My Thoughts

When I was in middle school, one of my teachers either read or assigned THE WESTING GAME to our class. I don’t remember reading it completely because a lot of the story seemed unfamiliar, and at that time, I hated reading. The only thing I remembered about the book was that the clues had something to do with the song “America, the Beautiful” and I remember the name Berthe Erica Crow.

Ever since I rediscovered this book back in February, I wanted to read it (possibly again). I thought the story was hard to follow at times because of the constant change in voice. It felt a bit choppy and haphazard. I did enjoy reading it despite that. It was a fun fast read and I loved the walk down memory lane. The story kept me guessing until the very end so that was something.
