Letter To The Author

Dear Walter D. Myers,

     My name is Lorenzo Hall and I read your book “Monster” and I like it. I like it because it tells about a young man going through every day things that I can relate to. I like the way Steve was going through the trial. However,I don’t like how he makes his life like a movie, and I don’t like how Steve threw the rock at the lady and then made it seem like Tony threw it. Mr. Myers how do you feel about your story? How would you live if you were Steve? How do you have time to make such a great story like “Monster?” Mr. Myers how is your life as a writer? Is it greater or worse than the average person's life, or your life before you were a famous writer?

Sincerely, 

Lorenzo Hall

Book Review

Monster

By: Walter D. Myers

     
  Monster was about a young man on trial. His name is Steve and he is on trial for a robbery and a murder. Steve is scared out of his mind  during his trial because he thinks that he is going to stay in jail for 25 years to life. Read Monster to find out if Steve is in the right place.

I like this story because Steve goes through what I believe every Black man goes through at least once in his life.
