The novel Monster by Walter Dean Myers is a captivating fiction story of a murder trial. This book shows struggles between guilt and innocence. Told through the eyes of 16-year-old Steve Harmon the book switches from a third person and first-person point of view that lets readers look at things from different perspectives. The plot follows Steve's experience of going through a murder trial and challenges the society's perception of the legal system.
In my opinion the book is very interesting and makes you question society norms. I love how the author uses two different points of view because it lets me see how Steve feels and it lets me see things that the 3rd person point of view would miss. I also like how the plot plays out because the author makes it very interesting and makes me wonder what is going to happen till the end of the book. I would definitely recommend this book to people that like unpredictable endings and mystery.
