Crank
Crank reads like a poem book. In it, she chronicles the turbulent and often disturbing relationship between Kristina, a character based on her own daughter, and the "monster," the highly addictive drug crystal meth, or "crank." Kristina is introduced to the drug while visiting her largely absent and ne'er-do-well father. While under the influence of the monster, Kristina discovers her sexy alter-ego, Bree: "there is no perfect daughter, / no gifted high school junior, / no Kristina Georgia Snow. / There is only Bree." Bree will do all the things good girl Kristina won't, she will do anything for a quick fix.She was more into drug then her school work so her grades started to drop, and her friends and family slowly started pushing away from her. With her family and friends steady push away from her this made her depressed so she more of the monster just to get through the day.I haven't read that much, but I feel she isn't worthy of praise because she not doing thing worth being praised for.She's hurting her family and friend and ruining her life.I feel like if she continues to mess around with stranger just for the influence of the monster, she going to end up hurt or worst dead somewhere.
