Monster


Monster is a fast paced and very suspensful book by Walter Dean Myers that fills you with questions and makes you think everything about whats going on. It all starts out with Steve Harmon, a 16 year old that was convicted of shooting Mr. Nesbitt, a Gas station manager that was held up by robbers. He sits inside his dark depressing cage of a cell waiting for court to ruin his life. But he has a chance to get out with his lawyer Kathy O'Brien and his family which gives him faith throughout the book. Now he has to wait and try too keep himself together hopeing that the jury will choose his side.
This book is a great book that has nail-biting suspense and makes you read through the whole book right away making it a fast fast read. so I give this book a 7 out of 10 only because the author didnt really make feel like reality and it was more suitible for teens which kinda brought down the book for me. But it is a great book for people that are fans of suspensful books.
