Helpful Score: 2

My sister recommended that I read "the Shack" as it takes place in Oregon and that is where I live. The beginning was not bad but after several chapters, I lost interest; there was so much writing that I skimmed through a few parts. Too many words to say not much. I did like the premise of meeting with God and getting to ask questions; the biggest and most popular is always why did that have to happen? Close to the last few chapters, it got better as the questions were answered. Anyone who has ever studied a Bible will find the same answers, that is if you have REALLY studied your Bible. Religions and their teachings often cause people to get caught up in the wrong idea of God and why we are really here and what exactly should we as His children be doing. Some parts were so predictable but there was a little surprise very close to the end that I had not expected. I would recommend this book to a beginner Christian or one who has not studied their Bible.
