I couldn’t get thru it either. Gave up on it half thru. There are too many good books to bother with ones I don’t like. I hated, yes HATED, The Shack, too.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t like, The Shack.

I struggled. I’m not really a fan of historical fiction. But the story was good.

I liked it, but wasn’t one of my favorites. I finished it, but it’s not one I highly recommend to others.

Was really looking forward to reading it… Found it tedious and couldn’t engage with it at all. V rarely give up on a book but only managed a quarter!

This book seems to divide opinions. I thought that this was one that I would really like and it was to a point. But yeah it was a bit of a hard one to get through. Not a disappointment then but I was not overwhelmed either.

It took me 3 separate attempts to read it and finally finish it.
It was pretty underwhelming
