The Shackby William P. Young |
Kalee Gresham: I waited for months to read
this book - I had it on my 'hold' list at the library forever, or
so it seemed. I had read so many positive and inspirational
reviews that perhaps my expectations were too high.
This book left me flat. The story and the characterizations
seemed predictable, and the text seemed to be aimed towards
a seventh grade reading level. I was not challenged
(neither intellectually nor spiritually) by this book.
I would not recommend "The Shack".
Rating: **
Gwendolyn Waring: "The Shack" by Young is a great read. The
first few chapters are hard to get through but the reader
is richly rewarded by perseverance. It is hilarious and soul-searching.
I recommended it to my husband with the above caveat. He agreed that he never
would have imagined that he would enjoy a book so much after having to plow
through the beginning.
Rating: ****
Barb Crout: Was wondering if anyone
has submitted anything on The Shack…I cannot be the first! I had to read
it twice and am still not sure of what I’m reading. Please find someone
in your book club who can (and will) review it. I don’t think it’s
particularly controversial – just hard to grasp thinking on a different
level – or is it simply a dream??? Whew!
