Rating: 
- The Shack
This review will be in two folds.First, from being a reviewer and second, based on my opinion (which I never try to do - but, in this case, I feel I must).
From a reviewing perspective:
The book is poorly written and does not meet the "writing standards" of a novel.First, there is way too much dialogue and second, the author does not perform the task of making you feel there.It's just words written about.It starts out well, but then you lose focus.Or, at least I did. ... Read More

- Shack Up With This One!
I have to admit I wasn't sure what I was getting into when this book was recommended to me. At first I thought it was from either one of two genres both of which I am not prone to enjoy: sappy Christian sentimentality or easily solved murder mystery.

Rating: - You have to actually READ the book to appreciate it!
This book is a wonderful piece of literature to help bring you closer to God and spirituality.I wouldn't characterize it as a "Christian" book, but rather a book for all who believe (or want to believe) in God.I noticed that almost all of the negative reviews included the statement that they didn't finish the book.How on earth do you review a book that you haven't finished???That is not fair to the author.Yes, the beginning is tough to read, but if you continue to the end, you will see the ...

Rating: - A Worthwhile Evening's Read
The Shack (2007). Wm. Paul Young. Los Angeles, CA: Windblown Media, 248 pp.
Reviewed by Dr. Em Cummins, retired Professor of Counseling and practicing Student of Life.
This novel is a page-turner that I read in a single evening.The story line is compelling, and the author played my emotions as a concert violinist might, moving me to tears at several points throughout the book.Indeed, it was reminiscent of Robert James Waller's The Bridges of Madison County, one of the most popular ...
