In Crank, Kristina Snow is a good student and a good daughter... until she’s introduced to crystal meth (a.k.a. crank). The drug transforms her into her alter-ego Bree, who pulls her deeper into a dangerous addiction. Eventually Kristina is raped by her drug dealer, but even violence and her pregnancy can't stop her from seeking out another high. A page-turner in every sense of the phrase, an Amazon customer noted, "I started reading it and found myself sucked into the story to the point where I could not put this book down," while another adds that "the sparse poetry conveys the power of the addiction so much more intensely than prose ever could." As the reader follows Kristina/Bree's drug-influenced choices, we enter what Publishers Weekly calls, "a world nearly as consuming and disturbing as the titular drug." A Go Ask Alice for the 21st century, Booklist promises that "readers won’t soon forget smart, sardonic Kristina."
