Review Roundup
Ellen Hopkins' Crank vividly explores the harrowing effects of addiction through a unique verse format. The gripping narrative and authentic voice captivate readers, but some find the poetic style disjointed. While praised for its raw realism and emotional depth, it may be too intense for sensitive readers. Overall, it's a compelling and thought-provoking read.
Who Should Read Crank?
Readers who would enjoy Crank by Ellen Hopkins are typically teens or young adults interested in intense, gripping narratives about addiction and personal struggle. Comparable to readers of Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why and Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak, they seek raw, emotional stories told in a unique, poetic format.
