Will the 16 heirs find out who the murder is or will there even be a murder?
Good book!
I really love this book. I found out that it existed by a mention in the book, The Parker Inheritance by Varian Johnson. I love the Parker Inheritance so I checked it out of my school library. I read mostly fiction with magic in it so reading some mystery was a very interesting experience for me. Turns out the Westing Game is awesome!!! So many plot twists!!! The book, Mr Lemoncello's All-Star Breakout Game states, "Every book needs a beginning, middle, and, most importantly, a plot twist." I also love the Mr Lemoncello's Library series. Just if you need a recommendation 😊.
The only part I really liked about this book is that there is suspense, action, and mystery. The plot and events were ok, but otherwise it's a good book.
I love this book and right now I am reading it for EY reading and it’s so good why did you choose to write about it?
Hi everyone! (Dont mind my username I’m not a baby... just... dont ask 😂 ) This, i think, is probably my FAVORITE book ever. I do feel like it is for older people. (Grades: 4-7) But you should DEFINATELY read it before seventh grade. I own the book and I end up reading it OVER and OVER again! If you like mystery’s and suspense, this is the PERFECT book for you! 😂 😁 ❤️ Each time i read it again, i figure out some other detail i missed. Just be sure not to read it at night! Eek! 👻 YOU MUST READ!!!! Comment on what you think of it!
I rate this book a 3 star because it shows a good way of showing confusing mysteries that will befuddle you. Also I made a connection because I love mysteries and trying to find them out. Sam Westing's fortune are brought together at his mansion in order to solve his secret through clues. Sixteen heirs play the game to win the fortune; in addition, there are a few other characters who are not part of the game. This is my review on this book!
The Westing Game is an awesome book with many complex mysteries. In fact, if you think about it , the whole book is one gigantic mystery! Do you think you'll be able to solve it?
I really liked it, the book was really interactive and it was really eye catching I loved the suspense and the drama going on. By far the best book I have ever read!
