Reading and Review of "The Wishlist" by Eoin Colfer


The main character is a teenage girl who has gone off the track a couple of times, but basically she has a good soul. Well, not good enough to go to heaven when she dies but not so evil to go to hell. The case of this happening is rare in the "soul realms" where every soul's trail is defined into either red for good or blue, for bad. In Miss Meg Finn, the main character's case, hers was purple. Which meant she had to return back earth as a ghost and help one lonely old man complete his last wishes, in order to go to heaven and reunite with her deceased mother. This is a book filled with humor, regrets all in one go. A journey of life and death. A struggle of regrets in life and learning how to let go of grudges.

I like this book because it motivates me to continue living life to the fullest so as to not have any regrets. Not only is it humorous, it reflects how humans makes mistakes and grows by learning through them. This would be suitable for teenagers to adults.
