Unless they're Eddie Haskell. Good job on the Chbosky. It's crazy that the school would instantly ban a book.

I'm shocked that the school would cave so easily, too! Especially with such a popular book and one that's quickly becoming a new classic. Crazy! I'm glad you read it and are spreading the word. I read it several years ago and enjoyed it a lot. I still have quotes written in my journal. Wow! I’m shocked that the school would cave so easily, too!

That and alcohol....I imagine that helps a lot, LOL It sounds like all ended well ultimately.

The value of the book comes with the start of the garden scene, so don't stop before you get there. It's not on my WooHoo list, but if you want to you can find some good things to think about.

I hope your daughters have calmed down a bit now. I remember causing that sort of trouble for my parents and I feel bad about it now. I think I would be indulging too! I hope the week improves.

My son mainly! He created some suspect email account and joined a social networking site! He is 11 and his mom works in Information Technology but somehow he thought he could get away with it! Ha! He was caught and after all my yelling my voice is shot. So I hear ya! And if I had had an adult beverage in the house I would have gulped it down with relish. My kids drove me nuts this weekend too!

My 2 cents: it’s horribly written, no two ways about it (I don’t do Christian fiction, either). I read it because a friend begged me to, but I wanted to throw it across the room the whole time. What it does do well is spark conversation and really heavy theological conversations at that. I took the route of marking up the book with my complaints and that made me feel better and able to get through it. I’m guessing you’ve already figured out that your Dad is interested in discussing the theological topics it introduces. I hope that is good conversation. </blockquote> I feel the exact same way! I heard so much about the book, so I was very curious to read The Shack and then just disappointed because the writing was so shabby.
