Monster - Exciting !!!

The book is about a 16 year-old boy, called Steve Harmon who is accused of felony murder.
It's written as a script. From time to time there are passages Which are written as a diary entry. These passages are very personal and They tell us very much about his feelings. The script is formal and unpersonal. It only shows the development of the trial. Sometimes it's very hard to read, Because of the slang of the actors. Several aspects are Mentioned. On one hand the way Steve's family goes alongwith did and on the other hand the way Steve goes alongwith the situation in jail. The layout is very untypical. The letters are very big and sometimes handwrittetn. To get picture of Steve there are a few photographs of him.
Even towards the end questions are left opened.
For Example why Steve has lied on the witness stand, if he has to get a harder punishment and so on. The reader has to think about thesis questions.
My Opinion Is that the book is easy to read and very realistic, Because of the authentic way the trial is Described and the daily crime Which happens day by day in the streets of New York.
It's very exciting to see how somebody feels and acts in a situation like Steve's.
