This is one book that you just have to ignore the critics on and figure out for yourself. I was anxious to meke my way through the first couple of chapters and get to the much-hyped "weekend". And as I got past the first two chapters, I was carried away into the story and couldn't wait to go from one chapter to the next. People have to remember, this IS FICTION folks, take it for what it is meant to be, a story. I found it very comforting. I am a Christian, and it gave me an uplifting view of the Trinity that I can personalize. I am keeping this book on my nightstand and rereading is haphazardly for the sheer comfort of it. If God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit really could appear like this to me, then give me the directions to the SHACK! I've been writing down passages from this book and they are already classics to me. I heard an interview the author did where he said he wrote the heart of this story for his kids to make their faith seem more real. His love, a father's love for his children.....that's the heart of this book. And I'll keep it close to mine. Open the book!
