Glass was like that for me at first. As I continued to read, I kept rolling my eyes at the main character Kristina as she continues to destroy her life. I despise her mother and step father for being in denial as long as they were. I do not care for her friends when they can just abandon her as quickly as change their shirt. What makes the story even more tragic is how she gives up her own baby for the meth. You would think that would motivate her to do better and be better. If anything, she uses the baby as an excuse. The meth helps her lose the baby fat because she does not eat, and it helps her escape the stress of being a mother. So why do I like this story so much if I find the characters so despicable? Well, first off it is a very compelling story. I am willing to admit that I started to feel sorry for Kristina as her world came crashing down. She lost ties with all her family because of her own choices but when I saw how it was affecting her I still hoped for something good to happen, but it never did. What really enthralls me is Hopkins' style. I love reading this story in prose. She even gets more creative in this one by meshing up her prose into different shapes reflecting the situation she is telling. These books are deceptively short yet a lot more happens than most stories. I would definitely recommend continuing this series if you enjoyed Crank. It is a terrifying yet awe-inspiring tale of what continues to happen with meth addicts and the continuing dangers of addiction. If Crank and Glass do not give you pause about drug use, nothing will. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I think yes *by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2016* I have had this book in my wish list for a while and on a whim I decided to get it. It did not disappoint. It continued the story started in Ellen Hopkins' Crank. I really enjoy her style of writing, not only form but shape as well. Just about every page has words in some wacky arrangement, and in some pages you will find a "hidden" passage. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, although I would advise you to read Crank first and keep Urban Dictionary handy if you are unfamiliar with terms related to drugs, specifically meth (I lived a very sheltered life so I was looking up words from the book quite frequently.)Conclusion: Loved the book, same style and characters from the first book, Crank, had to look up some words b/c I'm not familiar with slang words for drugs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing trilogy *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2021* Love this trilogy! I do wish they kept the original covers.. but I do understand how it could be a little controversial. I first read them when I was in high school, let someone borrow them and never returned. I have never been one that liked to read, but when I found this was written in poetry form, it caught my attention. Makes it easy to read but also makes you think.
