Fallout (Crank, #3)

I think I personally enjoyed book 1 and 2 the most, but this one was incredibly powerful. Told in the perspective of Kristina's children almost 20 years later, Fallout shows us not only the long term effects of addiction, but also how wide the effects go. How many people and generation it touches. How many lives it marks. These kids all have deep rooted psychological issues caused by the simple fact of being born by an addict, but also by being abandoned, feeling unloved and alone. It was interesting to see how different these kids all turned out as well. My favorite perspective was Hunter's. I found his narrative to be the most compelling. This may simply be because his story most closely relates to the other books. We knew him as a baby, as well as the specifics surrounding his family situation from birth. It's like I felt more attached to him because of that.
Also in this edition we get to hear from the real "Kristina". She writes of her addiction and how/why she went down that road. If you decide to buy this series make sure to get these editions. Each book has a special section that make the story all the more emotional just by reading of these real-life stories. The other 2 gave us bits of Ellen's very own journey from which the series is based on.

I may try this book even though it is not my usual genre.
