There's nothing more delightful than rereading one of your favorite childhood books and finding it just as delightful as you remember. <3

Loved this. The jokes, the puzzles, everything. Engaging read, loved the characters especially Chris! Turtle and Sandy had a sweet and touching relationship. Wished all their stories never ended
funny mysterious medium-paced

Having read it once before I knew a few things to look for but it still kept me engaged

I love mysteries and this one didn’t disappoint. It was hard to understand sometimes because of it switching between people so often. The multiple points of view could be confusing at times. I didn’t understand game until the end when Turtle figures it out. It was crazy that there was four identities of Mr. Westing. I was starting to understand it right at the end. I liked that it told what happened to each of the characters in the end. I also loved that it took place in Wisconsin.
slow-paced

Not what I was expecting? Idk, my sister had hyped it up. It’s an interesting read but I wasn’t really captivated at all… I was reading it as a possible novel study for my students. With all the positive reviews maybe I made it to be more than it was. I might have to give it another try…
