This book is amazing! So insightful...really makes you think. Although some of the chapters, events, statements may not totally agree with your religious doctrines, the goal of the book is this: GOD IS LOVE. What better message? I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will read it again and again for inspiration, hope and faith. I recommned it to every one I know.
 I cannot believe I actually read this! March 17, 2010

I am sorry - other reviews are so glowing - but I hated this book - and cannot believe I finished reading it - I should have stopped midway throught when it started to annoy me.
Annoying - is the best thing I can say about it - I thought most of it was drivel - and I was thoroughly and most definitely depressed when i turned the final pages.
The Shack Reviewed March 17, 2010
Spellman (United States)
I just finished "The Shack" while on a ski trip with my elder son. I had to make him drive the entire 10 hours to northern Vermont, I could not put this book down. I found the author's view of the Trinity fascinating and God's relationship with man refreshing. We ALL have misconceptions of who God actually is, his plan for humanity, his overwhelminmg love for us, and the consequences of the freedom he gives us. I would hope everyone, Christian and non Christian alike, will take the time to read this book and gain a better understanding of God's "Will" for his greatest creation; US.
Don't know what all the "Buzz" was about March 15, 2010

The Shack was for me just an OK book. I found it somewhat boring and speed read on most pages that didn't pertain to the little girl and the message. I understood the message,and the concept was interesting, but it could have been written better? The bones were there but the meat didn't stick for me. My opinion only, don't lynch me!
Is it because if Oprah reads it, then everyone that reads it feels the need to agree that it was the "best"?
Not a murder mystery and a lesson on buying via the Kindle March 14, 2010

Downloaded the book via the Kindle store - sounded like an interesting read and got good reviews. Book took a weird and unexpected turn about 1/3 of the way in. I tried to make it through but just couldn't - I had to give up while god was making pancakes and Jesus was passing the syrup. Had I actually read the reviews I would've known that it was a Christian book. Part of me thinks this was the intention of the author - some sinning atheist accidentally reads the book and gets saved. Unfortunately, the story goes so over the top I don't know how people of faith can even make it through. Key lesson - use the web to shop for books, especially if you want to try something new!
