Baby Boy Fisher was raised in institutions from the moment of his birth in prison to a single mother. He ultimately came to live with a foster family, where he endured near-constant verbal and physical abuse. In his midteens he escaped and enlisted in the navy, where he became a man of the world, raised by the family he created for himself.

Finding Fish shows how, out of this unlikely mix of deprivation and hope, an artist was born - first as the child who painted the feelings his words dared not speak, then as a poet and storyteller who would eventually become one of Hollywood's most sought-after screenwriters.

A tumultuous and ultimately gratifying tale of self-discovery written in Fisher's gritty yet melodic literary voice, Finding Fish is an unforgettable listening experience.

An excellent memoir with so much sorrow, poverty, abuse, tragedy, betrayal, sadness, loss, horror, hopelessness, and being lost, that due to perseverance, imagination, and determination led to being found, finding an identity, discipline, hope, joy, peace, happiness, success, love, kindness, marriage, and fame. A true ashes to riches of the many layers of life of an African American boy as a ward of the state to a genuinely successful man.

This is a very good read. The tragic start of Antwones’ start and him coming full circle will keep you full of emotions. Sad to happy, mad to hopeful you will want to cry for all the right reasons.

I hesitated on buying this book because I thought it would just be a retell of the same story from the movie. I’m glad I tried it out anyway. This book was so well told and captured so much that was not a part of the movie. As a matter of fact, there are probably only a handful of similarities between the book and movie except for the characters. This was a wonderful book. Highly recommended.

Totally different than the movie
