Summer Reading Entry Two

One thing about Monster that really sets it apart from other books is the way it is written. The book seems as if its a screenplay with Steve's journal or thoughts between the different scenes this I think makes this book unique which I like. As I read this book i do think it is a lot like other books and movies that have a court theme like Monster. In the book obviously all the criminals main intentions are to try to lower their sentences and if at all possible stay out of prison but what I think is more interesting is the intentions of the other major characters like Steve's attorney who in my opinion genuinely wants to help Steve get out of the mess he's in by showing how different his character traits are as compared to the other three criminals but then it would appear that the assistant district attorney wants to see the lot of them rot in prison seeing as how she calls them monsters.
