OT - Book The Shack

Has anyone out there read this?
I am on page 170 - so don't spoil the story! I will admit I THOUGHT it was getting a little 'goofy' at one point. But it is a really neat book.

I just read it and loved it. My husband is reading it now and I can't wait for him to finish so we can discuss it. I can't wait to read it again. I think I will get different things out of it a second time. My inlaws are reading it as well so Thanksgiving we can discuss.

Now go read some more and let us know what you think.

I read it. I thought it was interesting but was not moved in the way a lot of other people have been. But, that probably has more to do with where I am currently in my life than the book itself.
I liked the Vampires much more!

I read it and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! I have never been moved by a book so much as this one. I hope he writes another that starts where this one left off!
