Crank by Ellen Hopkins

5.0

Kristina Wagner has always been the good girl, she got straight A's and always listened to her mother until she goes to visit the father that was absent for most of her life. She soon decides to leave Kristina behind and becomes Bree, the fearless, out going girl who tries the monster once, and will never put it down again...

The poetic style book is different that I'm used to so it kind of took a while to get used to it but once I did, I was hooked. Ellen Hopkins does an excellent job at describing the struggles of drug addiction, this book will seem so real that it will have YOU thinking your the one thats addicted. It will have you wanting the urge to try the monster, but towards the end you'll completely change your mind and decide you never should, you can almost feel what exactly Kristina is going through. I read this book before bed and it made me have a dream that I was addicted. Recommend it to anyone that loves a good read. Rating: 16 and over because of such graphic things that occur within the story.
