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.
