Reviews for Crank
crank review
Definately a good read!!!although at first i was disappointed by the inner stracture of the book, i mean the way sentenses are written not in the classic form of paragraphs but in shapes...but in the end i didnt mind as i was so into reading every word...narrates only the main points that the reader needs to know so its so easy to read as you dont get bored with big descriptions or details... by PAPADOPOULOU ELENI

Kristina is good, straight-A student until she goes to stay with her father, who she hasn't seen for a number of years. There, Kristina disappears with her alter-ego, Bree, taking her place. Bree's confident and out-going, doesn't think twice about talking to boys she doesn't know. It's one of these boys, Adam, who introduces her to the drug, crank.
It's Bree who returns home, although she tries to hide it from her mother and step-father. Before long Bree's running around with a couple of different boys, using crank on a regular basis and getting in all kinds of trouble.
Crank isn't an easy book to read, it doesn't hold back on any aspect of Bree's drug use. Written in verse, it delves deep into her emotions and it draws you right in. Bree might not be a loveable character but she's definitely an interesting one. Certainly not a book for younger kids but one that older teens are likely to relate to and it's definitely not going to have them wanting to run off and 'meet the monster' for themselves. by Tasha
