I did not like the main character, and so, hard a really hard time with the book. It's not an easy topic, for sure. I also think I had a hard time being that close in the MC's head that I was uncomfortable the entire time. (And it's not that I think books should be fluffy easy, but this was discomfort like I wanted to throw up the whole time.) ( )

The story of Kristina’s walk with “the Monster,” aka Methamphetamine, continues in this sequel to Crank. The style is the same, all stream-of-conciousness, few words on each page, really evoking the feeling of being high and out-of-it. Kristina’s consequences increase as she pretty much abandons her son to her mother’s care and goes off in search of more and more meth. The easy style will appeal to the young reader, and impart a cautionary tale that is important for young people to read. ( )

Kristina Snow made some major mistakes in the summer prior to her senior year and those mistakes continue to haunt her every day.

This follow up is no prettier than its predecessor. It's filled with all the damaging effects that drugs can have on someone's life and how it affects those around them. It was very repetitive, and there were no redeeming qualities to be found, but I was still drawn into the story. I know that Crank (#1) was based on the author's daughter, so I'm assuming this is a continuation of the same. With that always in the back of my mind, I found the story to be captivating. The conclusion to this series titled Fallout will be published in September, 2010. I'm looking forward to it.

Book description
Publisher Comments:
Crank. Glass. Ice. Crystal. Whatever you call it, it's all the same: a monster. And once it's got hold of you, this monster will never let you go.

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.
