Is the Westing Game a good book or movie?
The joy of the book are the quarky characters and unexpected twists of the story. The movie comes across as more bland and contrived. I didn’t really root for any of the characters to win the game. My advice, skip the film and just read the book by Ellen Raskin which won the Newbery Medal. 7 of 10 people found this review helpful.
