My book review on The Westing Game

                    When thinking of a mystery book, what do you think about? A book that has action it and a murder you have to solve perhaps. Maybe even a book with a completely unpredictable ending. If this is your form of a great mystery book The Westing Game is for you! Everything listed in your answers will be in the book.
                   Throughout reading the book one line keeps being repeated by all the characters. "It's not what you have it's what you don't have that counts." This is said in the will of the "dead" man. This is a very important statement that must be remeber throughout the whole book. The will is thought to be true and had to be followed, it was not. Nothing in the will was right, not even the clues. The clues were only words to a song. Everything was to get their brains thinking and in the end when you find who the heir is, I personally garentee you did not see it coming. Nothing you believe to be true is!
                 "The murderer is far too cunning for my heirs to notice" This is too said in the will of the "dead" man. You see this little quote is ironic. Maybe it is ironic becuase, THERE WAS NO MURDERER! The so called "dead" man was faking his death to see what everyone would do. He wanted people to believe that he died so that they would convict his wife of the murder. To know this you would have to read the story but in short this is what happened. They had a child who was a girl. She wanted to marry someone but they broke them up. His wife was the reason for them to be broken up. After they broke up their child killed herself. This is why he believes his wife indirectly killed their daughter and wanted her to go to jail.
               This book gets you mind thinking in a way that you did not think it could. It pushes your thinking process to the brink.Nothing you think to be true in the book is. This book is like nothing you ever read before. You will love the way this book is though. The character really come to life in this book. It is almost like you are in the book and the characters are the people around you. They are explained so greatly and instead of changing through the book they stay constant. No other book that i have read recently did this.
             I would highly recomend this book to anyone who enjoys reading. One thing you would have to do while reading is arite a couple notes. I am not saying that you have to write a book review on every chapter but a few notes are needed. There are many characters in this book. I find that this fact gives it a better story becasue you have to think. in short if you want a good book to read, I reccomend this book.
