Walter Dean Myers’ novel, Monster, is extremely detailed in both the main characters point of view and the point of view of others throughout the story. As a visual to write, Myers goes into the deepest detail so the reader can feel as they are experiencing the story itself. Myers explains in a series of questions provided at the end of the book that inspiration came from similar men with similar lives, yet all compiled into one book. The effort put into the book doesn’t stop there. Questioning judges, lawyers, and prosecutors had a part to write this book, leaving readers wondering whether or not this was reality in the judicial system. Walter, ever since a young age had a passion for writing. His highschool years were just as encouraging
