The 3rd & 4th graders read this at the school I work at but it was also recommended to me by some friends. I enjoyed it! You have to be in the mood for it I think though. Clever, funny characters, great dialogue.

This book was awesome! I loved it; it was definitely puzzling with some unexpected surprises in the end. I was also able to "participate" in the Westing Game; and I almost beat Turtle . . . darn. The characters are smart, witty and funny, and keep the book going.

This was really good! I'd never read it when I was younger, and I was in the mood for a good puzzler story so I found this. It's fun! As a (self-dubbed) obsessive/compulsive puzzle solver, it was really entertaining to try and figure out who was doing what and the whole game around it. I love the whole thing, the characters, writing style, everything!

We read this to our first and third grade boys. I feel that I needed to explain a lot to them, and as the book was written in 1978, some phrasing was outdated, BUT they were able to keep up and enjoyed using their deductive reasoning skills to figure out "who dun it". I was equally captivated and tempted to finish it on my own after they went to bed many nights!
