Lower the price then we’re good. Love the book!! Just lower the price a bit.

Gets more suspense every second!. This book was a great book. My class read this as a read aloud and it was sooo fun! This book made me like Murder Mystery books. And the twist at the end was CRAZY!

Amazing Book. You probably should be at least in middle school before attempting this book. Although it's a great read for all ages, it is very complex and may be difficult for younger readers to fully comprehend. Ellen Raskin has created a page turning, surprise filled mystery that you have to read. There are so many hidden clues in this book, and then ending is such a surprise. The mysterious connections between people, money, and the way the wind blows makes for one of the best plots I've ever read. I highly recommend this book! It's awesome!

Love. I love this book such a plot twist

nice, but confusing. Overall I love this book! It is such a great mystery that has you on the edge of your feet. But at some times it can be extremely confusing and boring. But it's a great book!

THIS BOOK IS AWFUL. This book is awful it's so awful(x100) :)

Best book. I first read it in 6th grade an I love it

Amazing. This book was excellent I have read it twice and I am going to read it a third time very soon the mysterious element was done perfectly

Loved the Book. I read it at school and figuring out the mystery with my friends made it that much better. I love the fact that you’re in the characters heads and how much detail the author uses to give you more information about the character so by the end of the book it’s like your friends with the characters. I also like the fact that you have to imagine the characters as chess pieces to figure out the answer and it is hilarious how many times I thought I had the answer but really didn’t. I just love the book so much and I’m gonna read it way more than once, that is for sure!

Amazing. This is an amazing book and I really recommend this book for teacher for their kids and just to anyone else. This has an amazing combination of murder and mystery.

Not my favorite. I sort of liked it at some parts, but it wasn’t my favorite read.

Best mystery book!. This book has so many red herrings and its so interesting!

Sad 😢. I honestly loved this book. But sadly it was really really short it's around 209 pages and it's so good you never wan it to stop.

10/10 Recommended!!!. I read this in fifth grade and although I had to take a lot of notes to figure out the clues it was the best book I have ever read. I would totally recommend it to anyone who can take a good mystery!

YESSS!!!. i read this book in school and i absolutely loved it! it is so cool! so my mom said i can buy it on here!!

Westing game. Just pulls you in

Best Mystery Book Of 2016 I Read So Far!. I read this in my school, and I loved it SO much! If it could be free, I would ABSOLUTELY get it! It's amazing! I want to get it at the library! I'm going to 100% give it 5 stars! Ellen Raskin, you have made a book that's amazing! I want to find more great mystery books, but this is #1! Right on!!!! Or should I say, write on!!!! 😍😍😍😍

Wonderfully Imaginative. I read this book as a child and now as an adult. I still have to say that this is one of my favorite books of all time. The unique turns and twists in each chapter keep you guessing all of the time.

Boom. Awesome great book you'll NEVER guess

For Meghan Colyle. Ahem, “it took me 2 months for me to read,””I read a lot” yeah naw I finished in 2 hours and I can finish about 9 books a month (500 pgs) so yeah wrong but this book is awesome little confusing at first but now it’s obvious. #RIPbozo

UNEXPECTED ending. I was like “okay, okay…” throughout most of the book, right until the end. What a twist! Super complex, but somehow you can still easily understand it. Each character is unlinked any other. You get to know to every one of them, even the murderer. 😉 10/10

Murder Mystery. A great read, sort of confusing. Fun to guess who killed Sam Lots of Mystery, a must read

Great book!!!. I had to read it for school, but I'm really glad I did. I enjoyed it a lot and I loved the ending. Worth the $5!

one of the best books i have ever read. this book is absolutely amazing and i recommend it. i enjoyed reading it so much and it was such a good story.

Great book. Good book.

Amazing!!!!😄😄😄😄😄. This is a really good book I think anyone who like games and solving mysteries from book then this is the book for you! I got it for Easter 2014 and I lost it so I can't read it again but it is still really good and you guys MUST READIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No joke.😄😄😄😄😄

Love it. I loved this book so much. I have read it about 7 times. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great So Far. I have to read this book this summer for my middle school assignment and it is great so far

OMG. This book had such a plot twist

The westing game. This is an amazing book. You must be patient and let it all reveal itself. You must pay attention to every single detail, every single detail I repeat. It will come back in the story. This book is one of my favorite books ever, but I was a little confused at first. This is why I say you have to pay attention to every detail. Once you finish this book you will agree.

Ok, but. The end is angering, and I saw all the plot twists and answers to the clues from a mile away.

GREAT BOOK. this is such a great book. That’s all I can say. It’s suspenseful and fun. I love all the characters especially Turtle. The writer did a great job writing the book.

Love it. I think everyone should read it I got my money’s worth

A multi-time read story. The first time that I read this book I was in 5th grade, and I do not regret it one bit! It is such a great book although it's a tad bit confusing. There are several characters and that makes it slightly difficult, but once you get all of them into their place, it's easy to understand. It's a book for anyone who loves a good mystery.

What a read. I didn't like putting my iPad down for the night. The book keeps you guessing and leads you down a bunch of paths. I really enjoyed this book and glad I purchased!

GREAT BOOK. Great book but a little long and very suspensful

The best. It is the best book I have ever read in a long time

Bautgvfcrc. Awesome book wishes there was a second or even third book.

The Westing Game. The best book I have ever had I love it so much

Great. My teacher recommended to me and I fell in ❤️ with it

Fairly good. Interesting plot and conflict but it is in third person omniscient so it's easy to lose track of characters especially since there are so many.

Stupid. Its stupid.I hate it. JK I love this book. I didnt what rating to give so i gave one 

Amazing book. This book made me rethink everything I thought I knew about a thousand times. It has a very very satisfactory ending and I wish there was a sequel

Amazing. It was really good I loved all the mysteries that came with it.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ it made me cry.😭😭😭😭😭😭

Pot. Is good lol

Great Book. Every one should read This book it's a great book of mystery and xi

Awful book. So confusing waste of time nothing makes sense do not buy this book you will regret it. The whole idea is confusing Ella Ruskin did not think it through

This is an oldie, but a goodie. I read 1-2 chapters each day and I would always want to read more! This author has left many great cliff hangers in her book and has great for-shadowing on her book! I loved this book SO much, I’m glad she has other books!

Amazing!. This is one of the best books I have read in a while! It has so many diverse and interesting characters that I got very attached to. It will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page, guaranteed!

Good. This is a very good book. It is a bit confusing though so I would recommend it to people 12 and up
