Monster by Walter Dean Myers
1.0
Monster is a story told through a combination of testimonies and journal entries. The premise of this novel took place in both a court room and a jail cell. The main character, Steve Harmon, is on trial for being an alliance in a murder. It [the murder] took place on the 22 of December, while the trial is happening in the present.
This book was short and ok. It didn't do a whole lot to wow me. The way it was written got annoying after a while. Many of the characters in this book were cliché and predictable. I felt as though each person could have been elaborated on more, because what was presented was limited and obnoxious. This made it difficult for me to connect with the story. And when I put it down I didn't find myself dying to pick it up again. It is interesting, but I don't think I'll read it again.
