Very Powerful

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2021

I read this book (the entire trilogy) as recovering meth addict with three small children and I can say that it reigns true. I am grateful to have going on three years clean from "the monster" and am living a perfect, quiet life with my children while they are still young. This book particularly really puts what could be my children's life in perspective for me, as it is from the view of Kristina's oldest three children as teenagers. Ellen Hopkins has once again captivated me. I couldn't put the book down.

Pretty Good Ending, but Hard to Follow

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2013

I found the conclusion of Crank to be less than the reviews posted and rating of a 4.7 when the other books were a 4.5. In my opinion, the books gradually got worse and the ending of Fallout didn't resolve anything. I much prefered Kristina's side rather than her obviously doomed children, each involved in drugs or unprotected sex... having feelings of panic often, asthma, anger problems, schizophrenia, alcohol consumption to ease worries. Not every kid would turn out bad. It was just a sad ending and I didn't get anything out of this confusing, switch sides story.

Hopkins Does it Again!

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2012

After reading all of Ellen Hopkins novels, both teenage and adult, readers have followed the intricate lives of teenagers growing up, the parents' choices, and how the choices of all the characters intertwine and affect the other characters! Written in prose verse, Hopkins offers a new approach to reading and story telling.

Fallout continues the story that started with Crank, followed by Glass, both of which focus on the story of Kristina and her struggle with addiction. Fallout focuses on three of Kristina's children - Summer, Autumn, and Hunter (who we meet in Glass as a baby) and their stories growing up. Fallout is an amazing continuation of the stories and offers such character development and details throughout the story. Hopkins truly does it again!

I would recommend this book to anyone who has already read the first two novels and is a Hopkins fan! I would suggest this book for teenagers or older! A really great read!

Amazing trilogy

Love this trilogy! I do wish they kept the original covers.. but I do understand how it could be a little controversial. I first read them when I was in high school, let someone borrow them and never returned. I have never been one that liked to read, but when I found this was written in poetry form, it caught my attention. Makes it easy to read but also makes you think. Definitely a must read!

Sorry to see the end of the trilogy

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2014

Verified Purchase

I can't say much about the story line as I don't want to ruin it for readers. It's a change from Crank and Glass which I guess was good but I kind of missed the point of view change. If there was a fourth book I would have immediately ordered it on my Kindle to continue with the story but I understand why the author chose to stop at three. The trilogy was completely enjoyable and I have recommended it to lots of people.

Inspiring

I found this series in general inspiring. I have had the personal experience of crystal tearing apart my family. It wasn't myself, but the uncle I was living with at the time. At the time he was living with us he was going through a very bad breakup and was in the process of going blind due to a car accident. We knew he had issues with crystal before but thought it was all done and over with. Little did we know it is nearly impossible to get rid of this monster once you start following IT. I am absolutely in love with this series. Possibly for the main reason that I can halfway relate to the pain and agony these children have felt through their lifetime.

Best book I've ever read.

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2011

I have never felt like I did for Kristina and her family. They are real, pure, raw emotions that are indescribable. Hunter, Summer, and Autumn. You feel them, you feel for them. Amazing dynamic characters that come together in a way that might not be the best but was right for the time being. I fell in love with them, just the same as I did for Kristina years ago. Fallout was the best ending that I think it could have possibility had to this powerful trilogy. Ellen Hopkins is a great writer and she's couldn't of done a better job. Best of luck to the real "Kristina" and their family.

Looking more than foward to Perfect.

Good Closure to the Series

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

I loved the first to books in this series (Crank and Glass), so I had to read this one. I don't feel this book is as strong as the first two, but it's still very well written and provided some closure to the series. This book is written in a manner that you could read it standalone without the first two.
