The perfect book for the Family Relations class I am currently taking, to say the least. All the interconnections and seeing just how every single part of a family can be altered because of one person's addiction... it hits hom, especially the last page... that was powerful, and I can relate that back to my own relationship with my mother, though it is not quite as big a problem as a drug addiction like Kristina's, in many ways it is similar, and reading this has shown me that others go through these feelings of hate, and love, and anger, and forgiveness, and acceptance. 5 out of 5 would read again!

In a span of one week, I have finally finished the entire Crank series. This series was absolutely amazing, and I grew to absolutely fall in love with all of the main characters, especially Kristina/Bree.
"Fallout" is the last book in this series, and is actually about the authors predictions of how the kids of Kristina will live. This book takes place around nineteen years in the future, and is told from the point of view of Kristina's first three kids; Hunter, Autumn, and Summer. As the story progresses, each of their backstories weave Kristina's story, and they are drawn together by her as the book nears its' end.
This story is heartbreaking for a different reason than the first two. Since this story is not told from Kristina's POV, you see her the way others in her life view her, and sometimes it just seems so unfair! You know the reason she did what she did, and I didn't agree with the way soem people judged her in the book, which sent a really powerful message about what's on the surface and how people really judge what they don't know.
My edition also had a letter from the real "Kristina" talking about her addiction, which I felt was really powerful.
I just loved this series so much, and however many problems I know she caused for herself and others around her, I know I will always miss Kristina.

What a disappointment! Come on, Ellen Hopkins! You can do better than this. Crank and Glass were both compelling and heartbreaking (plus you couldn't put them down!), while Fallout was... what? Nothing but one huge disappointment. I contemplated not finishing it.
I kept getting the two girl characters mixed up, and frankly all three voices sounded the exact same. Like she didn't even try to make separate characters. It seemed like Hopkins was trying to make Kristina the focus of this book, but it the book didn't work out that way.
Anyway. Hopkins should have left this book out and left Crank and Glass alone.

Told from the viewpoint of three of Kristina’s children, I sometimes had a hard time telling the two daughters apart. I really liked seeing the different members of the family come together despite the pain they each experienced.

I know have closure. So glad the author listened to her fans and published the end of the story.

I likely would have enjoyed this book a bit more if I hadn’t put a 14 year gap between Glass and it’s Final part FALLOUT.
I was left wanting more but merely because everything was just rushed.
However What bothered me most was Ellen calling Incubus “Metal”.
I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
