In Crank raw pain, a deepening addiction, and a crumbling family come together to tell a real, powerful story. I remember when I was younger that quite a few people around me read this book though I never bothered to try. I finally the other day opened it up and was entranced by the poetic nature of Ellen Hopkin’s words.
I rushed through the book enjoying every page of it. It was interesting how poems could tell such a harrowing, intense tale. I did quite enjoy Crank and I think I’ll find time soon to read Glass and continue Kristina’s tale.
And to end, because I don’t want to give anything away in this beautiful masterpiece, two quotes I loved:
What made me despise the girl in the mirror enough to transform her, turn her into a stranger, only not.
You share a toast with me: here's to seasonal madness, to part-time relatives and substitutes for love.
