Helpful Score: 5

This book reminded me a lot of One Fine Day. It was written purely to evoke emotion, and that annoyed me. It was so obvious. So overly done. Just no, no, no.

The first few chapters were actually not too bad and I was holding out hope, but once he entered 'the shack' it was all over for me. It turned sappy, over-dramatic, over-theological. Just over.

I was not at all impressed with the writing or much of anything, truth-be-told. I ended up skimming the last chapter or two and moving on to another book.

Having said that, for someone that is overtly religious they MIGHT like this book, but the religion aspect was minor in comparison to the other problems I had with it. Skip it.
