Troy Davis | 7 comments I just finished reading Monster by Walter Dean Myers. It is about a sixteen year old man named Steve Harmon, and he is on trial for the murder of the owner of a convenient store. It takes place in the New York City area. There is also James King, on trial for the same murder, Osvaldo Cruz, and 'Bobo' Evans, all accused of being involved in the murder. The theme of the story seemed to be that you shouldn't stereotype someone else just becuase of what they look like or where they live.

I rate this book a 4 out of 5 becuase it made me want to keep reading and find out whether Steve is found guilty. However, the way the story is formatted is kind of confusing becuase there are no chapters and the movie script style writing was odd. All in all, This is a good book that has a great plot and characters even though the writing style is a little weird.
