I thought that the book was really good, I liked the fact that we were all quessing, and that we never really knew teh answer. I would probabally read it again and like try to figure it out again. I want to see the movie.

By the way just to let everyone know you put the caps on when you use the letter I. Anyways I personally did not like the book and not for some of the reasons others gave. It was easy for me to follow and I understood it quit well. So the only thing I have to disagree with is the ending and to a book the ending is everything. Agree? I hope so. I mean who wouldn't go around telling their close friends they won money. Everyone loves money, so why didn't she ever tell anyone including her husband? I would love to know the answer to that little question. So in conclusion no I would not recommand this book to anyone... at all.

P.S. please children read you comment before sending it.

I thought the book was very good except the fact that it was confusing but I did like the fact that it was a murder mystery book and the book did make more sense so it is very good.

I thought the Westing Game was confusing. I still don't understand why Turtle won. The Westing Game was most likely the second worst book I read.

this book was ok i thought that the book was very wired but it turned out to be really good at the end i look on the enternet and i ruend it because i new who won but dont do that but over all it was ok

I think that the Westing Game book was kinda confusing, i guess. ummmm i didnt really like it and i dont ever want to read a mystery book again. they are wayyyy to confusing!!!

Anonymous said...

Hey what sup its me hey i really liked the book it was pretty confusng at times but it had a good story behind it. I really liked the ending the best with like what happened to the heirs and everything. Mostly i liked that Turtle was the only one who new about Mr. Eastman and all that cool stuff!!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

this book was soooo hard to folow and i thought it was even more confusing when mrs.hamp tried to help us. i think it would have been easyer to read it at my own pase and not a chapter a day. the mistery was confusing but in the end i injoyed reading it twice to under stand it better.

Anonymous said...

I Liked the Westing Game just because it was a mystery and i really liked how you had to find out who everyone really was. I whish it had a little more of what happened at the end of the book so you would know a little bit more

yo its G. speaking here and the book was sooo confusing allot of my questions were not answered at all and i hope that we read a better book in 8th grade but we had to do it and it gave me points in A.R. so whatever helps helps and u should take what u can get for grantit hahahahahahh. oh and btw the book was also a little interestring because of how mr. westing put the clues together and finally telling them that julian R. Eastmen was him. the beest part was how he is giving his factyory to turtle cus she is the one that one the game its sorta like charlie and the chocolate factory when charlie buckkkettttt wins mr. wonkas whole entire factory that was awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everybody! This is Caitlyn B. speaking. I mostly liked the Westing Game. Sometimes there was so much suspense I couldn't wait to read the next chapter. I liked the book as a whole, and I wouldn't mind reading it again. There were only two parts I did NOT like: I did not like the ending because I did not think it was a good ending with Turtle teaching Alice how to play chess. I also would have rather read a book at my own pace. I like reading a lot better that way! Well Bye, Everyone!

Hi i thought the book was confusing and it was hard to keep up with what was going on. but if you like a book with a good mystery in it this is the one for you!

Anonymous said...

i thought it was a really great book. you should do more mysteries. turtle was my favorite character. it was hillarious that she liked to kick people in the shins.

Hey this is Heather.... I love the westing book it was very exciting.

Anonymous said...

Well, to behonest. I really hated the book. It was very confusing and there were to many charecters. I had no idea what the mystery was and i dont really think it was a mystery. So i did not like the book very much. To respond to jacquelines comment i really didntlike the ending either but can understand why she didn't tell anyone about the money. She was afraid she whould get swarmed by everyone asking for money, and that is was to many people to get swarmed by.

I personally couldn't make to many connections with the book. I found it unrealistic, but I did like the characters. Overal I think it was an OK book.

Matthew G said.........Sorry Mrs. Hamp, I forgot and my Mom didn't know until she got the info. direct yesterday. I liked the book - it was one of the best ones we have read, but I would have liked it better if there weren't so many characters to keep track.

The Westing game book was very interesting and confusing. It was a very good book and it had a lot of good parts but there also was a lot of boring parts when you felt like you were going to fall asleep. other then that it was a good book.

The Westing Game book was really confusing at first. Then once I got to the end of the book it got better. I think it's cool how it's a mystery book. The book sort of good i guess....but then again i think it's stupid how Sam Westing was playing games with everyone and he pretended to be 4 people.lol that's kind of ridiculous...

Anonymous said...

This Amelia L, although i thought the book was very clever i did not enjoy it as much as some people did.I thought it had too many little bits and pieces of clues. However I do think that it was very well thought out.

The westing game book was a very mysterious book. It kept you guessing till the end.Sam Westing was a smart man who would not stop the game till someone won.I did like the movie more than the book though.I liked the movie more because Sam did'nt die.
