The Wish List

Summary: Wow!
Review: This is an amazing book. I read it because I loved Artemis Fowl so much, and I wasn't disappointed. Although Meg is nothing like Artemis (her literary knowledge consists of having seen Oliver Twist on TV), the wisecracks and quirky sense of humor that made Artemis Fowl so awesome show up on The Wish List's every page. The characters are hysterical--Beezlebub is my personal favorite--and Colfer's descriptions of heaven and hell crack me up.
Meg, the main character, is killed in a gas tank explosion while breaking into an old man's house. Floating through the tunnel on the way to heaven--or hell--she discovers that she's dead even between good and bad, and that she'll be sent back to earth to try to turn her aura blue (for good and heaven). But her evil sense of humor has drawn the attention of the Devil himself, who orders his minions to pull out all the stops in the struggle for her soul.
