Fallout

Fallout by Ellen Hopkins is the third and final instalment of the Crank trilogy. I started the series about 5 years ago, and decided it was about time I read the last book. I was a huge fan of the first ones (Crank and Glass) and I really wasn't disappointed with Fallout.

In this last book, the story isn't focused on Kristina, but on her 3 oldest children and how their lives have been affected by their mother's relationship with the monster.

Hopkins has a very unique way of writing her books, and I really like it. You can easily get sucked in and read it all in one sitting. Fallout is really not a hard read, but it's very emotional. It's difficult to be indifferent to the characters.

I really recommend this book (the series) if you like YA novels. Or even if you don't! It's just one of these books!

Definitely my least favorite of the Crank trilogy. Worth the read if you've read the other two, but be warned that it's not nearly as addictive or intense. This book doesn't focus on Kristina. It's about her offspring and it's a speculation of what might happen based on the past and the personalities of the characters. I really enjoyed the ending but it was kind of a long haul to get there. There were some nice warm fuzzies to read about Kristina's whole family having Christmas dinner together.
