"Great Christian Fiction"
If you keep in mind that this is fiction based on the Bible you will have the right frame of reference. While a lot of the story does have ties back into the Bible it does not intend on replacing it. Its an easy place for some to "get the bug" for faith although ultimately they need to be pointed to the only true authoritative source, the Bible.
I thoroughly enjoyed the series and recommended it to many friends. Unlike the movies, I found the books well done, and well produced.

"Worthless"
I did manage to finish this book but I dont know why. I never got anything out of the story, it was horribly slow and overall I had an extreme dislike for it. I have no idea why anyone would like it.
I am a fan of other Steven King books but not this series.
"a VERY slow start"
Until he gets shipwrecked this book has little content/value that I find to be useful. While it does set the stage for some philosophical thoughts later it does it so slowly as to be tedious. After he wrecked I found the detailed description of survival interesting.
Overall I wasnt a big fan of the book. Its over-hyped.
"Good story but like watching paint dry"
I stuck through this book through a miserable commute. With little else to do in the car I have a high tolerance for slow stories. This pushed the limit. I'd buy the abridged version or skip it.
I did like the story that developed but they're going for a 7 book series that may take the rest of your life to listen to if you can stick with it. I wont be buying the sequels.
"Ok if you get past the narration"
I just finished this and did all 3 books in the series in a row. The narrator for this one was bad but if you stick with it you get used to it. It should be a requirement to listen to the other ones before narrating a new one. And they did stupid things with reverb etc when he was "thinking." Bad production overall.
The book and story itself I enjoyed and after a while could ignore the poor production quality. If you liked the other books and think you can ignore production issues then get the audiobook. If not buy the real book.
