I love Christian fiction and was really, really looking forward to this one. There's been a lot of buzz about it, but it wasn't for me. I tried. I really did, but the writing didn't grab me.

I think what I enjoy about Christian fiction (the ones I really like) are someone who is in a real-life predicament and often times have flaws and major issues, but apply their Christian faith to the real, everyday, nuts and bolts business of life and I didn't get that here.

I loved the idea of the book, but not the book itself. It was like reading someone's religious dialogue with themself. Not without merit, but not a whole book's worth of interest, either.

"The Shack" has merit and I can see why many people are so taken by it, but I did not like it.
