Flirtin' With the Monster: Your Favorite Authors on Ellen Hopkins' Crank and Glass, by Ellen Hopkins, Cinda Williams Chima, Terri Clark, Megan Kelley Hall, Niki Burnham, Gail Giles, Susan Hart Lindquist, Micol Ostow, Mary Bryan
3.0
"So you want to know all about me. Who I am.
What chance meeting of brush and canvas painted the face you see?."
Earlier this year I read another book by Ellen Hopkins, Burned, and I have to say that I enjoyed Crank less. Once again, I loved the writing style and it's truly admirable that the author not only touched upon such serious subject but also was inspired by her real life experiences. But on the other hand, I didn't really connect with the characters and I thought that the ending was quite abrupt. Everything was wrapped up too quickly, while I felt like some matters should have been given more attention.
