Publisher Description

At first she finds it freeing, but soon Kristina's personality disappears inside the drug. What began as a wild, ecstatic ride turns into a struggle through hell for her mind, her soul, and her life.

"At first glance, i didn't know what to expect from this book. I've seen many people reading this book, including my cousin. I remembered that she struggled with a drug problem, however I was too young to understand what drug this was referring to. So now, I decided to read it. After reading and enjoying every other book by Ellen Hopkins, I thought this one ought to be good as well. And I was right. This book is amazing! It gives you a whole new perspective on addiction and what it's like to be overwhelmed by the life style of drugs. After reading this book, I have compassion for those I know who have had this addiction and who are still struggling with it. Ellen Hopkins portrays this idea in such a deep way. It really helps us to connect with the character, and puts us on the edge of our seats ready to read the sequel...(which I am reading) I highly recommend this series, in fact any Ellen Hopkins book, is really worth the read. Her style of writing makes the stories all the more interesting. She's very poetic, yet very deep. Making it impossible to put the book down!"

" Inside the mind of a meth addict. What a scary, crazy and insightful ride. So sad people choose this way to live and the ramifications of that life on others. "

" Even though some parts were highly inappropriate, this is a really good book. "
— Micah, 2/6/2014 -
" I thought this was a really good read. A lot of it was depressing and fairly graphic/disturbing, but I loved that it was written as poetry and it was intriguing to me because it was based on a true story. It was kind of like watching a train wreck, but I just couldn't put the book down. "
— Patia, 1/24/2014 -

— Maria, 12/23/2013 -
" This book was very well written and never at a stand still. Always kept me guessing. It wasn't predictable at all. I gave it a four probably because I've read it many times but I was amazed the first time I read it. "
— Tristin, 12/21/2013 -
" An eye-opening view into the life of a teen addicted to drugs. I read this in 10th grade. A must read for highschoolers. I thought the format was pretty interesting as well. Simple and effective. "
— Brianne, 12/17/2013 -
" I loved this book because of how intense it was, and how unique. I think it's a great book for highschoolers, and definitely not for younger kids. "
— Abigail, 10/1/2013 -
" I think that Ellen Hopkins is one of the best authors that I am aware of, she uses her heart when she writes. She does not write about meaningless crap she writes about things that matter in life. Most authors that I know of can not write half as good as her. You HAVE to read all of her books! "
— Summer, 10/1/2013 -
" I really didn't like this book, i would get so frustrated with the character and how she acted. I know she was addicted to drugs but it was just weird wording and it was more like reading a strange poem than reading a book. "
— Elise, 8/18/2013 -
" I've read all the books from this author and I enjoyed them all! "

" Kristina is an average girl with a future ahead of her, until she becomes Bree. This story is written in a third person view narrating Bree and Kristina and the Monster that pulls Kristina slowly under. Fast paced, you'll wonder if you were on Crank yourself. "
— Laura, 5/21/2011 -
" I could NOT put this book down. I felt super addicted! "
— Kierstin, 5/20/2011 -
" It was great when I was young, but I don't really care for it. I have to give it a decent rating though, because I appreciate poetry published as a novel. "
— Leslie, 5/19/2011 -
" Interesting ride that Kristina has taken with the Monster.....how it changes her the people around her. I love these books. The poetry, double meaning in passages...amazing. "
— Ana, 5/18/2011 -
" Okay-this was a hard read. It was really well written, but on a very difficult topic thus making you want to hate parts of the world. Difficult reading material. "
