Book Reviews of Finding Fish
Book Review: Reading Excellence
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of the best books that I have ever read. I found that the story was well told and it was fun to read. I liked how Fisher uses description to make the story more interesting.This was a great book and I would recommend you to go out and read this book if you like to read new stuff then this is the book for you.
After you read the book see the movie they are very similar not like the other book, movie relationships. The movie is just like the book.
Book Review: One of the Best Books I've Ever Read
Summary: 5 Stars
Finding Fish is a spellbinding, honestly written true story of a boy growing up facing all kinds of adversity. Most of it came from his cruel foster mother who inflicted physical and verbal abuse on him. Reading the things she did made me wonder how any adult could be so cruel toward an innocent child. I really felt for Antwone as I read this book. All he wanted was love and acceptance, but he never found it in his foster mother.Antwone has a deep strength that even as a child allowed him to withstand the torment he faced. I honestly don't think I would have endured the way he did if I had had his experiences. Despite what he went through in constantly being called Nigga or told he was evil or being tied up in the basement, he was always able to rise and know that he wasn't as bad as he was told he was.
Antwone goes on to tell about his experiences as an adolescent and an adult. These experiences were also tough, but he was a survivor who was constantly learning how to push forward.
Although I consider Antwone to be a hero and was inspired by his story, this is no sentimental, just pick yourself up by your bootstraps type of story. Antwoine had some brutal experiences and he tells you plainly about what he went through without sugarcoating anything or making his tormentors into caricatures. I'm sure his foster mother was as bad as he described her.
I'm planning on buying this book (I checked it out from the library) and rereading it soon. This story touched me in a way that no other book has.

Book Review: trauma and turbulation
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very well written book, with much emotion behind the story. The trauma and turbulation that this author went through is astounding.I haven't see the movie yet, but will do that very soon. thank you Mr. Fisher Also recommended: Nightmares Echo,Beauty For Ashes and Running With Scissors...all the above books are 5 star+

Book Review: A Thoroughly Exhausting Read
Summary: 2 Stars
After seeing Antwone Fisher in the theatre, reading the novel just does not seem to do the movie justice. The novel moves at an extremely slow pace and I just couldn't move pass the halfway point. It starts out good but then it gets extremely boring added to the fact that you just can't read but so much at a time of it. I definitely will recommend the movie over the novel. Get this book from the library because you probably will not finish it.
