A healing work 
This is one of those books that you would love to give a five star rating, but cannot. The strengths of the book are many and include identification with the sorrow of the main character Mac, who goes through \"the Great Sadness\" over his daughter. The story is a moving story and very intriguing. The idea of going to the place of your greatest pain for healing is very important and was for me the strongest part of the book. The book has some strong theological strengths such as the emphasis on God redeeming...

The Shack was a riveting and emotional journey. As a born-again Christian, I recommend anyone and everyone read this book. It creates a visually stimulating collection that puts skin on the greatness of God. Young magnificently molds an image of the Trinity in a remarkable and unique way that for this mature Christian was amazing. Young does what many \"religious\" writers and speakers fail to do: make God real.
The Shack is a misleading book on Christianity. 
The Shack uses emotion to teach wrong doctrine. I personally feel that this book is trying to cleverly teach a Christ that is not of the Bible.

Okay. So I took this out at my local library (not willing to waste money on a book I was sure I would hate) and started reading, rather warily. Frankly, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

To understand you really have to just read it.
You know, there just isn't anything except if you're considering this book because of all the hype, you won't be disappointed.
It's so much more than a vampire book, a vampire romance, a guide to future boyfriends and husbands.

I read this series in 86-87 when it was first released. We waited rather impatiently for each new issue to arrive and weren't disappointed.
Until the end.
Not for one minute do I believe that Alan Moore didn't know that the ending was a rip-off of the Outer Limits episode. We were all hoping for so much more.

Alan Moore turned the comic medium on its head with this series. The characters are human and the story really makes you think about balance in the universe between right and wrong. There is alot of symbolism and iconic references to the end of times as our masked heroes try to find out who is behind the impending war that threatens mankind. Believe the hype, the ending alone is worth the $20 you spend on the book. Brilliant.

I love this series! I couldn't put the book down! I was trying to anticipate the next thing - Stephenie Meyer did not let me down. I cannot wait to read book 4. I even turned a few of my friends onto the series. Who said this series was just for \"young adults\". My friends and I have enjoyed this series and we are well above the \"young\" phase.

I enjoyed reading sTori Telling, couldn't put the book down. Looking forward to ready any future Tori Spelling books
Loved this book!!
I loved this book! it was so interesting to learn how Tori Spelling is just like you and me. She was very honest about her life and I could really relate to alot that she discussed about her family. I.m really glad I got a chance to read this book and I'm looking forward to anything else she writes in the future.
Great Book!
Great book ....I love Tori and Dean on TV so I bought this book. Very interesting insight into Tori's life.

Funny and moving stuff
One of the things I love most about David Sedaris's work is that one essay can send me running to the bathroom because I'm laughing so hard and the next can move me to tears. Not every essay has had much meaning for me but the majority are far better written than most of what passes for \"literature\" and best sellers these days. No one else has captured family moments, both poignant and hysterically funny, as well as Mr. Sedaris and I can't wait to see and hear him read his work aloud the next time he is in...

It's a keeper!
I have been pleasantly surprised with this book. I have a two year-old and a 6 month-old. I already make puree's for baby food so it hasn't been too bad, making a little more. I have to add that my two year-old likes vegetables, BUT my husband hates them! Now, we can all sit down to dinner and eat the same things and enjoy them. We really like the tuna salad, meatloaf, and green eggs recipes.

My friend and I both bought copies of this.

Not sure why other people have not been so thrilled except that it is very time consuming to prep the purees. Just plan a night or day and take care of making purees that you...
