It's one of those stories like this where you see the hero moving unstoppably down a path towards destruction. I found that I couldn't finish CRANK because I couldn't reach into the book and stop her and that was really depressing for me. (This is probably why I don't read contemporary very often! Too fragile!)<br /><br />The Obvious Game: You can press PAUSE on a book at any time.Kiersihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033659930186902045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086062096420008519.post-26039331046809837452013-02-08T15:28:39.895-05:002013-02-08T15:28:39.895-05:00Obvious Game: realistic fiction is having a comeba...Obvious Game: realistic fiction is having a comeback.<br />This one sounds like it'd be a real help for some teens to read.Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.com
