I've never understood people who choose to even try drugs nonetheless continue to go back to them. Insight is one thing I was hoping to attain from Crank, however, I was left still with muddled understanding. The main character, Kristina, is supposed to be smart and "good" and ends up getting in wit...
I have to admit that I am a bit put off by books written in verse, but this book had so many awesome reviews that I needed to see what it was all about. I never was much into poetry, so for a book to be written in the form of poems is quite intimidating to me. Fortunately listening to it in audioboo...
This is one book i hate to love. It's totally mind numbing how drugs can strip away the life of a person. Like a butcher's knife-slowly but surely whittling away their happiness. Oh and Ellen Hopkins is every optimist's nightmare

Am I the only one who was driven batshit crazy by the way Ellen Hopkins writes, the way the pages were set up...? I tried, I really did, but I couldn't get used to it.
I checked this out several years ago. Excited because I had heard good things about it. But apparently nobody thought to mention the format. I opened it up, saw that it was in verse, and immediately threw it back in the return pile. I like novels, and I like poetry. But unless your an ancient G...
