I couldn't get into this book. It started out pretty good, but like another reader mentioned it got weird. I understand the concept of it, and what the writer was trying to say, but I found the dialogue to be slow and draggy. Trying to relate to God as a large black woman named "papa" and such was somewhat difficult for me as well. --Not that I don't think God can't manifest himself any way he wants (a burning bush or a donkey are examples in the Bible).--That aside, there was a lot of hype about this book and I was disappointed in it. I skipped most of it to get to the end. I only give it 2 out of 5 stars.
