The Shack by Wm. Paul Young
3.0
First, I need to say that I've read better writing. While there were a few spots that I thought were well done, there were too many passages that felt awkward and unwieldy. Clunky, even.
That being said, I enjoyed the book. I wanted a bit more in spots, a bit less others.
Of course, I can't review the book without touching on the main subject matter. While the story definitely made me think about my perception of God, the Trinity, and organized religion, it really didn't change my opinions on any of them. I think that might be because I believe - and always have - that God is so much more than the human mind can comprehend.
I can understand, though, why many people were bothered by the book. It definitely challenges the rules, regulations, and doctrine of most organized religions. It dares you to think outside the box, something not everyone is interested or capable of doing.
