5.0 out of 5 stars Great impact on my life, September 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Soul of Anna Klane (Mass Market Paperback)

I first bought this book off a dimestore clearance rack at age 10 in the late '70's. I have read it many , many times and I believe that it helped to open up the path for a lifelong awareness of my soul. While I have never attempted the complete separation of body and spirit that young Anna has achieved, I have grown into a person who believes that all things have a purpose and that there is something more after physical death. That outlook has given me great comfort when I have grieved the loss of another person and/or contemplated my own inevitable demise.

This review is from: The Soul of Anna Klane (Mass Market Paperback)

The Soul of Anna Klane is technically a SF novel, but for those of you not tending to that genre, don't let that stop you from this gem of a read. The cover alone is probably going to scare anyone away from taking the book seriously. But do--it is thought provoking and quite philosophical. Does the soul exist? If so then how could we prove its existence?
With a plot that make one eager to turn the pages and with more than enough surprises along the way, the author winds his way along what might be termed anti-religious ground. Except it is also surprisingly anti-science. Skepticism abounds.
The author must have done his research well: the book, published in 1977, is quite up-to-date technologically speaking. The courtroom scenes ring true and the characters are all quite believable, with a minor quibble on the main character, the father Klane, who some might consider a tad too super-heroish, yet without that grand personality the plot would have a major problem.
Still thinking this book through and I'll have to re-read it thoroughly.
Buy it; you won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very intelligent, still relevant after 21 years, July 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Soul Of Anna Klane (Hardcover)

Very intelligently written, subject matter. Restored my hope that not all kids are mindless TV addicts. Sustained my belief that the courts should stay out of our private lives.
