À propos de cet audio

 NEWBERY MEDAL WINNER • Ellen Raskin's unforgettable, timeless classic continues to be cherished by young readers of each new generation.

"Great fun for those who enjoy illusion, word play, or sleight of hand." —The New York Times Book Review

A highly inventive mystery begins when sixteen unlikely people gather for the reading of the very strange will of the very rich Samuel W. Westing. They could become millionaires, depending on how they play a game. All they have to do is find the answer—but the answer to what? The Westing game is tricky and dangerous, but the heirs play on—through blizzards, burglaries, and bombings. Sam Westing may be dead ... but that won't stop him from playing one last game!

Ellen Raskin has created a remarkable cast of characters in a puzzle-knotted, word-twisting plot filled with humor, intrigue, and suspense.

Winner of the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award • An ALA Notable Book

The writing was well done, the performance was excellent and the story boring. The plot is meaningless. had to power thru, I came very close to just delete the book, but the last 3 hours are ok. There is a lot of character with no real lead, keeps jumping from one to another with some time elapsing and no warning, you just figure it out. there is nothing really to hook us to the story or make us care about the characters. There is a lot of better books out there to spend your credits on.

boring

I feel like this book is a book better read than listened to, not due to the voice actress... just for the flow.
It's a good book, not ground-breaking nor emotional, not perfect - but solid.

Solid book

Fantastic narrator! A story that keeps you guessing and intrigued throughout! Will be listening again to put the pieces together and see things from another angle (knowing the outcome).

Will be putting this on the digital shelf to read again!
