I thoroughly disliked this book for the reasons I mentioned in my review, and think you bring up some legitimate problems as well. I have no idea why this book resonated with so many people....

The back cover shares about how if you are going through a great sadness (like the main character) then maybe this book will help you too. But wait, Mack meets the actual, physical Jesus, GOd and the Holy Spirit. He talks directly to them all. They are real. He has proof that they exist. So how is this a book about faith? HE meets them in the flesh. He no longer has a need for faith. fI don't get it. Also the part about "I am especially fond of you" Would God say that? Sounds so superficial - like a used car salesman or a fraternity brother on a first date with a girl. I don't get this book at all. I thought it was truly awful And the dad reunion? He runs to his Daddy? But he was severely abused? But becasue Daddy has colors shooting out o him it means he loves his son? What? I was laughing at that part. OH about his nose being big? That was clearly anti-semetic remark. Am I wrong? Didn’t like this at all.
