Book Review On Crank

With one trip to her dad's house, Kristina loses her innocence, her sobriety, her sense of reality, and much more. Going to visit her dad changed Kristina's life completely. Because of a hidden dark side, called Bree, and a little help from her dad and a neighbor, Kristina plunges into a world of drugs. Ellen Hopkins' Crank pulls the reader into Kristina's plunging life.

First of all, the theme of the book is great. The book teaches the reader how even the best of us can make mistakes. Sometimes these mistakes are major and life changing. Crank also gives the reader hope. This book is exciting and touching.

Also, the style of the book made the story flow. The style of the book is fairly poetic. That style helps to break the story into parts and keep the reader interested. I enjoyed reading Crank because of the style of writing.

Lastly, the plot made Crank a great read. Reading about how a girl's life can plunge so dramatically, so quickly, was intriguing. I wanted to reach out to Kristina. I was into the book the whole way through. I couldn't imagine what could happen next and regularly found myself holding my breath in anticipation.

Crank is a book that grabs the reader from the beginning and holds on until the end. Once you pick up this book, you won't want to put it down until you're finished. This was a fantastic book.
