Fallout (the middle)

          Fallout is written by Ellen Hopkins. As we left off at, you were meeting Hunter, Summer, and Autumn. All from different families and different last names. Of course it is the middle of the book and an issue has to occur. In each story of a character there is a difference but also a similarity. All of the children take drugs or smoke pot. There is always a bad influence, and that is the issue.

        Hunter was adopted to his grandmother. Summer was adopted to another family. And Autumn is in foster care. Hunter has a usual life but he has a girlfriend that is not a good influence. Her name is Nikki. When reading the middle of the story, Nikki breaks up with Hunter. I thought that it was a good sign but sadly it wasn't. Nikki moved out of her apartment without him knowing. Summer has an okay life. She lives with her Aunt Cora and her grandpa. She has a her father in jail, again. And no mother. Autumn is probably, out of all three, is the depresses one. She describes her foster home with anger and frustration. It isn't a good balance for her.  All we know is that she has the most toughest role in the foster home.

      As we are traveling closer and closer to the end, there will always be infernces and heartbreaks. From my point of view, Nikki and Hunter are done. Hunter doesn't realize it but there finished!

Fallout


     Fallout is written by Ellen Hopkins. Fallout is an example of reading Crank. Everything that happens is related to Kristina and her father. As we left in Crank, Kristina had Hunter. Hunter was her first son, but there is more to Kristina than just Hunter. As you read Fallout there is a loophole in every single word of Kristina's children way of speaking.
  
    Hunter. Autumn.Summer. They are Kristina's children. But they do not all live in the same environment nor have the last names. It is weird because of how Crank left us. There was only one baby that we were told.  Not three. Reading Fallout is only the beginning. Hunter is already taking drugs. It seems as if all of Kristina's children are all similar. When reading Fallout, Kristina left Hunter with her mom and dad. The reason why is that Hunter started calling them, mommy and daddy so they thought that it would be right if the parents adopted Hunter. As you can see it is loophole after another.

    Fallout will have a extremly juicy ending. I would reccomend Fallout to readers that want to continue with Kristina's life of her children's point of view. All we know for now about Kristina is that she is still on drugs. Its depressing to be her.

Burned


       Burned is written by Ellen Hopkins.In Burned you never know what will come. Its a story where you can hide or forgive. Readers will never forget the troubled times of Burned. Pattyn, is her name. She has 9 sisters. The reason why she has so many sisters, is because of her dad wanting a boy. From this point you think that the dad is silly for having all those babies because of just one thing. But having all those sisters put everyone to shame. Pattyn doesn't even know her dad. She sees him throughout her life but she doesn't know him as her father. its a weird connection. 

       Pattyn is a usual teenage girl but she is a Mormon. A Mormon is a member of a Saint church. Being a Mormon puts boundaries on Pattyn's life. She has to have a Mormon boyfriend or there will be death consequences. Her father is known as the king in their house. Whenever he gets drunk he hits Pattyn's mom. Pattyn has to keep all of the secrets inside their house because of the Mormon life. Pattyn has had enough of all of these secrets. What do you think will happen next?

      Burned is an interesting book to read about. Ellen Hopkins is a great author and storyteller. I would recommend this book to Ellen Hopkins lovers. From reading all her books, each and every one speaks something different.

Identical........... part 2(I am spilling the beans)

       Identical, as you know is written by Ellen Hopkins. I am so close to the ending. A lot has happened, which I may not tell you. Its confusing but fascinating to read. Ellen Hopkins explains both of the sides of the identical twins, or is she? Reading after 213 pages you somehow notice something strange. You never thought that this would happen!

      Ranee and Raleigh are twin sisters. But, there was an accident. Not a switched at birth accident, a car accident. No one never knew what happened that day. But of course someone died. In an accident a life must be taken away. After all of these disasters, Raleigh questions herself, who am I? Whenever there is a question there is a mystery to be solved. Raleigh has a identity disorder. If you don't know what that means, I cannot tell you. But, this is messing up Raleigh's entire life!  

      All in all, I recommend this book to people that enjoy reading Ellen Hopkins mysterious lives. I really enjoy her books. Some are scary and some aren't. These are her adventures. I hope you'll enjoy!
