Have you seen the trailer for the upcoming Netflix book to movie adaptation of Monster? Monster is based on Walter Dean Myers’ 1999 young adult novel of the same name, and is executive produced by Wright, Jones, and John Legend. The novel was a finalist for the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature, as well as a nominee for the Coretta Scott King Award for Authors.

Looks interesting. I have to admit, not a fan of the book. The style didn't grab me, though I feel like the story had a good premise. It was pretty much written to become a movie anyway.

I'm surprised the finally did it they been talking about making this into a film almost as long as they have been talking about the coldest winter ever.

The book was okay to me I might still watch the movie

I wonder why it took 3 years to get this movie out to the masses with a big name cast. It premiered at sundance in 2018.

The cast alone is making me want to watch it, never read the book though.

I skipped the level of English where everyone else read this, so I never got the chance to read it in school. Kind of don’t want to. Sounds depressing. I’ll watch the movie, though.
