review 1: I listened to the audiobook, read by the author plus two other people.I thought the book sounded interesting enough for an upcoming roadtrip, but I was wrong. I'm glad I read it though as a few parts were worthwhile. I was left feeling that the eight hours I'd spent listening though could have been summarized into a one hour one act show. Then I found out that's where it had started...I felt preached to way too often and thought the author was really whining about her "middle class white girl" problems, not offering a solution to others in similar heartbreak. I'm glad she found her way out, just not sure it warranted a book deal.
review 2: My well meaning friend purchashed this book for me. Due to my rather...unhealthy anger toward God I thought I would be able... more to relate to this book and perhaps have some of my questions answered. However, this book caused me only fustration and annoyance. The self-centered nature of the narrator was honestly amazing. I thought her anger would be about more philipsophical questions (I.E. the nature of hell and why it exists, God's wrath toward his people in the Bible, the hyprocrisy of the Christian church and the unhealthy, Stolkhom Syndrom like nature of the relationship between man and God.) Instead it was a WHY ARE YOU NOT GOOD TO MEEEE for the entire book. While I thought the converastions between her and God were fascinating. I feel like nothing was resolved at the end of the book. In the beginning, she was angry at God because he didn't seem to care and kept on throwing his worst at her. At the end of the book, nothing had changed outside of the fact that she she realized that this "abusive relationship" was really just God's way of showing how much he luuuuved her and it was all her fault in the end. God meant well! It was like reading a victims journey through abuse only to have said victim being like "Well, it could been worse really. I'm sure my abuser really meant well in his abuse!" I smell BULLSHIT. This only made me dislike Christianity/God/Christians even more. Eesh. 2 stars for the occasional bit of humor and the overal concept of the book. less
