Monster Reveiw

Okay, from this point, I really enjoy this book. At first I thought it was boring. It was nothing special, because they didn't really explain everything well in the beginning. But as I started to read, I LOVED IT. It was really interesting. I felt really bad for him because he was accused of being involved in a robbery. Although it was a big fight through the justice system, it ended with a happy ending.
The book, Monster, by Walter Dean Myers is about a young black 14 year old, who was accused of being a lookout in a robbery in a grocery store. The owner of the store was accidentally shot by another black man. He was sent to court because a woman accused him of it, she called him MONSTER. Steve Harmon was sent to jail and writes down what he hears, thinks, and says in a notebook. He hopes to turn it into a movie.
The holdup was held in December when 3 black men, King, Richard "Bobo" Evans, and of course, Steve Harmon. They all went to court and went through a long battle. He writes in his notebook of what happens in jail, what he thinks is going to happen, and what happens in court. After the long battle through the justice system, Steve Harmon wins, with his lawyer, O'Brien. The other two were sent to jail because they were really involved in the holdup. Steve was just in the store looking around for stuff, there was nothing against that.

I would personally recommend this book to all my friends who would want a really interesting and serious story.It would teach them a life story and would kill the time. I really love this book. I would also give it 4/5 stars.
