Monster: A Graphic Novel

Interesting format. I didn't really “believe” this book, the idea that a sixteen-year-old boy was facing life in prison for allegedly acting as a lookout for a robbery gone wrong. The crime did not seem to match the threatened consequence.

I also disliked how little insight we got into the characters' minds, and how Myers chose to leave the actuality of the main character's guilt ambiguous. This story is a story told for the sole purpose of making a point, rather than for the point of telling a story, which is not a technique that tends to resonate well with me.
