The book Crank is entertaining. It tells so much about the character Kristina and her transformation from Kristina to Bree. In the book, the inner thoughts of Kristina's perspective and Bree's perspective is heard. So far in the book, Kristina came back home to her mother's house and leaves Adam behind. Throughout the way, Adam send letters to her explaining how life is going on and everything. Later on, she meets these two boys named Brendon and Chase. She gets into a relationship between these two people. She tries to see who she favors more. But, she gets guided into the wrong direction. On one of the pages, she started cursing with her mother. This is very strange coming from Kristina. Now, she starts using "crank" more often. Bree is literary killing herself with this monster. One thing, she tries doing is making "some decisions: like appreciating family more, focusing on school and hunting for Kristina" (327). She stays on top of her schoolwork, family and focuses on her goals for the first week. Later on, she starts changing back to her bad habits. Usually in day to day life, peer pressure is a factor that changes people's focus or direction. This is clearly evident in Kristina/Bree's life. Since others around her like Adam and Brendon started doing things, she started following. Now, she is "struggling through hell for her mind, her soul, and her life".
The book is getting interesting and in-depth. It gives internal thoughts and how Bree copes with her family, her "new friends" (Chase, Brenden, and Adam) and her schoolwork. I hope that Bree follows the right path. She should take away this "monster" from her life to find peace. This book is very informative and entertaining. It is helpful for people to read this book, if they deal with these problems. Since, this story is based on a true story, it gave me a more interest to read it. Also, if others read this book, they will enjoy it and understand life in a better way and the value of it.
