Crank 11/3/2010

I have just finished the book Crank and i loved it! It was very hard to put down and after you got the reading of the book it went pretty fast. In the book there is a girl who starts to snort crank in her very early years of high school, she then gets addicted to the drug and it takes over her entire life. She gives up old friends, family and even worse she stops caring about school and skipping classes. The part in the book that really makes you realize how desperate people really get on drugs is her indecent with Brenden and how she let him take advantage of her just to get her supply of drugs that he shorted. I think this book was even more interesting that this was based on a true story and the mother was the author of the book. That sets in a little more I think because you know this does actually happen in real life. I liked this book also because it reminds me of my little sisters situation. She was adopted by us because her mom was to into drugs to take care of her. My stepdad which is actually her uncle adopted her when she was 18 months old. The day we got her she was dying from a serious disease called R.S.V. and her mom only though she had a minor cold. The day we got her we had to rush her to the ER and they told us that if we would have waited 4 hours longer she would have died in her sleep. So this book was one of my favorites because it hit home with me. I am so excited to read the seaqual.
