This is book is titled "Monster" and is written by Walter Dean Myers. I read the first 50 pages and it is about a trial of two men accused for walking in to a store and taking cigarettes and killing the owner of the store.
Prison life described Steve Harmon is dark and scary. He says every time he tries to talk to someone they say "I'll mess you up!". He said he saw a guy that had a knife glued to a toothbrush handle. I think the most difficult aspect is people not talking to you and being very grumpy, because I like everyone to be nice to everyone.
The setting makes the novel more dark and gritty, because the setting is jail and people are so mean to each other and in the book it explains a fight between to people.
I predict that Steve is going to get in a big fight and he will hate the jail a lot more, because people are being nasty to Steve.

Gritty is a nice adjective to use when describing the novel. It is pretty rough so far. L
