Crank. Honestly before I read this book I had no idea what crank even was. It sounded like something that made you happy and made you want to enjoy life. There has been quite a few time where I have said “IM CRANKED!” just because I thought it was another word for overly excited, or happy. Well in the book I have realized that’s what it is something that is overly exciting to do, something that you never want to stop. It’s a perfect title; no one wants to stop being overly excited and happy about life, and completely numb to everything that brings them down. Well that’s exactly what crank is something that makes you numb and invisible to everything, something that you don’t want to end. When it does everything just hits you twice as hard. Crank is another word for the monster, cocaine. Which fits this book extremely well because that’s exactly what it does makes you want to live the fast life, until it wears off and you have zero control of anything.
Crank is crystal meth.
ReplyDeleteI learned quite a bit in the book, too. Made me very grateful for my life, and for the fact that I've never had to really suffer through addiction.
