About this listen

 Kristina Georgia Snow is the perfect daughter: gifted high-school junior, quiet, never any trouble. But on a trip to visit her absentee father, she meets a boy who introduces her to crank. At first she finds it freeing, but soon Kristina's personality disappears inside the drug. What began as a wild, ecstatic ride turns into a struggle through hell for her mind, her soul, and her life.©2004 Ellen Hopkins (P)2008 HighBridge Company Difficult Situations Family Family & Relationships Growing Up Literature & Fiction Dating

What the critics say

"Hopkins writes in free-verse poems that paint painfully sharp images...detailing how powerful the "monster" can be. The poems are masterpieces of word, shape, and pacing, compelling readers on to the next chapter in Kristina's spiraling world." (School LIbrary Journal)

This book and the series is one of my personal favorites because this is the best written narrative that intensely described the struggles for the problems depicted and the feelings that accompany them for those who may not understand. Even though the major struggle was around harsher drugs, the feelings and thought process were perfectly depicted for the many self destructive and curiosity struggles we face. For anyone who wishes to understand someone they see struggling, this book helps put you in the mindset and definitely helps you empathise rather than judge. The voice acting was a perfect choice as well!
Very impressed, very touched, and at the top of my recommend list!! #Audible1

Narrator is one of my favourite this book is written in a poem style so I’m sure it was hard to put a voice to the names but I enjoyed it and the crank series is always one of my favourite!

Great listen and read!

I really loved this book when I read it so I thought I would give the audio version a try and I couldn’t stand the narrator. It was like she was learning to read her first book out loud. I love the book and the writing is fantastic but the narration is terrible. Make you sure you listen to the sample before using a credit on it.
