Book Review of Monster

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is of a teenage boy who struggles with the concept of right and wrong and begins to realize that the line between the two is not quite so clear-cut. He also struggles with his own identity as he is exposed to the biases, assumptions, and judgments of those he interacts with. The book is humorous, highly entertaining, and a quick read but it also asks you to think about the same conflicts that the main character struggles with.

Just a heads up: it can be confusing at times as the format jumps from narrative to journal to movie script and there are flashbacks in the movie script.
