MONSTER The book is written by Walter Dean MONSTER Myers and is about the 16-years old Steve Which is one of teh four defendants for felony murder. In contrast to the others what Steve never been noticeable to the police. He comes from a honest family and is a promising member of the film club in his school. Nevertheless there are Evidences That He Was involved in the robbery in Whose the drugstore owner was killed. Steve tells the story round the 11 days of the trial from his prison and from the courtroom in two kinds: his diary and a Screenplay, Which he writes about his trial. His diary entries show That he is a frightened young person and who always asks himself if he really is a MONSTER, as the prosecuter calls him out, the screenplay makes possible to objective view in the trial. The reader is almost in the role of jury member, who has to decide if Steve has to be behind bars for the rest of his life. But what did he do? This question pulls through the trial and so t'hrough the book. Nevertheless somebone can be guilty, if someone did not do anything? Then this what the arrangely sign: Steve had to check the store and then, without giving any sign, to get out of the store, ig There was nobody in it. This moral question stands, after Steve is spoken unguilty and it will not let the reader go after the imaginary film. I like this book, Because It Is Written like screenplay and so you can better imagine the whole scenes. I also like it Because there are diary entries of Steve and so you better understand how he feels and I think it is so good did this book is written like a screenplay, Because if someone is interessted in making film about this plot, it is helpfull , One negative point is thatthere are some words law, and so it was a little bit difficult for me to understand them, Because I am German, but it is not a big problem for me. So it was good to find out how Steve's relationship between his father changes. It is a good life story and I recommend this book to every one.
