I had the awesome opportunity to download free audio of Walter Dean Myers' Monster through Audio File and SYNC. I listened to Monster yesterday, which includes a full cast of characters. If you are not familiar with the book, the protagonist, Steve Harmon, writes about his experience in jail as a screenwriter to turn into a movie. He is charged with felony murder; if found guilty, he would received the death penalty or 25 to life in prison. The cast did a fabulous job reading the story. Some audio puts you to sleep; however, I was engaged the entire time. It is a great story showing how a simple mistake, such as associating yourself with the wrong "acquaintances," can impact your life in a negative way. It is a caution to think about the choices you make and the consequences that will follow. If you don't, it could be your life on the line. |
