I am a person that rarely finds a book I can't stop reading. In that matter, Monster is a very different book than most. Also, it captures the rarely touched aspect of being tried in court in an ordinary setting. For these reasons, and for the brilliancy of writing it as a movie, Monster is an amazing book.It is about a black man named Steve Harmon, who is in a jail cell, being tried on court for felony murder, which would place him in bars for 25 years to life. It is written in notes by Steve in the form of a movie accounting his experience. Through notes and script, Myers brilliantly writes about what it is like being in jail, and being the defendant in a trial. Being a book I, the person who almost always can close a book, could not drop, I highly reccomend this book to anyone and doubt they could close the cover of this book.
