Over the summer I read the book Monster by Walter Dean Myers. It is about a boy named Steve Harman who was arrested for assist in murder. Most of the book takes place during Steve's trial. the issue is whether or not Steve was part of he gang that killed the man or if he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I really liked the story, but i also enjoyed it because the book is written as a script. For example, there will be parts where it will say randomly "WA [wide angle] shot of the prosecutor." the book was cool because you get to hear how these gang members are trying to prove that Steve was a member of the gang just to get him thrown in jail. I loved the book mostly because i'm very interested by crimes, trials, and court scenes all together. I would recommend this book to people that are interested in things like court trials, otherwise you will think this book is slow.
