Product Description
For over twenty-five years, Ellen Raskin’s Newbery Medal-winning The Westing Game has been an enduring favorite. It has sold over one and a half million copies. This highly inventive mystery involves sixteen people who are invited to the reading of Samuel W. Westing’s will. They could become millionaires-it all depends on how they play the tough and treacherous Westing game, a game involving blizzards, burglaries, and bombings! Ellen Raskin has made a remarkable cast of characters in a puzzle-tangled, word-twisting plot filled with humor, intrigue, and suspense.

This book really sucks. There is no “murder”, there is no “killer” there is no anything. This book is written for tiny children who are not mature enough to handel a real muder mystery novel in which a name ACTUALLY dies.
The only forms of violence at all in this book is when stupid Turtle kicks somebody and a present explodes….thats it. I’m not adage that the book has to be super gory and violent but if its a “murder” mystery then there kind of needs to be a murder not some stupid small contest.
The ending is sooooooo anti-climactic that its sad, you read this whole book and you reflect that your going to find out who murdered Mr. Westing but as it turns out….there is no murderer, Mr. Westing is really alive he’s the bellhop and some additional guy in “disguise” ohhh how scary a disguise… (there, I just saved you time and money).
Please, save yourself the money and buy a better detective novel, like Sherlock Holmes etc. This book sucks.

My third book I read for trimester three was The Westing Game written by Ellen Raskin. The main conflict in the book was a lot of people trying to find out who killed Sam Westing. Whoever finds out who killed Sam Westing got over one million dollars in cash prize.
I disliked everything about this book and it didn’t keep my attention at all because it was so dull. I thought that this book was not exciting to read at all. I thought this because it was very hard to follow and was really dull. I did not feel in the book at all because I couldn’t make many relations to it and it was really dull. The main conflict did not interest me at all. I felt this way because there was no huge point to it and it was very confusing to follow along. I thought the characters were to some extent real. I thought they were to some extent real because they seemed like a normal person at some parts in the book. I reflect that the ending of this book was very disappointing. I felt this way because I disliked the book so much that by the time I got to the end of the book I didn’t even care what happened.
The leader had a narrative voice and at some points she would talk as the characters. The leader used vocabulary in an appealing way because she had a lot of basic words and out of nowhere she would have a hard word. I thought that the hard words were not needed in the book because they were shocking and I would just marvel why they were there. I reflect she had a very unique writing style. She liked clarified dull parts of the book way to much and then it was really dull. Sometimes in an okay part of the book she would not clarify it enough and I would get mad. The leader uses dialogue in a very dull way. She uses way too much dialogue and it made the book dull and hard to follow because you would get confused with who was talking. I reflect that this leader did a horrible job writing this book. I despised how she wrote and she made this book very dull for me to read.
I give this book a two out of ten. I give it this rating because it was a very dull book but once in a while there was a excellent part that was worth reading. I also give it this rating because some parts of the book were really confusing and dull that they were hard to follow. I recommend this book to no one at all unless you like to read really dull books that can’t keep your attention for over ten minutes.
Out of all the books I have read this book had to be by far the most dull book I have ever read. This book was a disgrace. Reading this book gives me a very terrible impression of the leader and I hope none of her additional books are as terrible as this one was. Something I didn’t mention in previous sections were that everyone in the game to find out who killed Sam Westing were part of a five tale tall apartment building. This is vital because Sam Westing died in the apartment building so they knew for sure that the person who killed him had to live in one of the apartments.

This was a very dull book. The book talked the talked..alot but it did not walk the walk. Even with the books unintersting parts there where a FEW intersting tidbits. I did this book for my class and ongoing to sleep in many parts. Some of the events were fun but only some. There was bombings, murders, fake murders, a devestating future and the brillance of the heirs bright like a cristal and ofcource the pages and pages of leaving me in the dark. you dont find anything out untill the last few pages. do not belive what the back of the book says you don’t “hold all the anwsers”. The plot of the book is simple. Find the Killer and get all my things. Is it so simple when one of your own is the killer? Could it be your sister, your mother, your best friend, it could be anyone. And now time to spoil the ending.. THE KILLER OF MR. WESTING IS THE ONE AND ONLY

My name is AF and I will review the book The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. I despised when you establish out Sam Westing was four people. It was so confusing, I didnt get it for a while. When you establish out Sandy was Sam and all the heirs didn’t know. It took place in the Westing house but mostly in the Sun Set Towers. All the heirs of Sam Westing were accused of murder. The heirs played the game to get his inheritance. The clues all pointed to Crow as the killer.
