Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Monster is a 1999 Young Adult novel by Walter Dean Myers.16-year-old budding filmmaker Steve Harmon is on trial for felony murder. He's looking at possibly spending the rest of his life in prison, due to being accused of taking part in an armed robbery which got a man killed. While trying to survive in jail, he's also writing a journal in the form of a screenplay to help in cope. Not only to deal with the horrors in prison, but to figure out his own identity — and to see if he truly is a monster.The novel was adapted to a 2018 film, titled All Rise starring Jennifer Hudson and Kelvin Harrison Jr. It premiered at Sundance, but spent three years on The Shelf of Movie Languishment before Netflix picked it up, renaming it back to Monster and setting it for a March 2021 release.Not to be confused with the telefilm Monster! (1999), or the other film or the manga.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Bittersweet Ending: Steve is found not guilty of the crime, but novel reveals that he may possibly be more culpable than he initially let on, meaning Mr. Nesbitt doesn't get complete justice. Either way, the ordeal that he's been through has left it's mark on him forever; his father keeps his distance from him and Steve is left wondering if he really is a terrible person.

Amoral Attorney: It’s indicated that Prosecutor Petrocelli doesn’t care truly about justice and wants to maintain her tough prosecutor reputation. All of her witnesses are criminals, she uses dirty strategies and she’s trying to convict a 16 year old kid with minimal involvement (possibly) in the crime to a lifetime in prison. Defense attorney O’Brien is portrayed more as an Apathetic Attorney.
