Mrs.Hopkins (or Ellen),
Your books are so amazing, oh my gosh. You are my favorite author and I have read all of your books more than once! I am totally addicted to your books. I connect with every single one of them in some way, and I have really never been able to feel that way when reading a book. You and your books have impacted my life in such an amazing way, so thank you..thank you so much! You are a brilliant author and my favorite thing about reading your books is that I have read them all about a million times each, and every time I read them they still amaze me. I always find something that I missed before or a part or two can make my heart race incredably fast...I dont know how to tell you how much I really love all of your books, :)! They really have changed me and my life for the better and its just epic :).

Thank you SO much,
Michaela Star Collins.

PS: I cant wait for "Perfect" to come out on September 13!!! Im so excited to read it!!! I know that it will be beautifully written and it wont fail me :). Looking forward to it!

i just wish life wasn't how it is; most of you're books tell my story. . .; i guess things happen for a reason ya' know? you're books help me get threw life; i like reading the happy parts because it gives me hope that i will make it out. . . but there's no happy endings. . . i guess there will never be. . .-Jerissa H.

Dear Ellen, you're books are amazing. If I havent come acrossed them, I wouldn't love reading as much as I do. I've read all your books and I can't wait to read Perfect. I love how I can connect to the characters. You're writing style is beautiful, and I cannot wait for more of you're books.

We NEED your books in BRAZIL. Please, please, please.

Angel said...

Thank you! Your books have taught me so much. I started reading them when I was about 14. Now I am 19 and still reading them. I absolutely love them. I have bought everyone of your books (so far). I can't wait to get Perfect in September! It comes out two days before my birthday so ill definately have to buy myself a birthday present this year ;) lol. Your books have inspired me to take a whole new look on life. Burned is my absolute favorite. These books have taught me to expect the unexpected and to live my life the way I want to live it. These books have truely touched me in a way that I never thought a book could. Everything feels so real in these books. It feels like I am the character. Once I begin to read one of your books I can't put it down until I have finished it! I absolutely love your books. I can't wait to read more!!!

I absolutely love your books. My favroites were the crank series because I read them after my brother had an on going relatioship with the monster. You are an incredible writer and I can't wait to read your up coming books. Your poetry is very inspiring(: Your books help me open my eyes to the problems other people have and I can relate to a lot of the caracters in your books but mostly Vanessa. I hope you keep writing great books

Cathy said...

i love your book identical that i wrote a poem about it in dedication of kaleigh and her weird relationship with her father:

KIDS MAY HAVE A MONSTER
IN THEIR CLOSET
OR UNDER THE BED
I HAVE ONE
BUT HES DIFFERENT
HES TALL
HES A MAN
THAT IVE KNOWN ALL MY LIFE
SINCE THE DAY I WAS BORN
TILL THE DAY THAT I DIE
I LOVE HIM I DO
BUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY
IN A WAY THAT
SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN SET
I REGRET I REGRET
ALL OF OUR MEMORIES
I WISH YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST A DREAM
SOMETHING THAT EXISTS FOR ONLY A WHILE
A THING THAT IS DREAMPT BY ONLY A CHILD
WITH EVERY MOVE THAT I MAKE I DIE
WITH EVER STEP I TAKE I CRY
NOT MAKING SENSE IS WHAT YOU DO
WHEN EVERY NIGHT ALL YOU DO
TRY TO BE ANYTHING BUT WHAT YOU ARE
A MONSTER A HORROR
A TEAR IN MY HEART
ANYTHING BUT FAIR
ANYTHING BUT SWEET
ANYTHING THAT IS LIKELY TO BE
MY ONLY WORRY DEPENDS ON YOUR FOOTSTEPS
12 STEPS TILL MY DOOR
24 TO YOURS
I COUNT EVERY NIGHT
BUT HOPEFULLY
THE SICK ANIMAL
OUTSIDE MY DOOR
WILL SOON LEAVE
THERES A MONSTER BUT HES NOT UNDER MY BED
NO NO HES NOT IN THE CLOSET
HES OUTSIDE MY DOOR
TRYING TO GET IN
I WONT LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN
ALL MY LIFE
I TRY TO DODGE ALL THESE GUYS
WHEN THE ONLY ONE I SHOULD REALLY TRY
TO__ IS......
YOU.

