Review Detail

Reader reviewed by selina c

I have never been more shocked or thrilled to read such a mind blowing story.  The two girl persona in Crank and the ride downhill from honor roll to being a teenage mother addicted to drugs makes you realize how far the fall really is.  Ellen Hopkins is a poetic genious, creating such a masterpiece of a story out of poems that are hard to swallow and unbelievably visual for words.  Crank really left a mark on me after i read it, but it was also inspiring and showed the raw truth of drug abuse and what it does to you, both physically and mentally.  A great read, but not recommended for those sensitive to certain materials.
