Corbin Sharkey's Review

.

In the book the Westing Games by Ellen Raskin, 16 different heirs are competing for the westing fortune. The one problem is that one of the heirs is the murderer. they are competing for $2,000,000

One characters that I think is relate to is Madame Sun Lin Hoo. The one thing we both like to to do is cook. In the book Mrs. Hoo is working in her husbands restaurant Shin Hoo's Restaurant as the cook. When I am at home I like to pretend I am working in a restaurant flipping burgers and cooking other meals.

I really liked the book because I liked the mystery of who killed Sam Westing and who got the $2,00,000. My favorite characters was Turtle Wexler because she was protecting herself by kicking people like a horse. Turtle was also looking for the person who killed Sam Westing.

Luke Felsner's Review

In the book, The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin, 16 different character are competing to become the heir of the Westing game fortune. The only problem is one of them is a murderer.

IN the story there's Turtle, Doug, Otis, Sandy, Grace, and the list goes on and on and on. The character I'd rely on would probably be Turtle because she has the most brains and always knows what she is doing. While on the other hand I wouldn't rely on is Otis because he most likely knew Sam Westing the most and from the book i heard that Sam has lots of tricks he knows of so Otis might be able to copy them and play tricks on the 15 other heirs.If i was to relate to anyone it would be Chris Theodorkis Because he has a disease and at one time  i head ADHD.

I mean yes I did indeed like the book but it had gotten very confusing. I was barely able to keep track of clue's and half the characters did nothing.

Sam Thomson's Review

In the book The Westing games by Ellen Raskin 16 different characters are competing to become a heir of the Westing fortune. the only problem is one theses heirs is a murderer!!!!!

I really like it because it was really entertaining and when you get to the page where Sam Westing is dead. You wont to know who killed him???

I love the style of the book. The narrator is then 3rd person it feels like the are talking right in front of you.

Yes the characters are believable because it seems like they are talking to you. And i live how its a mystery.

I really like the book it is full of mysteries. Well I liked Turtle, Turtle  is the best character because if you think about it she is in the center and she figured out the game. But when you get the clues its rally a song and you will figure it out it will be easy.

Michelle Lis' Review

In the book The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin, 16 different characters are competing to become the heirs of the westing fortune. The only problem is one of those heirs is a murderer!

The characters was surprise someone in that room is a murderer everyone started blaming on those people until the confusion came in at the end, the ending is very surprising that everyone gets so confused.

In this book there were 16 characters they are Otis Amber he's a he was a 62 year old delivery boy  he never gets attention he always scare everyone by saying boom. The next heir is Flora Baumbach she is a dressmaker, she was very best friends to Turtle Wexler she is very nice and very giving to Turtle. The next heir is Berthe Crow she was a maid at Sunset Towers she was married to Sam Westing everyone thought she might be the murderer but maybe not. The next heir is Dr Denton Deere he is a doctor and he was going to get married to Angela Wexler but she didn't know if she wanted to get married.The next heir is Judge J.J Ford she is the Judge of course she was very good friends with Chris Theodorkis and she is wondering who is stealing all the heirs stuff. the next heir is Alexander "Sandy" McSouthers he was a doorman he wasn't really a big character. The next heir is Doug Hoo he was a fastest runner and hes really good friends with Theo Theodorkis. The next heir is James Shin Hoo he has a restaurant called Shin Hoo Restaurant. The next heir is Madame Hoo she wasn't really a big character she just wanted to go back to China. The next heir is Sydelle Pulaski she was having a lot of attention and she was faking a broken leg but she got hurt and she really broke her leg. The next heir is Chris Theodorkis he was paralyzed and all he does is watch birds and go see Judge J.J Ford. The next heir is Theo Theodorkis he was a smart guy and he's best friends with Doug Hoo. The next heir is Angela Wexler she was going to medical school but she dropped out and she was going to get married to Denton Deere. The next heir is Grace Wexler she doesn't like Turtle her daughter very much but she loves Angela. the next heir is Jake Wexler he is a foot doctor and he loves both of his daughters. The next heir is Turtle Wexler she is best friends with Flora Baumbach and she doesn't like her mom that much. One of those heirs is a murderer and the person will go to jail.

I love this book. My favorite people was Turtle Wexler and Flora Baumbach they were like best friends. I would love to read this to my children if anyone reads The Westing Game ITS THE BEST BOOK EVER.

Westing Game

Hannah Surma

In the book,Westing Game by Ellen Raskin, 16 different characters are competing to become the heir of the westing fortune. The only problem is on of those heirs is a murder.

In the story Westing Game a little girl named trutle who gets not attenin  and sets of bomes for attention. Mr. Hoo is the owner of Shin Hoos restruant.The narrator in the story is a third person. All of the charters are fully created and yes they are sympathtic.

My opinion of the story is not well I did not like the book because it had too many clues it only got interesting at the end when Turtle found out that Sam Westing was Barney Northrub and Sandy Mcsuthers.

Chris Stier

In this book, the westing game by Ellen Raskin, 16 different characters are co meting to become the heir of the westing game fortune. the problem is one of the characters is a murder. 

The narrative was appropriate because he said good things to make the story good. the characters are not believable but they are very creative. this book is different because this book is like a mystery and other books are about normal life

My opinion of the book is not that good. I did not like it because the was to many clues in it it was to confusing.There was to many problems in it like there was three bombs and three different  characters that did it he could of made it one character.

Zach Snyder's Review

In the book, the Westing Game by Ellen Raskin, 16 different characters are competing to become the heir of the westing fortune. The only problem is one of the heirs is a murderer.

The narrator was an outsider who knew what other people were thinking and doing. I liked the character of Doug Hoo because he ran track. I didn't like J.J. Ford because she yelled and found out evidence of what peoples names were.

My opinion of the book is that I didn't really like it because it has to many clues that people can hear from another room. It was a game about money and death in the game.

Rachael Raleigh's Review

In the book, The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin, 16 different characters are competing to become the heir of the westing fortune. The only problem is those heirs is a murder! Everyone is trying to figuring out who was the murderer. By finding clues that goes with the murderer scene.

It was in a third person narrator. It show who were all of the character's are. The narrator was fully created and very sympathetic. Some were inner appropriate language. Even some of the characters genre.

I really don't like the book because their was too much going on and the clues were kind of confusing but. I hope one day the book will get better if they make another book just like The Westing Game, book but, also unconfused.

Jon Sheridan's Review

The book The Westing Games by Ellen Raskin is about 16 unique characters that are competing to become the heir of the Westings fortune. The only problem is one of the heirs is a murderer! When they find out Sam Westing died, he wanted to play one last game. They are paired up as complete strangers to beat the Westing game and receive the Westing fortune.

The narrators voice is perfect for the book because, he/she has a normal serious voice that fits right into the book. The voice doesn't sound sympathetic to the characters because when something bad happens the voice to the narrator doesn't change. Also the wording they use are descriptive and appropriate when talking about the characters.

I thought the book was great but can be predictive at times. Some parts of the book really caught me off guard. I really liked the book and I think it's a book for all ages.

Katie Setter's Review

In the book, The westing game by Ellen Raskin 16 different characters are competing to become the winner of the game. If they WIN they get a prize of $2,000.000 dollars and all by a couple clues. And there are two people on a team. 

 

 

 

I don't like the characters because none of them are like me. They are not funny, I would have won the game, I just want the money and they don't have my style.

 

I did like this book because it was a mistory and a game.they made it fun  to find out how he die or who killed him.
