The Shack, any thoughts?????

First, and finally, thanks for hosting bookclub in July, Shannon. I missed it, but so wish i had been there to sit on your breezy screened in sun porch and eat the delicious dips that I have been hearing about! Thanks for the recipes! I have asked many of you what you thought of the SHACK, since I missed BookClub. It seems like most of you really liked it, that it gave you all some new sort of perspective regarding some part of your life/and or friendships/family. I wish I could say the same, but I felt like I got nothing out of it and it actually was annoying to me. How terse is that?!?! I found it annoying because I A. could not keep interest in what God, The Holy Spirit and Jesus were saying to the main character...it seemed to repeat itself over and over again. Also, I wanted the little girl to be found and fine and happy and saved... :-( However, with that being said, since you all enjoyed it so much and have take-aways from the book, I am going to REread it and find a take-away too! So, that is MY perspective, in case anyone wanted to know. :-)
