This was okay. Definitely stand by it being so compelling and interesting when I was a teen, but as an adult there’s kind of a lot of homophobia and also it does NOT seem to be written by someone who has actually experienced addiction, just someone who has watched someone else have one.

I really liked this book. It still deals with the main character's addiction. This time she falls even harder and neglects her son, her family, and her health. I was hoping that she would end up sober, but then again, I knew from the last book that it would be even harder for her the second time around, and it was. I suppose in the next book she'll get better because she will be forced to, and I also wonder what will happen to her son. oh well, I guess I'll find out when I read Fallout. =D

I'm really bummed about Glass. The story was very predictable and I really couldn't stand Kristina anymore. Perhaps my expectations were too high.

It was a good book. I just really don't like starting in the middle of a series. The book has a lot of drama and a good storyline. Now I'm going to read the first book to get some background infromation on this book. 'Glass' is a wonderful book. I recommend this book to anybody with an open mind.Thumbs up!!!!

I would agree with some of my fellow readers that I was slightly fearful that this book would be very similar to the first one. However it was nothing like a repeat of the first book. In this book Kristina gets in way over her head by thinking she can control the monster. All she wanted is to feed the need and keep at a maintenance level to get through the day. On things leads to another until all is to much(without giving to much away).

This book shows how addicting crystal meth could be. An addiction is an addiction for life, it never goes away and this book is a good representation of that. Once you start with the monster will be part of your life if you want it to or not. I think if you want to know how a addiction can effect your life this is a great series to read.

This is sad journey for Kristina and I wish her the best. I can't wait to get my hands on fallout.
