The stars did not function correctly as I wanted to rate it 5 stars. I LOVED the book and have shared it with my friends.

very different book i wanted to read it so bad so i borrowed my sisters copyand well i couldnt follow it or finish it even i was dissapointed.

Strange book. My husband and I read it together and then did our bible reading and devotionals after, and we both felt the book was a strange story. It was highly recommended my lot's of friends from church who loved it, but we just thought it to be odd. Just keep in mind, it's a STORY , not real, and does NOT explain God. The Bible however does. I understand being open and just keeping an open mind, thats how we read it, but it was not something we felt was about who God is, but a Strange Story of someone's opinion and fantasy.

My best friend loved this book and encouraged me to read it. She said it explained things about God and made thing so clear to her. The thing about this book is that it is flawed in its doctrine and can lead a person who does not have a good foundation in bibilcal doctrine away from the truth.

This book started out very good and very interesting, but as it went on it started to lose me. I didnt end up finishing it because it lost my interest. :(

I have just started reading this and it is hard to get into - but I have heard really good things so I am going to keep at it. The writing is not my favorite though

Could not get into this book. Just seemed very unrealistic to me. Everyone else I know loved it.

Read the book and enjoyed the story although had trouble spreading the word about it because it was, after all, fiction.

It is such a interesting read, with so much power adds to your life thoughts, feeling, desires, helps in so many ways to give, love, forgive and know Gods direction for life/death. .

You must, must, must keep an open mind when you read The Shack. God can do/be whatever God wants to be. Just get the message from the book, and don't be too concerned with the semantics.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking to become more spiritually enlightened. This is an amazing story of a man and his journey. The writing in this book is so detailed and creative that it creates a picture in the minds eye that feels as if you are right there living the experience your self......GREAT BOOK!!!!!

The Shack is an enlightening book on how God sometimes uses tragedy in our lives to draw us closer to Him. It deals with how the elements of the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) work together in our lives. About mid-way through it gets deep - sometimes you have to re-read sentences, paragraphs or pages to get the meaning. A few of the descriptive segments are a little long and in my opinion don't ad to the story. Overall it is a good book.

This was an interesting book. It was a different take on portraying the Trinity and thinking about grief. It is a good book to read.

I enjoyed the book and would diffently recommend it - I too went to the local library and saved the cash.

I liked this book (did not love it) just liked it. I am an avid reader often reading 2+ books a week. I heard mixed reviews about this book but decided to read it since a neighbor loaned it to me. It was a very quick read for me (read it in 1 evening & one day, so less than 2 days) and like i said i did like it BUT i can definitly see how some people did not like it. I think they concept of this book can be very confusing for some people especially people who's religion does not teach about or belive in the holy trinity. this book did have spots that were boring but it also had parts that really got my attention and even some parts that made me cry. This book is worth reading so if your interested at all maybe check it out at your local library so you dont have to invest in it if you dont end up liking it. (but be warned my library has a 100+ person waiting list for this book right now...lol)
