Crank


Crank is about a girl named Kristina Georgia Snow also known as Bree when she finds the monster, crank. Kristina was a normal, average teenager before she met the monster. When she meets a guy named Adam a.k.a. Buddy on a visit to her Dad in Albuquerque, her life is turned around. Adam introduced her to crystal meth and she gets hooked. When Kristina finds the monster, her alter-ego Bree takes control. She learns that it's not fun and games anymore when she runs into addiction. In her struggle she also runs into rape and pregnancy. Also the hard decision to keep her child or not. She realizes the monster will forever speak to her and it's more than a drug, it's a way of life. When you walk with the monster you can turn your back, but never really walk away. I thought this was a really good book and I really like this author.

Great post Bosco. It is really sad how drugs can totally change your life.

I don't think I can bring myself to read this book. Crank is just too nasty-
