I got that impression too and add in a good dose of emergent thinking. I actually got a copy for a Christmas present from one of my student's parents and read it over the holiday break. It's really bad theologically.
A few of my H.S students are reading it now. I asked one girl, who I know to be pretty well grounded Scripturally, what she thought of the book. She gushed about how it depicted God as as "real person" and how "neat it was" for Him to interact with man. She asked me how I liked it and I told her I didn't...at all. I asked her if she liked the book whether because it portrayed God as she thought she would like him to be or because it was true to Scripture. Her "countenance" changed.
Her mother spoke with me today and I expressed my concerns. The parents are also reading it and have the same concerns I had and they would discuss it with the girl.
