Review

"A BOOK THAT SWELLS IN THE MIND AND HAUNTS THE THOUGHTS."
--Los Angeles Times

"Like most good things, [this book] is deceptively simple. Insights steal their way into the reader's mind the same way Anna steals into the reader's heart."
--Chicago Sun-Times

This review is from: Mister God, This Is Anna (Mass Market Paperback)

One of the most heartwarming and beautiful books one can imagine, about the major logical questions in the universe. A unique look on reality told from the perspective of a little girl and her relationship with God. The book is extremely well written and easy to read. At the same time it conveys a startling take on some of the most provocative questions the human race has been grappling with over the centuries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Profound and Wonderful, February 10, 1999

This review is from: Mister God, This Is Anna (Mass Market Paperback)

All I can say to anyone reading this is: please read this book. Whatever you believe about God, religion, love, and the human condition will be radically altered for the better after you meet Fynn and Anna. It's not the usual so-called inspiration, but a real eye (and soul) opener. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, beautiful, Extraordinary Anna, November 21, 1999

This review is from: Mister God, This Is Anna (Mass Market Paperback)

The title wonderfully chosen, the voice and the mood of the author is happy and yet suprised. Beautifully written book, Amazing child, the way Fynn wrote it was like he was still under shock because of the way Anna sees the world, God was friends with Anna, they communicated everyday.Fynn learned so much from Anna. The whole book was a lesson to me and I guess to all other readers, this book teaches about kids that we cannot ignore their intelligence though Anna's intelligence was scary as it always scared the hell out of Fynn. Anna is just a kid that knows God so much, one could'nt argue with her because she knews her story, she fitted into society like a glove. No questions asked that is why Fynn kept her, she was a community builder at her age, changed peoples way of thinking, she was interested in learning new things as well, the fact that she would say 'write it down big' was amazing as you can tell that she was an interesting kid that wanted to learn things that she did not know. Kids do change peoples lives everyday that is why it is always advisable that we spend sometime with them, they are as fun as Anna was. I totally agree with Fynn that she is laughing with God now. this book I will read it over and over again and I will pass it on to my kids.
