Log: The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin 8/20- 10 min. 8/23- 40 min. 8/24- 30 min 8/25- 20 min. 8/26- 55 min (25 for IDOF packet) pp. 1-75
The Westing Game is a very confusing book. At the start, they introduce almost 10 characters in about 10 pages. This is the one thing that I don't like about mysteries. You read the first ten pages and ask yourself what just happened. For this book, I was pretty close to putting on the shelf and say that I'll read it later, but I decided to keep going and see what happens.
Even though it is very confusing, the book is very interesting. What makes this mystery stand out is the fear factor at the beginning of the book. The rumor that Sam Weston is lying dead on an oriental rug in his house has spooked everyone. People know things that others don't and it makes a good page-turner. Even though I still don't know half the characters, this is a book that I am excited to read.
