The
first thing that caught my eye when I was looking for a summer reading book was
definitely the title, Monster. For the
title being only one word, it really got my attention. On the cover, Monster,
is written in all caps and creates a dark and suspenseful feeling to the book
before I even started reading the book. The first connection I made to my book
is that I am almost the same age as Steve Harmon. He is already 16 and I’m 15. Another personal connection that I can make
is that Steve always kept faith in himself no matter how bad things got and that’s
something I have to do when I am in tough situation.
I
really liked Monster by Walter Dean Myers and I definitely would recommend it
to most of my friends. Especially to my
friends that have an interest in someday working in the court system; such as
becoming a lawyer. Honestly, I would
recommend this to almost anyone in my grade because most of us are almost 16 or
turning 16 which is the same age as the main character, Steve Harmon. Overall I
very much enjoyed reading this book as my summer novel.
