glass

I've started reading a book outside of class that has come to my attention.

It is extremely different from the books we have been reading lately.
Far Far from it actually
It is called Glass by Ellen Hopkins and it is the sequel to the book Crank
Not only is the storyline really interesting, but the way the story is set up is really cool. It is almost like a poem, written in verse, however, it does not rhyme. Rather it tells a story. And on each page, the stanzas and verses are typed and layed out in different designs that almost match what is going on in the story.

I am about to tell you what the story is about, but I must warn you, it is rather disturbing.
Glass follows the life of a young teenage girl who is addicted to crystal meth and is struggling to raise her son alone. If you read Crank then you know the character of Kristina, or Bree, rather well and know most of her story. The sequel describes her struggle with her knewly born baby and her relapse into the 'monsters' hands. It's actually really sad to read because I know that some teenagers actually go through this. I haven't gotten very far but I thought it was really interesting. Comment if you have read it before!
