Glass
So i have started reading the second book after crank. Its called Glass. It is really good and disappointing after you start it. Its very interesting how quick you can get addicted to meth. For kristina it was like the first time she snorted her first line she was an addict of meth. There is a great person deep down in Bree named Kristina and you can tell she wants to come out and do the right thing but Bree is so much more powerful and controlling that she is. the second book you can really feel that she wants to come out n do the right thing. We can read what she is feeling and wants to do. When i first started reading Crank i honestly started to regret buying it and reading it. Only because how it is wrote in the form of poetry. But as i went on and kept reading i got into the book and didnt want to put it down for anything. Reading these books makes you think alot about what could happen to you even when you try a drug like meth, all it takes is one line or one shoot up and hit and you could be an addict just like that. Reading about something that is true life and what really happens when your on it and how you feel, all you can think is how do people like that make it through with every day life? Such with sleeping and being hungry. Bree cant control herself with crank and its sad that she just had a life changing thing happen to her and she stayed away from it for so long until she got that urge for it like she always did before. You may feel like you are not addicted because you havent dont it in so long until that day when you get the craving for it. Reading these books will make you realize so much and teaches you so much about life and what could happen to you if you make bad choices. these books are amazing!!

The High Road
So I have been reading Crank and the more i have been reading it the better I have been understanding about the whole alter-ego thing with kristina/bree. It was very confusing in the beginnging to understand the situation of it but as you read on you start to catch the drift of things and how everything is suppose to be. Basically kristina is a goody-goody who doesnt do anything wrong, wears sophisticated clothing, would never be rude, and definately not say some of the things that bree says to her parents. Bree is her alter ego that does what she wants. She took the high road into something that may be impossible to get out of. Bree makes all the choices and we just hope that kristina comes through and starts standing up to bree and learn how to take control again of her life. If you read ever think about reading it, its something (well this is what i feel) that you should be prepared for before reading. Its very detailed, i mean verrry detailed. It doesnt beat around the bush about what they are saying, the text gives you full on detail. It is also very sad. The part i read last week was actually sad and made me tear up a little (not going to lie). But it so real and you know ive never really had any information on "crank" the drug until i started reading this story and i never really knew what it was and how you did and the affects it has on you. Its crazy that anyone would want that for their life and especially when you take that high road its hard to get back down to the road you were on. So lets just pray kristina breaks out of the bree phase and back on the road of "life" again.

Crank
So i finished reading the other daughter. It took me a little bit to find the book i wanted to read next. I heard good things about crank and decided that i mine as well read it. So far its a really good book. I'm a little confused though about the whole alter ego Bree. Some things in the book i dont really understand. It's so cool to read because its based on a true story and the author writing the book her daughter went through the same thing and thats where she is basing her story called crank off of. It makes you think twice about decisions you make and what happens if you were ever to try the monster. The book opens your eyes and makes you so happy about the person you are and that you have never made that decision to jepordize you life. Its tear jerking reading the book. How everything happened and how it became the way it did is really sad. Their is also 2 other books that go along with crank that continue on with the story and i hope to read them if i enjoy this book.
