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)

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.

I have heard this book is amazing!!! I cant wait to read it for myself!

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.

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

I just read this 2 weeks ago. It makes you think about religion in a different light, comforting if you can get past some of the sort of contrived situations and the odd nickname some of the characters use for God. I liked it though, very much.

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

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.
