Book Review
RWW
The title of this book is called Monster by Walter Dean Myers. This book is about a murder in a drugstore in New York. The main character, Steve, is innocent but gets accused of murdering the store owner, Mr Alguinaldo Nesbitt. The gang, including James King, Osvaldo Cruz, “Bobo” Richard Evans, and Steve Harmon, are all involved in the robbery and murder. The story is told from Steve’s point of view after he gets arrested. The rest of the story takes place in a courtroom and a jail and various other locations.
I liked that there was some mysterious aspects to the book and that there was an element of suspense in the story as well. My favorite part of the book was when Steve throws a rock at a pole and he misses and hits a tough guy and his friend runs away. My least favorite part is when he is in the death chamber and he gets prepared for the lethal injection.
I would recommend this to people who like prison stories and to people who like mysteries. I wouldn’t recommend it to an age group where little kids would read such as 9-12 and I would recommend it to kids in the ages of 14 to 16. I would give it a 4 star rating because theres a good storyline but it gets a little confusing sometimes but overall its a good mystery book.
