Crank

I am currently reading the book Crank by Ellen Hopkins and I am loving this book so far. It is about a girl who get addicted to Meth and starts to lose everything. She gets introduced to "crank" when she goes to visit her dad that she hasn't seen in years, there she is introduced to crank and also falls in love in a weird relationship for the first time. She changes majorly in the book as if anyone would being addicted to meth or crank. In the beginning she is a well behaved girl who has good grades and hangs around the right crowd of people. That is before she goes to her dads for a couple weeks and learns how to snort it with her new love and also in the end with her dad. She then begins to have two personalities. I think like her everyone has the good voice in there head and then the voice that makes you do dumb stuff. She goes back home and family notices she had changed and somthing was different. She doesn't care about school, old friends, or her family she just cares about getting high and where she is going to get her next eight ball from. I haven't finished the book quite yet but i am asuming that it doesn'
t get any better in that addicts usually don' without rehab.

  1. The change in her character is one of the most dramatic that I've read about. She obviously had tendencies toward addiction her whole life. I hated her dad and his part in her downfall.
