Mackenzie Allen Phillip, the father of a huge family, also a worker, the usual type of guy you see here and there. He's nothing out of the ordinary, bald. medium height, a little chubby too. Nan, his wife, the mother of his huge family, is a very religious woman. She calls God, "papa." She reads the bible everyday, and she prays everynight. She's is the light of Mack's life. Nan is the kind of woman who knows just about anything to any question. That's why Mack loves her. And Willy, Mack's best friend. He is very close to Mack, knowing how he roles.

This story is about a family that goes through a crazy, surreal experience. Nan goes out of town and Mack takes three of his youngest to a camping trip. On the last day of camping, Missy, the youngest daughter gets abducted. The police come to investigate but only find the remains of a torn and bloody dress inside a shack. Four years later, while the Great Sadness is upon them, Mack gets a mysterious note. Is it a call from god telling him to visit the shack again? Or is it the killer playing tricks? Mack must go to the shack once and for all to find out.

The Shack was an incredible book. It is much different from your ordinary book. Full of vivid description and frightening detail, The Shack teaches everyone a well missed lesson in life. This book gives you the full blown force of what God really is. I really enjoyed this book because I got to learn what we should really interpert in life. It has such deep meaning and such powerful words. I would recomend this more for people that might be able to grasp it the books meaning. Other than that, I strongly recommend this to anyone searching for a good book.

Final Rating: 9/10
