Book Reviews

From The East Hampton Star:

“Fish” glistens with the kind of truth and bravery that remain humanity’s best and only hope for redemption.

From The Los Angeles Times:

"Fish" is a beautiful book .... I cannot imagine a better written memoir of any kind coming along any time soon, I urge you with all my heart to buy it too."

From The New York Post:

"This is a beautiful memoir....
Parsell tells his story with impeccable honesty,
capturing terrifyingly specific details that can't fail
to arouse empathy in any but the most callous reader."

From The Advocate:

"...Compelling and intelligent, T.J. Parsell bares his soul in this remarkable new memoir."

From Publishers Weekly:

Now a writer and human rights activist, Parsell's mission to end sexual abuse in prisons gets a powerful testament in this memoir...[He] does not shy from expressing his raw emotions, realizing his brutal experiences in brave, honest language.