Ellen Hopkins i just have to say that i absolutely love your books everytime i read them i feel like i know how each character is feeling you are my favorite author i cant wait until perfect comes out im sure it will be as good as the rest of your books :)

P.S Identical and Tricks have got to be my favorite books but you should have made Identical a little longer or a second book about what happens to Kaleigh after she finds out shes "crazy"

Anonymous said...

Ahh, I didn't think I'd really write here someday, but apparently, that someday is today. No real epiphany. Just... your books have been on my mind a lot lately.
This is another story of how I "met" your books and what impact they had on me. Just so you can know you influenced another life.
The first book of yours I read was Impulse, and that was in January this year. Since then, I have devoured Burned, Tricks, Crank, Glass, Identical and finally Fallout a few days ago.
Your books are like an anchor that helds me firmly on the ground. If I hit the rock bottom, it pulls me up. If I'm throwing a pity party because I think my life is so miserable, your books bring me back to reality. After reading them, I am glad to be who I am.

I have seen a message from your Brazilian fan, and that got me to thinking: Your books -and with them, the influence- are spreading. I am Korean. And I live in Germany. Still, I got hold of your books, and they have become a part of me.
Thank you. The circumstances that led you to the industry of publishing are not rosy, but I'm -being selfish and evil- glad you wrote Crank.

Vera said...

Mrs. Hopkins, I have read every single book and I cant wait to read "Perfect" or "Triangles". Your writing is absolutley amazing. You have inspired me in so many ways! I have never wanted to read infact before your books I only read one but as soon as I found crank I couldnt put it down. From there it was like nothing because now im finishing identical. The way you right is like you know how everyone is feeling and how everyone is going through what there going through. I could go on and on about how incredible you are but what I really want to say is dont stop writing because I wont stop reading!

Thank you,
Vera

Thank you so much for your work. i myself have been in the clutches of the monster. it took a lot for me to get off it. i hate that i cant take it back. i really came to relate to your daughter and your family's struggle. i have also felt the same way and i'm sure my family did too. i met a wonderful guy that i love and i pretty much quit for him but more importantly for myself. i was going nowhere. and i wish i can be the dream girl he wants a girl who only had like one boyfriend i hate that this drug influenced my mistakes i want to take back. i know my boyfriend thinks about the one night stands and i wish i never had them. your books also helped me realize how far this drug could have taken me. i was very close to the edge. your books have inspired me not to go to those lengths not to let the monster back into my life. i have been clean since this past new years and its July now so about 7 months. its hard sometimes i think about just another hit but i know if i do it probably wont let me go. your books have helped me realize my strength i have now over this horrible drug. my sister in fact was the one who showed me your books i read them quite a few times. i guess relating to your daughter and reminiscing what had happen to myself in the past. i even wrote a two page essay for my college class about this drug and my struggles with it. i hate the fact that my boyfriend feels kind of weird to go out with me in public thinking that i slept with a lot of people. i am not that person anymore and i wish i never touched that drug. now i have to live with the consequences and i wish that i never told my bf about any of the stuff i had done in the past. and i was sort of looking for love in the wrong places as well. one guy i started seeing after breaking up with my ex bf (after 2 years 2 months) just wanted sex and i really liked him for like a long time. so in a way i was loving the single life but not in the right way but i was also looking for a new man to love me the right way. i know i went on and on about my own life and i'm sorry i just felt so connected to your books i just finished re reading Glass because i have to give my sister her books back. thank you for letting people out there no that there's others who have felt the same way or have been in the same situation and now i know there's hope out there for me. i just hope my boyfriend will get over my past i have been faithful and have not slipped. i am anticipating Fallout as soon as i saw it i bought it and my sister cant wait to borrow it as soon as i'm done reading first of course. so thank you Mrs. Hopkins for bringing these demons into the light and showing the true side of this horrible drug.

Mrs Hopkins, I have enjoyed reading your books and have just finished reading your latest book. I have found them all to be works of art in such an insperational, smart and fun form. They have certainly changed me and my prospective of life and the troubles that arent realized that young people have to face daily. Thank you!

Mrs.Hopkins i havent finished reading all your books but i have read Crank,Glass,Fallout,Tricks, and Impulse and they all have impacted my life and my perpestive very much.

You are the only writter i deeply look up to. You mde me interested in reading too!!!! I can not thank you enough!!!!!!!

