some including losing her virginity. Which towards the end proves to be a poor decision on her part.
Crank is a very good book. It is an easy read that opens your eyes about drugs. This book makes you feel several different emotions, and lets you know what Kristina is thinking the whole time. Ellen Hopkins has a very unique style. The book is written in poems which add to the overall novel. But you forget you are reading poems and you will not want to put the book down. Something else that makes the book more interesting is that Hopkins states that the story is loosely based on her daughter's journey with the monster.

I bought this book for my daughter. The day it arrived she started reading it and did not want to put it down which is unusual. She read the boo in 24 hours and was ready for the next book. I would recommend the book to anyone. The book arrived very quickly.Book Review: Crank

I love this book!!!! The way it is written makes it very easy to read. Although it may get confusing at time the book completly captures what it is like to be in a world filled with drugs. This book showed me in so many ways what it is like and how it can ruin your life. Other than that this book is amazing and undescribable. You have to read it yourself and you will not regret it.Book Review: Crank

This book wasn't really at all what I expected, it was one of the best books I read in along time. I love the way it was wrote in free verse poetry, making it more interesting and more intense. I reccommend this book to any young adult/teenager, I've had friends in this position and all it does it changes the person you used to know and be. Wonderful book, heartbreaking. I started reading it around 10pm and didn't stop until I finished around 3am.
