Lowrie Mccall's Wish List

The Plot
Meg Finn, along with Belch Brennan and his dog Raptor break into Lowrie McCall’s flat, and in the processes of escaping, Belch blows up a gas tank, killing Meg, Raptor and himself. They are dragged to Hell, but on the way, Meg was pulled back to Earth. This was because she has an equal number of good and bad things that she has done on Earth, and couldn’t get into either Heaven or Hell. To get to Heaven, she has to help Lowrie McCall complete his Wish List. In Hell, Belch and Raptor have been combined by the explosion and are sent to capture Meg and take her back to Hell. After she has completed the tasks, Meg goes to Heaven to be with her mother, while Lowrie, who was dying, gets a new lease of life.
The story is about living
Meg Finn is a feisty Irish teenage girl, mourning her mother who died in a car crash. Meg made her stepfather’s life hell after he made hers hell. She then calms down, after she is dead, to help Lowrie complete his Wish List. Lowrie is a pensioner, who lives on his own after his wife, who was an alcoholic, accidently drank a bottle of bleach one night. He has about six months to live and he conducts his wish list to try and sort out his life before he dies. I found most of the characters interesting (Meg, Lowrie, Belch, Beelzebub) as they all had very distinguishing attitudes and phrases or
The relationship between Belch and Elph is very funny. Elph is a computer programme design to help Belch find Meg. As he is so intelligent, he bamboozles Belch with big words and they annoy each other to no end. They are a bit like a comedy act, except a lot more evil. Meg calms down a lot in the story, and Lowrie changes from a grumpy, lonely old man, into someone who is happy, and the book describes it as ‘he was becoming the man he could’ve have been’.
Comments on style
The story is written in third person, and I think this is quite important to the story, as the writer can tell you every characters thoughts and feelings, not what they look like they are thinking and feeling from a first person point of view. The story is described in a lot of detail, and I think it is a good story, as it had interesting characters and an imaginative plot.
My favourite moment in the story is when Meg helps Lowrie kiss Cicely Ward. She is Ireland’s favourite granny, and this is on Lowrie’s Wish List, because when he was younger and took Cicely to the pictures, he never managed to kiss her and has always regretted it. This is my favourite moment, because it is very funny, and it is also touching to see them come together after so
