this has been the most unusal read for me till date as its full of perceptions about normal day to day things we do. a must read for people who are atheists or agnostics, will not make them believe in GOD but still will give them a new perspective. thoroughly enjoyed reading it, one of those books which i am ready to read again again every 2-3 years just to get a new lease of life.True story of a 4-year-old found on the streets of London in the 1930's by a 19-yearold blue collar worker with a passion for math and music and all things mechanical. The first edition included the tale of how the book's manuscript came into the hands of the publisher and of a meeting with "Fynn," the book's author; all subsequent editions have omitted it.Anna had an intimate relationship with "Mister God," and searched for him in all things.Everything and everyone in creation was evidence for
This book changed my entire world, my entire life. Its explanation and insight into what God is, is a completely different outlook onto a topic as old as humanity. It has a refreshing way of describing things, but without the various pretenses that most authors seem to have. Honest writing is a really rare find nowadays but this book, despite convention, remains, even if untrue, honest.
A book I loved, loved, loved when I first read it in the late 1970's. It is one of those books that stays with you for decades. .The book allows us to meet Anna, a precocious child of four years. She has run away from home and makes a life with Fynn and his mum. During her short life, Anna develops a refined way of looking at almost everything around her and manages to teach twenty year old Fynn a thing or two about life. From the moment Anna refused to tell anyone where her parents lived to the
I am Anna. Or I thought I was, when I was 10 years old and reading that book. I also thought I had secret magic powers back then. This book helped my self esteem, I guess. I would give it a two, had I not seen myself in the protagonist. But it is really moving in many ways. And, even now, when I see the title on my bookshelf, it takes me back to an age I believed endless possibilities were lying ahead of me.
this has been the most unusal read for me till date as its full of perceptions about normal day to day things we do. a must read for people who are atheists or agnostics, will not make them believe in GOD but still will give them a new perspective. thoroughly enjoyed reading it, one of those books which i am ready to read again again every 2-3 years just to get a new lease of life.
I read this book as a teenager and continue to re-read it as an adult. There are certain books that make such an impression on your life that you know that you are somehow changed. What surprised me most is that a book I picked up as an 'easy read' would fall in the same category for me as To Kill a Mockingbird, Of Mice and Men and I Am the Cheese. Mister God is a book that seems to prove the quote from Mother Theresa that a single stone thrown into the water will effect many with the ripples.
