Book Review of The Shack

The Shack
reviewed on + 26 more book reviews


Its a badly written piece of non-literature that the author readily admits he wrote hoping for a movie deal. The pseudo-theology is not well thought out and diminishes the true goodness and power of our Triune God. The ending is comparable to the "...and then I woke up and it was all a bad dream" kind of ending that come from Jr. High writing classes. The violence against children is comparable to the cheap thrill of a slasher movie. After I read it, I wanted to scrub off the icky feelings the book left me with.
