 Once I picked it up I didn't put it down, except long enough to do some of the things I needed to do around the house, but it was difficult. The Wishing Game is strongly inspired by Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and it doesn't shy away from that fact, referencing it a few times. The characters are all likable, even the "grumpy" one and the plot moves along at a nice pace.