Mrs. Ellen Hopkins,
First I would like to say that your books are amazing. I read them over and over again and not only do they get better each time, they still seem to capture my attention and play with my emotions. It's so easy to get lost in your books,which is something I, and i'm sure many others, look forward to and need. Thank you for your wonderful work and i look forward to reading your latest book, Perfect.

I discovered Crank at a yard sale, I had heard of it from some youth..I read it in less than 24 hours, bought Glass on Amazon.com and I feel like I am missing movie when I'm not reading it..I love these books, a little hard to read at times, becuase they take me back to an ugly time..but I can't wait to read the rest

Brianna McAllister said...

Ahhh, Mrs. Hopkins. Your books have inspired me and filled me with so much courage, passion and strength. You're my favorite author by far and the way you understand teenagers is simply fantastic. I'll never forget the goosebumps and the tears I've shed with every book of yours I've read. I never wanted to put it down...Thank you for flipping my life around, you have no idea how much you've effected my life.
I'd do anything to shake your hand and thank you personally.

Thank you and good luck with writing,
Bree

Thank you so much Mrs. Hopkins. I read Impulse when I was in a how you saw "mental hospital" after i tried to commit sucicide. Your books have opened my eyes. I have now read all of your books except for Flirtin with the monster. They are so addicting I read each one in 2 days. thanks.

Amy Carranza said...

Hello Mrs. Hopkins, I have to say, I really love your books, since I was 14, which was last year. I was beginning high school, and I saw your books, I was commenting on how thick they were, and I checked out 3 of them, Glass, Impulse, and Tricks. I just wanted to show off to people that I can read thick books, but then I read Glass, and I loved the free verse, I only read a few pages of it, then I realized it was the 2nd book in it's series, so I checked out Crank, and it was such a great book. Then I read glass, and now I finished reading Fallout, which was awesome. I also read Impulse,Burned, and now I'm reading Identical, I can't wait to read Perfect and Triangles. Sorry I can't stop blabbering but, you are my favorite author, please don't ever stop writing.

Kaitlyn said...

Ellen Hopkins, your books have changed my life. I know that's been said about a million times, but it's 100% true for me. I've read all of your books and am dying to read Perfect. Each book has some element I can relate to, even the books that are far from my reality. Certain books, like Impulse and Fallout, are exactly what I needed to read when I read them. There was not a moment I wasn't drawn in, encapsulated, by each and every word in your books. Sometimes, like when I read Tricks, I felt so saddened for the characters that I didn't think I could continue reading. I knew, though, that each time I read one of your books I learn a valuable lesson, so I kept reading and got to the end. There is magic in your words, in the stories of Pattyn and Kristina and Vanessa, girls to whom I can very much relate. Even the boys, Tony and Conner and Hunter, I find myself longing to protect, to shield from the horrors of this world. I have been rewarded with knowledge and understanding every single time I've picked up one of your books at the store, and I cannot wait to read the ones that have not yet come out. Thanks for your wisdom.

Shae said...

Dear Mrs. Hopkins, thank you so much for your books. As a child who was abandoned by her mother when she chose methamphetamine's over her family, I have always wondered what could have made my mother chosen the path that she took over her children. With your books, I have gained answers to my questions, and maybe even closure. Thank you so much, for your books have had such a good impact on my life, and I aspire to write about my experiences as well. Once again, thank you very, very much.

Jai said...

Your books are by far the very best! I have read all the YA book you have out at the moment and cant wait for perfect to be out. I am looking forward to reading it and hopefully you continue to write many more. All your books have some kind of twist to them that just keep you asking for more. I cant stress to my friends and family how amazing your books are.

Thank you soo so much Mrs. Ellen Hopkins for sharing your talent for writing with us! I will always be a great fan!

Dark Beauty said...

Impulse. The three stories in the book will stay with me for the rest of my life.

I have been suicidal for over a year.
I thought dying would just make everything better.
Make myself and everyone else happier.
I thought nobody would care if I died.

The end of Impulse really affected me.

I grew attached to all three of the characters.
I felt like they were my friends.
I loved them.
Related to them.
Connected with them.
Understood them.
Vanessa.. Tony..... and Conner.

The ending of Impulse left me in tears.
Shock.
Disbelief.
Frustration.
Confusion.

I read Impulse a few months ago and I still feel the way I felt about the ending.

I've read your other books as well.
I loved them.
They're on the top of my bookshelf, my favorite books.

