I have never wanted to slap a protagonist in the face as much as in this book! I also liked Ellen's mention of banned books and how all it's doing is hiding reality we should be learning from. Kids reading this book might actually get the crap scared out of them enough to stay the heck away from drugs! Yet, some prefer to make sure their kids are blind to the realities of our society? I rather read this to my child than have them star in their own story like this because they don't know better.May 22, 2012
After I finished Crank, I practically sped my way to Barnes and Noble go get this book, the second in the series. In this follow-up to Kristina's sordid tale, she continues to chronicle her life with the monster (crystal meth). After being kicked out of her house and denied access to her son, she finds herself at the mercy of the monster.Apr 28, 2008
This is the follow-up to Crank and I was a bit skeptical as to how it would play out, since at the end of the first she had supposedly quit the habit. I actually found this one to be a bit more believable in terms of the way her addiction played out, and while it could have been just the same plot re-hashed, it definitely didn't feel that way to me.Jun 07, 2017

Initial reaction: I'll have to think about how I'm going to write the review for this book, but it'll be a sizable one.Jan 15, 2008

Pardon the awful use of wordplay, but I was addicted to this book about a teenage girl's continued journey through the frightening realm of meth use. I plowed through it in less than two days.

Raped by a fellow meth user in Crank, Kristina, now almost 18, is living at home in Reno and raising her newborn son Hunter. Clean for a couple months, she starts craving "The Monster" and looking for ways to get it. The path back to glass also leads to dealing, a new love named Trey, and ultimately major trouble with her family and the law. Written in verse, Glass is a sad, poignant, and guiltily fascinating depiction of a "normal" girl unraveling her "normal" life, and descending into a truly dark, crazy, and perhaps inescapable world. ...moreJul 21, 2013
"Crank. Glass. Ice. Crystal. Whatever you call it, it's all the same: a monster. And once it's got hold of you, this monster will never let you go.Feb 22, 2018
3.5/5Feb 22, 2015
These books are, excuse the pun, but so addicting. They are depressing and stress-inducing. You will be so mad at the characters and yet, you love them and are rooting for them to find a way. Major triggers for any kind of addiction, particularly drugs. Masterfully written and brutally honest... I need a minute to process! I didn't quite love this one as much as the first, but it was a fantastic sequel and I will be reading the final installment, Fallout, right away!Nov 09, 2016
This book made me sob, blow a fuse, and laugh all at the same time! Man, what a great book. This book was the second installment of the Crank series, and I can say it did not disappoint.Sep 30, 2016
Wow. I don't know what else to say about this sequel to Crank, another favorite of mine. Ellen Hopkins has once again managed to blow me away. There were so many unexpected twists and turns in Glass, and I can honestly say that every single page held my complete attention. Glass is without a doubt one of my favorite books I have ever read.Aug 14, 2018
This book is just as depressing as the last one, just when we think our MC is in the clear, she falls back to the monster. This book gives a very realistic picture of a meth addict trying to recover. And how easy it is to fall back into the trap.Jul 11, 2015

Sequel to Crank.. In Crank we left Kristina having a baby, watching her mom cuddle with her baby as Kristina walks out the door to go do crank/ crack/ meth whatever.Oct 09, 2014
Perhaps this is why I don't like trilogies: Been there, done that...in other words, I never find the second as riveting as the first. Ellen Hopkins is a very, very talented writer. I loved Crank because it was difficult (and easy) to read, because it was jarring and shocking, because it was captivating and (dare I say...I'm sure others have...) addictive. The writing style was new to me, unique, and utterly flawless. How can you follow that?!? I would have believed in a second that she herself Perhaps this is why I don't like trilogies: Been there, done that...in other words, I never find the second as riveting as the first.

I would have believed in a second that she herself was a meth addict simply because the writing felt that authentic. I found it tremendously sad that these books were born of her daughters personal struggle.May 19, 2008

4.5 stars. Despite not having read book one and despite Kristina being rather infuriating at times, I still loved this. It's not my favorite Ellen Hopkins book, but I am still grateful that I read it. As with all her books, it is quick, hard-hitting and heartbreaking.May 05, 2014
Awesome! Haha, you can bet I won't ever be touching drugs. Not after reading this.Nov 07, 2018

I am almost at a loss for words because of the end of this book. And to be honest, the entire series, so far, has me either speechless, or emotional. Or a mixture of both. This is the second book in the Crank trilogy, and I am torn between feeling a sadness at finishing the trilogy, happy I'm starting a new book, dying to know what happens, but at the same time, not wanting to know what happens to Kristina.Nov 22, 2009
There has to be a third book, because this girl needs to die. I will not be satisfied until that selfish, dirty, deceitful bitch dies. The way she treated her son made me want to cry, and in no way was I sad for her. I was sad for her poor, helpless baby. Stuck under a chair, sucking on a bleeding lip, and crawling on the floor among ashes and meth. Are we supposed to feel sorry for the pathetic, worthless piece of shit that is his mother? I need there to be another book that includes her death, There has to be a third book, because this girl needs to die. I will not be satisfied until that selfish, dirty, deceitful bitch dies.

Despite many recommendations from my classmates, I really don't like this series that much. It's not the kind of thing I obsess over. It's not that it's not a good series, it's just not my type of book. I can see why it can be appealing to so readers(it's based on real events in the author's life, a lot of teens can relate to it, and it is incredibly sad), but I can't seem to sympathize with the main character at all.Take your time and choose the perfect book.
