Fallout by Ellen HopkinsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Avg rating: 4.30
Goodreads Summary:
The riveting final chapter of the Crank trilogy, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins.
Hunter, Autumn, and Summer--three of Kristina Snow's five children--live in different homes, with different guardians and different last names. They share only a predisposition for addiction and a host of troubled feelings toward the mother who barely knows them, a mother who has been riding with the monster, crank, for twenty years.
As each teen searches for real love and true family, they find themselves pulled toward the one person who links them together--Kristina, Bree, mother, addict. But it is in each other, and in themselves, that they find the trust, the courage, the hope to break the cycle.
Told in three voices and punctuated by news articles chronicling the family's story, Fallout is the stunning conclusion to the trilogy begun by Crank and Glass, and a testament to the harsh reality that addiction is never just one person's problem.
Actual Rating: 5.0
WOW.... So good. I feel like a totally different person after reading this trilogy.. I fell in love with these characters in more ways than one. It was unlike any other book. By the end of it I felt like I was part of the family.
Fallout was my favorite book of the 3, written in the perspective of the children of Kristina, the addicted meth user.
I may not relate to the characters who have all lived through a quite dramatic upbringing but I didn't need to. The writing style never faltered. It was beautiful, poetic, and intense.
Ellen Hopkins is my new favorite author and I will be reading every one of her books. I highly highly recommend this book. It took me on an emotional roller coaster and when it was over I was quite sad.
I love books that make me feel feelings I don't normally feel in every day life... Go read it, be it, love it.
