A review by supermomcrazytown
Fallout by Ellen Hopkins

4.0

I couldn't put this book down. I really enjoyed the third book in this series being said from the points of views or her three oldest children. The first two books, and this is downright not my style, made me think... what the hell is so special about this drug. Even though I read the perspective on using it, I just can't wrap my head around it. So much so that if I were less responsible, a little younger, not dead set against controlled substances, and maybe a little more vulnerable... I would have wanted to try it for myself. There is definitely an urge inside me that thinks, I should try this shit cause I don't believe it so special. Obviously I would never feed that urge because, well because a) I have gone 30 years without temptation, looking down on people using drugs, always saying no and b) because I read glass and fallout. Those two books, especially this one... just shows you how one decision to 'try' it could change your life... and everyone else around you's life. Good job Ellen, for writing this book. I felt like it was me experiencing all of this and no other book has done that to me.
