Mackenzie Allen Philips' youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant "The Shack" wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone you know to read this book!

boring
I brought this book based on reviews and seam there is a effort to inflate the book's stars. Boring.

Are you kidding me?
This is one of the worst books I have ever read in my life. Thankfully I didn't pay too much for it. I couldn't even finish it. If you believe God put an envelope in your mailbox or you believe this is in any way possible then buy this book, because you would really enjoy it. When you get the middle of the book with the different references to God and his many different forms and names, come on Really?? That people actually enjoyed this is what baffles me the most, that this book was even published is even more of a mystery.

extraordinary book
The first half of the book moves slow but is the setting for the second half which is some of the most fascinating, thought provoking, inspirational reading I have ever encountered.

Just Lame
My mother in law shoved this book at me and asked me to read it because...she said: I really want to know what you think. (No she didn't!)
She knows I do not believe in organized religion or the bible. I know that she was hoping I was going to have an epiphany and while I am slightly amused that she thinks I am that thick...I am OK with it. She is a nice lady and she just doesn't want me to go to Hell. Even though Hell, at least in my opinion, is having someone trying to convince me that there is such a place.
Well, since the recruitment failed, I feel I should warn people who simply like books and to read.
This novel chugged along in a passable (barely) way until we got to 'the shack'.
Now I can't pick it up again and get more than a paragraph read without completely spacing out and getting blurry. Its a dense brown fog of boring that is not burning off.
I was really hoping that in the course of humoring my MIL, that I would at least get a good read.
Boy was I wrong.
Note to anyone who passes along this book as a recruitment tool: know your audience.
