Well, Fallout didn't hold under the weight of Crank and Glass, but it was good nonetheless. Glad to see the infection has started... The Hopkinosis? Ellesianitis? I quite like Ellesianitis actually. <br /><br />The poetry is another tool to express ideas, whereas prose is a mere vehicle to deliver the ideas. The difference in experience is quite great. Helps that the ideas she expresses are so worthy of being expressed.<br /><br />Also, why did you not heed my command and compliment my brilliance? What good is a reader base if they don't shower me in compliments?

I have this need to read every book by an author I love lol.<br /><br />I think the poetry aspect of her writing makes her stand out and, as you said, gives her words more weight and power. Ellen Hopkins is most definitely a writer more parents/teachers need to expose their teenaged kids to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006202162871450425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295149472931283754.post-57318831478595475662013-04-12T15:35:43.689-05:002013-04-12T15:35:43.689-05:00I need to go back and watch some episodes of Bleac...I need to go back and watch some episodes of Bleach. There are some truly fantastic moments there. <br /><br />I'd recommend anything by Ellen Hopkins. Crank and Glass are the stand out books for me, Tricks is fantastic also. If you ever have an opportunity to read Ellen Hopkins, I'd suggest you at least try it out.<br /><br />Thanks! :PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13659984199652042465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295149472931283754.post-75730575449028905942013-04-12T07:56:31.935-05:002013-04-12T07:56:31.935-05:00yeah, it is!