But Impulse really, really touched my heart.
No book has ever made me feel the way I felt once I finished the last page.

I wish I could change his decision.
Help him.
Fix it.
But it's too late.
Suicide is a permanent end to a temporary problem.

I was once suicidal.
Not anymore.

You saved me.
After reading Impulse, I realized that suicide does not have to be the end.

I'm still breathing.
Crying.
Smiling.
Lying.
Laughing.
Loving.
Living.

I'm still alive.
You're my hero.
Thank you.

Dear Mrs Hopkins,
Your work changed my life. Without it, I would not be here. Thank you for reaching out to people like me, and understanding us. Thank you for not making me feel like a freak, just because I'm not perfectly normal.
Thank you for helping me when no one else would.

I love your books Hopkins, and look foward to finishing the rest of the series. I just finished Burned, and have read Crank and Fallout. I look foward to reading Impulse, considering a terrifing accident that happened recently to a friend of mine here. Your books have taught me lots to know and I thank you. Look foward to Perfect coming out too! Keep writing.

Dear Ellen Hopkins

This was the first time I read a bokk about drugs otherwise I would read diffrent novels. After I read Crank it changed my life. While I was reading Crank I had so many questions in my head about my life and drugs.... hmmmmm I just hope I dont get involved with drugs. But I really loved your book Crank and right now I'm reading Glass and Im loving it so much. Thbnakyou for writing that book.

Anonymous said...

I remember when I dealt with the monster. If I could be honest I was on more than the monster. Its been 4 years since I put it away but I'd be lying to you if I said I don't have urges. Because I'm positive if I started again I wouldn't be able to stop alone. I know I am not alone now. These books like Crank and Glass they seem to be a sole reflection of me. Thank you Ellen.

WhyAmIHere? said...

You should seriously consider making a movie out of the Crank series reading about Kristina/Bree impacted me so profoundly that I broke out in tears. I have friends who have read the book and had the same if not stronger reaction to it. The character of Kristina should be brought even to life even more on the silver screen.

Thank you so much for teaching me the importance of staying clean. And helping me realize that drug addiction is the hardest thing to overcome.

Mrs. Hopkins,

I own every one of your books and i've read them all at least 5 times. They amaze me, and one of them directly affects my life. I always look forward to reading every one of your books, every time. It always brings on a new perspective for me, a new look at life and the reality it brings. You are my favorite author and I thank you for always being so absolutely inspiring.

Crank, Glass and Fallout have touched me so much. I really only have one word to describe them, riveting. There was so much. I loved them. I need to finish all of your other books. But I don't think any of them will touch me as much as the Crank Trilogy did. In your writing, I experienced what everyone was feeling, going through, and their thoughts. I have never experienced writing on that level. I thank you very much for exposing it to me.

victoria said...

i love all of your books so much. i get lost in every single one of them. and i can't wait for your new book in september to come out :) i'm so excited for it! i really hope that you continue to write books like the one's that you've already written because they're amazing. in my opinion, a good book makes you imagine the story in your head like a movie, and that's exactly what your books do to me when i read them. it's hard for me to put your books down once i pick them up. i'm currently reading fallout and i love it. i hope you never stop writing!

Dear Mrs. Hopkins, I think you're an amazing writer, your books are so powerful.

Now I've got my mother and sister reading them. You are truly a gifted writer. All though I love all the books. I still say impulse is my favorite.

ANGEL said...

Dear Mrs. Hopkins,
I cannot say that I was personally affected by these books but you have opened up a whole new world for me when it comes to reading. The stories you tell keep me on edge throughout the entire book. I would love to read it all in one day but then sadly the story would be over. I look forward to every new book your publish. I used to not read books because I felt no interest in them, but because of the excitment you have brought to your stories, I am thrilled to start the Harry Potter journey and many many more.
Thank you again for sharing your personal stories and your talent with the world. I hope you contunie doing what your doing but most of all, I hope you are enjoying it!

Hi. i just wanted to thank you for every word, every in-between the line, and every thought that was put into your books. you are my all time favorite author. i read "burned" in one day, i couldn't put it down. It's safe to say "identical" is my all time favorite book. i own "fallout" and my favorite quote is "insane heroes, super or otherwise, have to be crazy" i use it for everything. i also liked what is on the page after that it helped me through a relationship. i can't wait to read "perfect" it's marked on my calender and everything.

