The storybook i would love to be trapped in

Alright i have done a book review on this book before and it is still one of my favourites.
Ever thought of dying?
What happens after you pass on?
This book is one of those books which makes you feel at peace with yourself while reading.
About this book.
Basically the story begins with the main characther dying! Yes dying ! Liz age 15 died in a hit and run accident and she arrives on elsewhere where everything is backwards. You do not grow old, people in elsewhere grow young. Elsewhere is in our view what we call heaven, the great beyond and so on. So in elsewhere, Liz meets her deceased grandma and found her love. Eventually she becomes a baby again and is reborned back onto earth.
Some compliments on this book
"One of the best books i have read in years"
-SUNDAY HERALD
and my favourite compliment
" SO convincing you find yourself wanting to read the book backwatds when you've finished"
-SUNDAY TELEGAPH
Now why would i love to be trapped in this book.
This book made me feel that dying might not be so bad. And how it is to live after death. The question why would be a very simple answer actually.
In the story Liz met up with her deceased granma and not long later her dog. I would love to be Liz so i can meet up with my dad again. Liz had a good fifteen years on earth with her parents and all.
What i would want mostly, would be to spend more time with my Dad.
Getting trapped as Liz in this book would make it happen. I haven't seen him in 5 years, its been really long and i really want to see him again. Spend a day with him. Learn the things he promised to teach me and just knowing that he is fine.
Another reason would be that living in elsewhere would be splendid. Elsewhere is a place where there are no sorrows, no wars, no famines. Everyday goes by peacefully. Do you see that happening now? Elsewhere would be my gateway to peace.
If i were lets say Liz or any other characthers in the book. My worry of losing my memory when i've passed on would not be of issue anymore. Liz's memory was intact and so were the rest of those living in elsewhere.
Going to the observatory deck to know my family is fine would definitely be a daily business when i'm in the book. Writing letters through "a letter in a bottle" would also be done. Except for diving down into the if im right the sea, I doubt i'd go to that extent.
