LMAO OKAY THANK YOU.. ;; i thought it might have been my own blind rage as a teeny middle schooler so i'm glad someone feels the same way. and yes they were... ♥ i wouldn't mind re-reading them again if i could find my copies, haha.

IT WAS.. but it's been so long since i've read it. ;__; i don't think i actually sat down and read all of The Wish List, but i do remember taking it from my friend and reading parts of it while he was busy doing work.. it seemed pretty good, though! i'll have to give it a try.