Thank you for being awesome, (for lack of a better word).

Becky said...

I have to say, that all of your books that I have read thus far, are amazing. I don't put them down until I read the last page, and then I start all over again. I can relate to so many of the characters in all of your books. You have a way with words, no other author that I have come across does. Thank you for being able to tell stories as well as you do, and being a captivating author. When I read your books, I feel as if I'm not alone, and someone else can relate to the things that have gone on in my life. Thank you for writing all these amazing books, and helping me realise that my past doesn't have to be my future. Thank you, Mrs. Hopkins.

Thank you so much Mrs.Ellen Hopkins for the amazing books that you have written. I picked up the book Burn first and I have read all your books since then. Each of the characters in your book has something I've gone through or I know someone who has gone through similar situations. Your writing style is amazing and I get wrapped in your stories to the point where the world disappears. I can't wait till Perfect comes out because I know it will be another story that so many of us can relate too and I know I will love every minute reading it. Thank you so much again :)

I just wanted to say that you are my favorite author and I have read all of your books. I can't wait to read Perfect, I've had it pre-ordered for months. You're amazing, keep writing and don't let anyone bring you down :)

Everything you write inspires me to be better person. I have a family member who struggles with a heroin addiction, and reading your books helped me to understand some what, of the things that go on in an addicts mind. I hope you continue writing for a long time, because I know I will continue reading! You are on of the greatest young adult authors out there, and your a great inspiration for teenagers who are going through rough things in their life! Thank you so much <3

KateCM said...

To Ellen:
I've been in the process of reading Burned. I've read Impulse, Crank and Glass so far and I've loved all of them. I get so engulfed the stories... the souls of these books and I have to admit I was never ever one for reading. This is new to me. But I feel like the people in the books are people that I know personally and it's more like friends telling me their story than reading a book. Thank you for your books... they're just so very real. You are very good at what you do. I can't wait to read the rest!!! Keep em' comin'!

Thanks again for your beautiful words and superb insight into other people's minds.

Meredith said...

Mrs. Hopkins -
Your books have changed my perspective on life and I know your harrowing stories will stick in my brain for years to come. Your books have helped me understand a friend of mine that too closely resembles Kristina in Crank. I think that now I can understand and help her even better than before, and that is more than I could ever ask for.
Thank you so much.
Meredith

I love all your books. you are an amazing writer. i love how much feeling is behind the words you use. and not only the words but how you place them on the page, rather directly from left to right- you make the strong words really pop out and send strong chills up my spine and give me ridiculous goose-bumps! Word can't describe how i felt after reading IDENTICAL for i literally jumped out of my skin for i am also dealing with an abusive acoholic mother (after the death of my father). you are an amazing, strong and moving writer, you make me feel blessed that there's people out there that understand me and what i'm going through. even though i have never met you, through your writing i practically love you!

Anonymous said...

Thank you so much for these books. I have read all of them, and they've completely changed my outlook on life. I'm very excited for "Perfect" to come out.

I related to "Impulse" very well. There were things about each character that remind me of myself very much. I think I relate most to Connor, though. People are always comparing me to others and putting me down without even realizing they're doing it. I've been battling an addiction to cutting for about a year, and I'm only thirteen. It got much worse after my boyfriend of 10 months broke up with me a few weeks ago (he left me because he felt he was too young to know what love is), and reading your books helped me get through it. Every time I wanted to cut, I'd start reading and just forget about what was wrong. Though I still have a cutting problem, your books have made it much easier to live in this awful world.
I love how your words are arranged on the page, some pages even bearing hidden messages. I love your poetic style of writing. You are a truly amazing author.

I find it amazing how you have touched so many wounded lives through your writing. Before I wrote this I skimmed and read some of the most expressional posts of the most scarred readers. Some of these readers--so close to losing themselves in their own pain--have chosen to continue thier lives because of you. Because of Crank. And Impulse. And Burned, and Glass, and Identical, and Tricks, and Fallout, and in about twelve days from now, Perfect. The words typed in these novels have imprinted themselves into the souls of your readers through thier eyes and the feel of the paper beneath thier fingertips. I can't say that I have ever been as close to the edge as some of your readers, but I have to say that no matter how disgusting they--or you-- may find it, I envy them their ability (curse?) to connect to your books at the level that they have. You may have already heard this, but you've saved lives, and I prompt you to save more.
