Book Comments
Isra Mamoor - received book as a gift from a friend
I admire John Flanner immensely. If only others were so "normal" and "human" and "down to earth"
Raymond - business executive
Fear, Fun and Faith is John Flanner's vibrant account of his inspirational life. It is a fantastic read because of his unwavering directness and honesty, which deliver great humour, unfiltered emotions and admirable optimism.
Alan - A workplace acquaintance
For some reason the first thing which grabbed my attention was your account as a youngster of looking down at your feet at school mortified to see you still had your slippers on. Maybe it's because it so closely resembles that nightmare where we are outside being chased endlessly and can't escape but horror of horrors it's all happening in our jim-jams!I'm sure that like many others I loved the stories such as the "steak-tie" and the "beans in the handkerchief". If you'll forgive the pun (which is intended) I have already "dined-out" on those a few times already. Thank you.I enjoyed reading a biography, for once, of someone I actually knew. That was a new experience for me. Knowing quite a number of the other people involved in your life and being familiar with some of the situations did give the read a new dimension. May I say also say, "Good for you" for your courage in being so open about so many of the difficulties you have faced in life.
