Glass Review
Kristina thinks she can control it. Now with a baby to care for, she's determined to be the one deciding when and how much, the one calling the shots. But the monster is too strong, and before she knows it, Kristina is back in its grips. She needs the monster to keep going, to face the pressures of day-to-day life. She needs it to feel alive. Once again the monster takes over Kristina's life and she will do anything for it, including giving up the one person who gives her the unconditional love she craves -- her baby. The sequel to Crank, this is the continuing story of Kristina and her descent back to hell. Told in verse, it's a harrowing and disturbing look at addiction and the damage that it inflicts. User Submitted Glass ReviewsNovember 18, 2008 Glass - Book Review I haven't read the book it was for my daughter who just raved about it October 25, 2008 Emotionally Touching The sequel to the popular novel "Crank" definetly strikes your heart. I found myself constantly doing things that books normally do not make me do. For instance I found myself yelling at the characters and raging on about what was and wasn't fair. The characters hit me with full force and now I'm more attached to them than ever. All though "Glass" can be quite depressing it truly unleashes the truth about the drug meth or as Kristina/Bree calls it - the monster. This monster comes in different forms but the outcome is always the same - it will ruin you. Something to note is that all of Ellen Hopkin's novels are written in poetry format. I was very surprised after reading her first book at how talented she is. The format is original and even though there aren't as many words as a normal book, it still puts a lot of things into those few words. Kristina used to be a good girl - used to have real friends - until she met the monster. In this second book crank/glass/the monster has officially taken over her life. While trying to raise her baby boy, Hunter while dealing with her deadly drug addiction, life is rough as ever. Soon even a loving family and friends becomes scarce. But of course do you really need a friend while you're having such a blast with glass? Bree says no but Kristina says yes. Bree is the part of Kristina that's wild, wreckless, and not well. Kristina is the side that is good, has common sense, wants to stop. Will this girl do what's right or will her bad decisions lead her into even more trouble? September 30, 2008 Great I ordered this for my granddaughter and she loved it. It's the 2nd book she's read by this author and eventually wants to read them all. June 30, 2008 LOVE IT I know at first the writing style of the text in the book may throw some people off... but it is what gives the story the actual feel of being there and exploring the crazy chaotic world of meth... great book, wish it was a bit longer, i read it in 6hrs May 21, 2008 It is AMAZING!!!!! If you read Crank. The first of this two book series or any other of this authors book. You know how amazing she is. This is just another amazing book to add to this wonderful authors collection. May 20, 2008 Excellent Yet another excellent book that makes me hate and love Ellen Hopkins. The continuation of Crank which tells the story of a young woman with a baby and her continued fight with her drug addiction with another unexpected and unhappy ending. April 16, 2008 great learning and reading this book has taught me a lot of things that will keep me away from this drug and how it can effect people life. Its more life learning and shows tough love. I known people that do durgs and reading this book it remindes me that, we need to help people that do this. Living life like that it really hard and this book shows ratltie. there is nothing fake about this book! April 5, 2008 Glass I loved this book , a very good sequel to Crank. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. April 1, 2008 Amazing This book was absolutely amazing. I loved how it completed Crank. I bought Crank and Glass, and I loved them both so much, I bought Burned and Impulse too. Ellen Hopkins is an amazing writer, and I'll recommend her to anyone! March 3, 2008 Eye Opener I read this because my best friend told me I should. . . . . . .So I did! It was amazing, following Crank, it really opened my eyes to what my friend went through when he was going through a not so good time in his life. This book is a great read even if you don't know anyone who was involved with drugs. The author has a strange way of writing, but I thought it was unique. I was excited to read along with the main character as she went through her problems at home. For more Glass reviews click here.
