Ten to fifteen years ago, I really enjoyed reading Robert Fulghum's books - you probably know him best as the author of
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.![](https://lh3-testonly.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uEVwZe_rtojq-HE_e_-uubfqM2iFLgWg9ywwHq7mTr28NOn2y4f-_cWx1TCtRem9K1R6l8xek2K_sF6RAYBFysBGb20WWLZJWdFR6TQ8495X3WS_0IRSzh6srDemG_nifh2m_dPU2ZcoNvwKU=s0-d)
My favorite book of his is one that was published a few years later, called
From Beginning to End:: The Rituals of Our Lives.![](https://lh3-testonly.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tcAdTHLtIiMVAtV4il3LLvka_Z4tO72z_GrwrsFWFTjHbCM6QEVLBXVS6Ja7VJuTNLNBPVsboLb6OXmegp3RPHY9HwEFSBXoUkkbwUfjdZQDnQB-C-u-DjSJai5Rcl8mT_8nLESFuvobIhHHg4=s0-d)
(It unfortunately appears to be out of publication, but fortunately, there's a thriving market for used books these days.)
Amazon sent me an email about Robert Fulghum's new book,
Third Wish.![](https://lh3-testonly.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sGv-TPg9VNEFLmatr1P_eMIBhuRenomlfAoitGB72gyfGCBC8z_OrsEhX0EGLpo5_V0Z4NHhYJVuOSq7sjdhMRPpDcaJX5FGAiYcJBn7JrI3F4IgmYj3QxBxCAGWH_6z5cjnslQ48Vl7QTJDZM=s0-d)
I eagerly clicked over to read the summary, and was surprised - shocked, even - to discover that it's a novel. And not just any novel, but one with music composed especially for it, and apparently with a unique (or contrived, depending on the reviewer) writing style.
I like Fulghum's philosophy and perspective. I love that he seems to truly care about being a good person. But I'm not so sure this novel is worth reading.
So has anyone read it, and if so, what did you think?Disclosure: I'm an Amazon affiliate, so any purchase you make after entering Amazon through a link on Chief Family Officer supports this site at no additional cost to you. Thank you!

Yes, I was fortunate to get an advance copy from Amazon last September through the Amazon Vine program. To be honest, I didn't care for it, but many other Amazon reviewers did. If you look up the book on Amazon you will see my complete review (Timothy B. Riley), I believe that it is the first one listed. You will also see quite a few other reviews from readers that were crazy about it. It received mostly 4 and 5 star ratings (I gave it a 2). I hope that this helps!
I just posted my own review on Amazon. JBINKC
This book is a "don't miss" on my life list, and I'll be gifting it to others. I gave it 5 stars, without hesitation.
