  <default_description>Crank. Glass. Ice. Crystal. Whatever you call it, it's all the same: a monster. And once it's got hold of you, this monster will never let you go. 
Kristina thinks she can control it. Now with a baby to care for, she's determined to be the one deciding when and how much, the one calling the shots. But the monster is too strong, and before she knows it, Kristina is back in its grips. She needs the monster to keep going, to face the pressures of day-to-day life. She needs it to feel alive. 
Once again the monster takes over Kristina's life and she will do anything for it, including giving up the one person who gives her the unconditional love she craves- her baby.
The sequel to &lt;I&gt;Crank&lt;/i&gt;, this is the continuing story of Kristina and her descent back to hell. Told in verse, it's a harrowing and disturbing look at addiction and the damage that it inflicts.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I was shocked that Kristina would use glass (aka meth) after her son was born. The author began to pick off from the first book, <u> Crank </u> and narrates the story through Kristina's point of view. Ever since she met her biological father, her father dragged her down from a &quot;A student&quot; to some...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44790173">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[While I love the way Ellen Hopkins has written this book, there is no way I would put this on a shelf in a middle school classroom and probably not in a middle school library.  High school, possibly 11th grade up, but no way 6th-9th grade.  10th is iffy.  <br/><br/>The story continues with Kristin...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77367923">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I’ve read four of Hopkins’ novels in blank verse now and I think: <em>that’s enough,</em> at least for now. I’ve read her overwrought suburban female adolescents brimming with problems. This is the continuation of Kristina from <u>Crank</u>’s story. She not brimming with problems, she's just got the one, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78433429">more...</a>]]></body>

Scary stuff!!  <br/><br/>This book is fiction, although it is based on some real events that happened to the author's daughter.... about 8 years ago.

    <body><![CDATA[This is another 3.5 star review.  <em>Glass</em>, the sequel to <em>Crank</em>, is much grittier than the first book.  Incredibly disturbing this book is hard to put down.  At first, I wanted to shake all the characters and make them see the downward spiral that was beginning.  I wanted to interrupt the events of the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65451309">more...</a>]]></body>
