Monster-Book Review

The book Monster by Dean Myers was not a book I would highly recommend. It was a pretty good book but it did not make me want to read more. Something unusual about the book was that it was written in a movie format. Also it did not have chapters and usually ended with a journal entry. The mail plot was about a 16 year old boy who is accused of murder. He says that he did not do it but know one really knows. He is put in jail until we know if he is lying or not. He really hates it there and really wants to get out. I did not learn anything except maybe not to get in jail because it does not sound like fun. Some connections that I have is that I know how Steve feels because sometimes I get accused of something I did not or maybe did and I guess that is how Steve feels. Another connection I have is that since Steve’s parents come to see him I know someone else that does that. The person that is mentioned the most is Steve. He has a family witch consists of a mom, a dad, and a little brother. Another character is King and Mr. Evens. They are both also accused of the murder. They are not as nice as Steve
