One thing I can't deny about Ellen Hopkins is that the lady knows how to write! I love the flow of every one of her books, the intriguing hooks at the end of each character section, and the different format of each poem/verse. Some of the layouts are simple and straightforward, while others creatively separate a word or two of each paragraph, forming a separate sentence out of those words that touches on the essence of the entire poem. In all of these aspects, Fallout does not disappoint. Fallout is the third book of the Crank series, which is a fictional account of real life events that Ellen Hopkins went through with her own daughter. She manages to weave truth and fiction together in a fashion that keeps the reader tied to the story. The two previous books of the series were written from Kristina/Bree's point of view, while Fallou t takes a different perspective and shows the reader how Kristina's choices and mistakes have affected the lives of her children
