Fallout by Ellen Hopkins

The storyline of this book skips almost 15 years from the end of Glass. (Hopkins said this was the last of the series.) It is told from the point of view of three of Kristina's children (she has a total of five children, all of them with issues resulting from her drug use). There were a lot of characters in this book, with shifting view points every nine or ten chapters, so you had to pay attention to who the narrator was in order to keep up with the story (the change in font with each new character did not help much). Some of the issues these three teenagers faced were what any teenager would face. . .Hopkins seems to have gone easy when portraying their psychological damage, considering how direct she was in the first two books about Kristina. It might be because she tried to cram too much into one book (following three characters instead of just one). The ending was a bit contrived, but it did allow me to close the book without the same haunting feeling that the first two left me with. I think I'll take a break from Ms. Hopkins' books, but I do want to come back and read some of her other works.
