Summary: Sam's Fish
Review: "Finding Fish" was set in a neighborhood of black people. It was almost like an autobiography of Antwone Fisher and how is life was while growing up. I really enjoyed this book because it doesn't leave you on the edge of what is going to happen next, but it gives an idea of what you should think of and kind of leaves you wondering about where the author's ideas are going next. Reading this book has taught me a lot. I learned a lot about what goes on in a child's mind who isn't given the oppurtunity to ask questions, learn about what is right and wrong, what certain occupations symbolize, or who he belongs to. I've learned that what I have been given and taught is a gift because just the smallest thing learned, another child may never learn in their entire lifetime. This book affected me because when I'm ready to begin my own family, I would never want to put my child in a position where he feels unwanted and is constantly wondering who he belongs to. I want them to be able to ask questions and open up to me so that I am able to explain to him what the world is about and prepare him for it. If anything, this is the most important lesson that I have learned from this book. This book compared to any other I have read is by far the best. I would recommend this book to anyone who would want to learn more about what children go through. Anyone who would want to better a child's life and understand it, this is the book for them.

Review: I don't want to tell the story, and ruin the purpose of this book. This was an AWESOME book. If you saw the movie, you'll like the book better. The book expresses more feeling and detail. The book made me cry, especially Antwone's first real christmas gift. It's a tear-jerker. The sad part is, all of it is true.
