5.0 out of 5 stars Anna makes life shine., February 26, 2000

By 

D. Otey (Illinois,United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mister God, This Is Anna: A True Story (Hardcover)

This fascinating true story of a young life with deep insights to share about existence kept my attention endlessly. Anna's perspective had no walls of limitation. To me, Anna has become a definition of hope and encouragement through love and curiosity aimed at people and relating to those people. This book can easily restore your beliefs in the dreams you once gave up. I also suggest reading the sequel ANNA, MISTER GOD, and the BLACK KNIGHT from Harper Collins Publishers. Thank you Mr. Fynn for sharing and extending the love and wonderful personality of Anna.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read for anyone, thoughtful, November 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mister God, This Is Anna: A True Story (Hardcover)

First and foremost, I am an atheist. To my absolute core.

I was given my copy of this book when I was 17 (I'm 31 at the time of this writing). I have given away countless copies and I buy it whenever I find it, just to share it with another person.

I knew Anna dies. It said so in the beginning. But when she died, the means, the way, the reality of it was too much for me. I vaguely recall screaming "Noooo!" and hurling the book across the room. It was days before I picked it up and finished the last few pages.

I felt like I'd lost Anna.

But I didn't because she stayed with me. Or rather, her wonderment, her curiosity, her fearlessness.

To me this was not a particularly religious story. Odd thing to say. I take this book to mean that you should explore, and question, the world around you. Do not accept the answers you are given. Name things for yourself. Anna chose Mister God. I choose Nature. You choose what best suits you.

Anna is the perfect teacher. Her simple wisdom will touch you.
I read this book 15 years ago and it changed me. Let Anna teach you.
