2.0

Not the typical story, I suppose. Most of these memoirs are “How I pulled myself up from dire circumstances to be the world’s greatest at everything.” Finding Fish is “How I pulled myself up from dire circumstances to become a pretty well adjusted guy functioning fairly well in broader society.” Not so dramatic, but more of a reachable aspiration if you are yourself trying to climb beyond the reach of a terrible childhood.

Practically speaking, the writing was uneven. The combination of sesquipedalian vocabulary and ubiquitous slang (i.e. that dude had such mendacity) made me feel unsure what the author’s real voice sounded like. Over all, not a bad read, but not worth picking up again. Sorry, Fish.
