i liked it i know its in the 'Crank' triliogy so i wont be able to read the others in the series till they come in at the library( people have em checked out). i like Ellen's books at first reading in verse is a little different, but i try not to think of them as poems all the time and i get through them. plus the story lines make them a difficult read, but i love that her books are with real life situations of what someone may go through. Kritina aka Bree is a normal girl, untill one summer on a trip to see her dad, things take a turn where she meets the monster. things change at home, people start to notice, she hides Bree as much as she can,but she can only hold on for so long.
