Why Monster

Before reading this novel I was wondering what book am I going to pick for my summer reading assignment. Scrolling down the list of books I have to choose from, none of any interest to me. Here I am wondering if there even is a good action book on the list that will keep me on the edge of my seat. Then I come across Monster, the cover photo on the book intrigued me, as I have never seen a book with a cover photo as a mugshot. Also by looking at the title the word monster comes to me as a heroic storyline within a movie or book that a see or read, but along with the heroic storyline comes times where there is action packed into the book. Me knowing this and all the things that came into my head by glancing at this book allowed me to have some interest in the book and even more pick it up and read it.

          I had no personal connection with this book after reading it. I don’t want to spoil a lot but this book involves the justice system, and I have not had any experiences with the justice system or anything of that nature, making me immune to connecting personally with this novel.
