I finished reading "The Shack" last night.
It is a work of fiction that I somewhat enjoyed reading. It was an easy read. It was a challenging read.
That being said, I recommend reading only with great caution. Although it is a book of fiction the author delves into matters of theology. As followers of Christ we must always gracefully check to see if stated theology matches to God's theology found in "sola scriptura." Young's theology doesn't always ring true with Scripture.
If you are a follower of Christ who is a student of the Word and likes to be challenged within the realms of fluff (fiction) then by all means go for it. If on the other hand you are a new Christian or a Christian that isn't familiar with what you believe and why you believe it then I say, stay clear and read "The Holy Bible."
If you want more info I would be glad to write more but don't want to give away any of the story line to those wanting the challenge.

KC the story line is difficult but if already know what it is you should be ok; there is not a lot of detail.
