Book 1: The Westing Game - Ellen Raskin



The Westing Game follows the story of sixteen people who gather for the reading of Samuel W. Westing's will. When read it is revealed that they will have to win a game to get his inheritance. But it is also revealed that there is a murderer in they're midst. The group turns into pairs and each pair is trying to win the inheritance while also trying to find out who the murderer is. 



Alright so I actually finished this book in January but I'm an idiot and completely forgot to write a review. So I'm going to do my best to remember my thoughts on the book. I apologize for the horrible review. I picked up the westing game because after finishing Ready Player One I really wanted another book like it with a hint of mystery. I have to say this was not one of my favorites. There was way to many characters to keep up with who was who. The characters all felt a little flat. The mystery is one of those ones you figure out before they characters do. But the end was really cute. Its a really short read so if you don't have anything else to read pick it up and you'll finish it in less than a day.



The Westing Game gets 2 out of 5 stars.
