The Shack

Hello everyone,

If you've read my bio on the station website you have seen that I am a voracious reader. It is often my frustration that I rarely come across a really good book. I'm talking about the kind of book that sticks with you and is not easily forgotten. A co-worker was raving about the book she was reading and couldn't wait to pass it along to me. The book is The Shack by Wm. Paul Young. I just started reading it today and I'm not quite a third of the way in, but the reaction I keep getting from people has me a little excited about this one. Several people have seen me with the book and the exclamations are almost always the same. "Oh, you are reading that? That is one of the best books I've ever read! You're gonna love it." That level of praise is setting the bar high for my expectations, but we shall see. I'll report back with my critique. I know I'm way late getting to this one, but hopefully it will be worth the wait. If you've already had the pleasure of reading the book, let me know what you think.
