The author is Ellen Hopkins

Glass is a book that ill recommend to an older crowd just fir the fact that it is so graphic. Kristina is a 18 year old girl whom has to deal with a terrible addiction to meth. She deals with this while raising her little baby . SHE constantly thinks and wishes that she would be able to get high. But living with her mother and having to raise her baby. She eventually does find a way to get high; by selling drugs with the Mexican mafia
Glass is a really good book in my opinion. The way that is written makes it an easy read yet its a read that gives much details. Yeah its a book for a more older age but i recommend this book to anyone from 13+ jus because its a good book to read . i promise you will NOT regret reading it.
I choose this book while i was in BarnesAndNoble book shopping. When I saw GLASS in the store it grabbed my attention because of its cover. I also choose this book because i read the first book Crank. To my surprise Glass was twice as better than crank; but i recommend if you were to read glass you must read crank.
The Genre of the book is Realistic fiction. It is realistic fiction because the situations that Kristina deals with in the book can CLEARLY happen in real life. The plot of the story grows as Kristina falls more into her drug addiction. in the beginning of the story Kristina at first was cooperating and not using drugs and focusing on raising her baby. But it all changes when she meets her old friend from high school; a total meth junkie. That is when Kristina starts falling again for the monster. she looses everything she has. Eventually she even tries to rob her own house. What does this show you? drugs will get NO WHERE. Kristina unfortunately ends up in jail... Pregnant.

I give GLASS ★★★★☆ ( 4 out of 5 )

  1. This review is okay, it could have been better because I know Carmen is capable of writing a better one. One of the problems was when you said something in one paragraph, then you say it again in the next. You should write your point in one paragraph. And also you should next time elaborate on things you say and you shouldn't write slamg. I like how you talked about the plot and some of the vocabulary you used.
