Crank

I know it's a young adult book and I know you can't really terrify kids with realistic horror stories about meth addictions, but this book still didn't seem to be quite enough. It glossed up and fogged over meth addiction. And the poetic way of writing seemed a little bit full of itself after a while. It needed to be a little grittier and really give a more vivid, real look into the psychology of drug addicts because it's such a complicated, out of control situation. It did begin to, but in a way that seemed clouded over. It did make me think twice about having kids though.
