What readers think of Fishbowl, plus links to write your own review.

I really enjoyed this unique and fascinating story. It kept my interest throughout, and the author is creative to think of a tale such as this, and the particular way the story is told.

This story's creativity reminds me of Jonathan Safran Foer's novel, "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close", also a good read.

If you enjoy stories that are a bit off-kilter, but with memorable characters, then give this book a shot; you'll be pleasantly surprised.

A very interesting read. Not my normal genre of reading, but enjoyed nonetheless. All of the characters of the book really came into their own at the end of Ian's journey. Each person that enters our life for whatever reason has an impact. It is what we choose to do with that experience that changes us. Everybody has a story, and that is what really intrigued me about this story and how the author weaved different tenants in the Seville on Roxy together. Those tenants that were missing something from their lives gained something from each other. Fishbowl was cleverly written about a goldfish's journey that actually became a journey of the tenants as well. I found myself intrigued about what was going to happen to each of these tenants as the story progressed. This would be a great book to read for a summer book club.

As other readers, I found this story original, well written, witty at times, whimsical, and charming. The residents of the Seville on Roxy are unique, each one seeking his or her own truth.

So, why am I giving this story only three stars? I just could not connect to the story. Usually engrossed in a good book, I found my mind wandering and having to bring it back to the page at hand. Wordiness perhaps? Characters too isolated and offbeat?

Still, I would recommend this read for an airplane ride or a day at the beach.
