What is the author's style in Monster by Walter Dean Myers?

Myers structures the novel in a similar way as a story told in a journal and also through a screenplay. The parts that are representations of Steve's actual notebook make up the journal. The screenplay adds drama and images while moving the action forward. Illustrations placed strategically throughout the novel add impact and flag important changes in Steve. These techniques save explanatory passages by creating mood with Steve's handwriting and providing images to study. The book gives credit for the illustrations to Christopher Myers, the author's youngest child.
