The Fish House by GL Rockey. It is a story that focuses on the life of Rick Carlson, from his childhood to adulthood. The book tells of all the experiences he lived until he found his true vocation. A fictional drama with a very good narrative. Congratulations

Even though it is a fictional novel to my ears, it sounds suspiciously close to a coming-of-age biography and, unfortunately, I really dislike reading those, because I was rarely able to find many that aren't either bragging or sad life stories. Apologies, I prefer to pass the book, but still congratulations on BOTD!

A captivating story with string mafia vibes. There is quite a lot of profanity, even reading the bits of Rick growing up. However, there are many errors in this book which are distracting when you must decipher the intended meaning.

The thorough review of the book 'The Fish Houe' is a quite interesting book from the role played by Rick in the entire story. Rick resilient and never given-up spirit is quite commendable and worth referencing despite his ordeal and rough beginning and terrible experiences along the line, couple with health challenge that placed impediment on him.

It is a book I will like to give in quality time to read especially for it humorous style of writing.

The Fish House

We all are here to go on our journey and find our life’s purpose, Rick takes us on his journey. With issues between Ricks mother and father, the father leaves and his mother is left raising him. His mother does remarry so the foundation remians. Ricks stepfather passes and he leaves the restaurant but due to financial struggles it isn’t as pleasant. In my opinion sometimes we have to take time for ourselves so that we can deal with issues that we left behind, they eventually catch up to us and for some it pushed growth.
