Thought it was a cool concept and there were some really stunning lines, while other poems lacked punch (though I couldn't write an entire novel in verse so I can hardly complain). Like Out of the Dust meets Go Ask Alice, but not as good or as moving as either. I probably won't read the rest of the ...
This was my first read by Ellen Hopkins and I'm a fan! My local library partnered with a local indie, Rainy Day Books to offer a copy of her newest novel Perfect so I signed up and in the meantime decided to give her first novel, Crank a try. I was skeptical due to the format - it is written in vers...
It's interesting, I read this book a year or two ago and didn't like it much then. I think it was mostly because I knew that it was based on the author's daughter. It felt strange to me to be reading her daughter's words in her mother's voice, and I couldn't stop wondering how she felt about it. And...

It reminded me of books like Go Ask Alice, in which you watch the main character go down a long road of self-destruction involving drugs...
Alright, so I started out this book saying "I don't like poetry - let alone free verse" (seriously, couldn't stand it in English class in school, ugh...just not my thing). But I really, really liked the concept of this book, and so I wanted to at least give it a try. When I saw the SIZE of the boo...
