Summer reading project: entry one: Monster by Austin Sewell

The book that I choose to read was Monster by Walter Dean Myers. Some of the major characters in this book were Steve Harmon who is the main character in the book. Steve is sixteen years old and a black man who was arrested for acting as the look out in a robbery that goes bad. Other main characters are Kathy O'Brien who is Steve's defensive attorney. Another main character was Sandra Petrocelli who was the assistant district attorney. Other main characters in Monster are James King, Richard Evans, and Osvaldo Cruz. The setting in Monster is the book takes place in Manhattan and Harlem, New York City. The main conflict in this book is a sixteen year black boy named Steve Harmon finds himself on trial for murder after being accused of being a lookout for the guys that actually rob the Harlem drug store and kill the store owner. This book is a really good book so far I predict that Steve will get away with this. I really enjoy reading this book because it is really good and it is really similar to a lot of movies and TV shows that I see out there. I also really like how the pages are a lot shorter so I don't get overwhelmed with a lot of words. I really look forward to finishing up this book and getting into the ending of it to see how it finishes up.
