Date of Review:  Mar 18, 2000
Review: I read The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin for school. I read it before anyone else in my class because I couldn't put it down. Almost everybody read ahead.

Well, We Could Have Gotten Some Murders...

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2004
Review: The Westing Game is a stylish book filled with suspense and humor. Now, this book won the Newberry medal, but it wasn't full of murders...and there were too many characters to confuse you. But still, I had to go through some suspense to finish this...

A Great Book

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2000
Review: This is a terrific book for kids to read. It is an involved mystery that not only provides an entertaining story, but also encourages readers to try to figure out the solution.
The story is about a group of people who all live in the same...

Delightfully silly!

Date of Review:  Jun 24, 2000
Review: DO NOT TAKE THIS BOOK SERIOUSLY! That said, enjoy it! It is funny and smart and creative--a puzzle mystery in which the reader has all of the clues, but heck if we know what to do with them! The characters are very well-drawn and larger-than-life...

This Game is Better Through a Child's Eyes

Date of Review:  May 16, 2000
Review: As a child, this book enthralled me. The characters were quirky. The puzzle was intriguing. The suspense was high enough to keep me turning the pages, but not so high that it gave me nightmares.

As an adult, I found it contrived, blatant,...
