Brilliant. That's all I can say about this book. It was absolutely, wonderfully brilliant. This was a reread for me (see my original review on my blog here), and it's actually been almost three years since I read it, so I didn't remember much. The only thing I remembered was the main plot twist (view spoiler)[as in, Sandy McSouthers being Sam Westing, and still being alive and all that (hide spoiler)], so it was really interesting going into it just knowing that. 
 I did remember that I really liked the book, but I'm pretty sure I connected with the characters on a much deeper level this time. Not only did they seem like old friends, but I was also more used to the writing style, so I caught little things that I didn't notice the first time. 
 And may I say that I love Angela?? She was probably my favorite character in the whole book, although I also really loved Chris, Madame Hoo, and Turtle. Oh, and Jake Wexler was HILARIOUS. <3 All of the characters were so real. (view spoiler)[Also, Sam Westing was THE BEST. So clever and brilliant and just AAAAAAH HE'S AWESOME!!!! (hide spoiler)] 
 Basically, I adored this book and will probably read it again some time in the near future. (And also probably finish it in one day. This needs to become a tradition or something.)
