I've read it and I didn't care for it. A lot of people like it and you might, too.

Yeah, I heard it was too. Then I bought it and couldn't even get a quarter of the way through it. Yawn.

I read it, but didn't like it at all. Heavy christian overtones, so if you're into that, you'll probably enjoy it.

Pretty far out ! supernatural stuff ... after the rape/brutal murder of a 6 yr. old child. I could not handle it at all. Better things to spend my time on.

I read it about halfway a few years ago and honestly I thought it was quite a good book. However I agree that it was deeply Christian,and I was ok with most of it but there were assumptions that I knew zero about which made it difficult for me to follow. I thought it was a very inspiring book and I have thought about trying it again. I am surprised to read all the negative feedback.

I received it as a gift. It was one of the worst books I have ever read.

It is one of the most poorly written and conceived books ever published.

It seems to appeal to the dense among us.
