I just finished a book called The Westing Game. It's actually a bit childish, but I loved it! It's about this rich man named Sam Westing who loved to play games, so when he is mysteriously found dead in his Manson, his will is a contest. The winner.. gets $200 millions dollars. This mystery/suspense is fun and has lots of unexpected twists. It really makes you think. It shows how decent people can become completely horrible when money is at risk. Why does cash have such an effect on people? When you think about it, almost all things bad come from people wanting money, power, or fame. So is money the root of all evil? I don't really think so... evil comes from the love of money.
There is also a
movie based on The Westing Game, but I've heard that it is nowhere near as good as the book.
