Your review provides a comprehensive overview of "The Fish House." Thank you. I, too, was captivated by the narrative style while reading the sample book. The way the author weaves humor into the storytelling and the accessible language and the wonderful dialogues makes this book a great read.

I am intrigued by what goes on in Rick's mind in the therapy sessions and the advice from his therapists. The book written in simple language will make the heavy subjects much easier to follow. Thank you for the review.

I am fascinated by the life of Rick Carlson, a man with a tumultuous past and a constant search for meaning in his life. I am intrigued by the various challenges such as troubled relationships and financial struggles that Rick had to face while growing up. I am interested in learning if Rick would be able to revive his late stepfather's food business.

"The Fish House" by G. L. Rockey takes the reader on Rick Carlson's journey of self-discovery, the story taking a philosophical turn when tragedy strikes; a thought-provoking book, that's for sure. I'm glad Rick "finally found the security he seeks" if it means he found his life's purpose. Congrats on BOTD!

Hi @ Mercy Wambui Ndungu, it looks like you have read the entire "The Fish House" book. I do receive an email from members that comment on the BOTD after I have posted my comments. Based on your comments I am adding the book to my To-Read Shelf. I found the slang language confusing and it slowed down my reading. I would like to learn what happens to Rick, his partner Julie and Carmello. @Mrlefty0706
