Add a CommentI really enjoyed this book and how it showed the long-term effects of meth on a person's friends and family. I can't say that I enjoyed all the characters because Kristina makes me so mad, Hunter is a cheating jerk, and Autumn acts way too naive and makes some stupid decisions (I tried to be vague and not give anything away). Summer is probably the only one who didn't irritate me a lot. However, I'd still recommend this book (and this series) because it gives you an inside view of the consequences of meth, and I've learned a lot from this series.
This books takes the point of view of Kristina's children and shows the effects meth had on her family. Though the individual stories are strong, I was not the greatest fan of the ending. It is highly unlikely that everyone would happen to come together, even though this brings a definite ending to the trilogy. Apart from the last few sections- good book.
I was extremely touched by this book. This one in particular showed how drug use and your choices affects everyone around you. Theres nothing sader than the pain, rage and hatred Kristina's children feel towards their mother for chosing drugs over them. It shows how from the first book to this one how much Meth has taken a toll and taken everything from her that she ever was or ever could be. I am a former cocaine addict, 2 and a half years clean, with only 2-3 relapses. I am currently now in school to become a social worker to work with youth ages 12-20 addicts. Kristina reminds me strongly of my ex girlfriend who still is a struggling meth addict. I tried to help her get clean and she was clean for awhile but i seen her a couple days ago and found out shes been using again and is now a week clean. Its a back and forth uphill battle for addicts, and i just want all addicts, those who have gotten clean and those still struggling, that theres someone who cares. I may not know you but I love you. And if you need someone to talk to, if you need help in anyway, just send me an email at the_blackfire_dragon@hotmail.com, and I will help you anyway i can. Because there is light at the end of the tunnel, and there are people who care. I know because ive gone through it myself, and im extending a hand for whoever wants it. I wish you all the best. -Kayla.
The final book in the Crank series in from the POV of Kristin's children. Interesting to see how addiction affects those around you. This is a story that could go on forever, but wraps up satisfyingly in this 3rd and final book. Would definitely recommend this series to others.
Sadly awesome book
In my opinion, this was the best of this series. "Fallout" picks up the story after Bree's children have grown and talks about the issues they are dealing with because of their "relationship" with their mother.
The best of the series!
Definitely worth the wait - both for the release date and for my hold to come in at the library. Fabulous completion to the trilogy about Kristina (Bree) Snow. Written from the perspective of her three oldest children (Hunter, Summer and Autumn) who each have different fathers. Shows some of the many ways drug addictions can affect so many people.
I was so happy to finally get this book! I have been following 'Kristina's' story for awhile, and waiting in anticipation for the third book. Like many followers of 'Crank' and 'Glass' I was expecting an ending to Kristina's story. But instead we got the stories of her children. Beat and broken from their mothers mistake. Prone to drug abuse and poor family ties. We are taken on their personal journeys. In Crank and Glass, we feel so bad for poor, lost, young Kristina, but in Fallout, everything changes. Now Kristina is an addict who has lost the ability to feel compasion. She has little if no connection to their lives, but yet she has bonded them forever. Great book, couldn't put it down!
An awesome conclusion to the trilogy. Really sad how Kristina's life turned out, but also realistic. Hopkins is a great writer, I can't wait to read more.
