I did not expect to like this book, especially because there was SO much hype about it. A friend sent me a copy of it a year ago and I set it aside, thinking that it was going to be some tearjerker, schmaltzy kind of book. As a whole, in the past I've really hated reading Christian fiction as it was usually not well written. I couldn't have been more wrong! This book is very well written and is an allegory about our relationship with God. It is *not* religious whatsoever but is full of truth and wisdom, in my opinion. I highlighted so many passages as the book went on that I almost needed to just highlight what I DIDNT want to remember!

It's not the Bible. It's not to be taken literally, in my opinion. The people who portray the different aspects of God are not LITERAL, but what *if* our Father was someone who looked different from what we imagined? Food for thought -- this book is a buffet!
