Summary: Finding Myself
Comment: I could not put the book down! I had seen the movie and enjoyed it very much before reading the book. Now that I have read the book it has given me even more insite on this brave mans life and what he was put through as a young child. After reading his story it made me appreciate more of what I have and have gone through. It has changed my outlook and has made me more aware of a childs feelings. They may not always share with you their thoughts or feelings, but now I know even more that they take everything in and hold it there.

Summary: Food for many thoughts
Comment: "Finding Fish" is a deeply moving account of a childhood misspent, Antwone's struggle to find his true self, and finally the triumph of doing just that. It's an important book to read for foster and non-fostre families, for black and white people, for inner city and suburbian dwellers.
I loved the story, and with personal experiences not much different from the ones described I could relate to the story line by line. It makes you laugh and cry, and is an inspiration from start to finish.
The one thing that marred my reading experience is the intrusive, permanent presence of the editor/co-author Mim E. Rivas. I truly wish they would have let Antwone tell his story in his own raw, unedited words. As it is, the co-narrator's voice, while technically skillful, is unauthentic, flat, predictable, and manufactured in the context of the story. I don't know if that's the case or not but to me it sounds as if co-author Mim E. Rivas is a woman, and the feminine narrator's voice/style is really distracting when the story of a young boy/youth/man is being told.
A big Thank You also to Denzel for picking up and giving life to this story.

Summary: Amazing !!!!
Comment: As a person who is a survivor of child abuse this book was very theraputic in helping me heal. I would recommend this book for everyone to read and see what it is like through the eyes of someone who endured such pain. Antwone Fisher is a very special spirit that has a lot to offer.
