I had to read this novel for my assessment so i didn't really care, but when i started reading this novel, i was amazed as how it started with drama. Dave was talking about his life when he lived with "the mother" and all that just made me just hate that woman for doing things like that to her kid. I really got into the book since the first page of the novel. It really makes you think how precious life is and how children actually do change your life, for the better.

I love all of the books written from dave he has really helped me to understand a lot about myself. I too went through somthing like he did as a child and i now know what i can do as an adult to help pervent this from happening to any other child. this man deserves a hats off stand ovation. he is really one of my most favorite book writters. i hope that he contiues on in his calling.

I thought this was an awesome book just because it really put me in my place. I used to complain about how bad i had it just because my mom and dad are strict with me. These three books (A Child called "It", A Lost Boy, and A man Named Dave) have really made me realized how good I really do have it. I am now more thankful for what i have and the family that loves me and who i am. Thank You.

hey. My name is amanda. I am 15 years old and I am a freshman in high school. " a child called it" was one of the greatest books i have ever read. I used to be abused by my father. He used to drink all the time, and when he got drunk i would get beaten. It all started when our family moved to wisconsin. My father was very unhappy with his job and his life, and he took it out on me when he was drunk. At the end of 8th grade, i couldn't take it anymore. I tried to commit suicide. I slit my wrists open. luckily, my mom found me, and took me to the hospital. My dad then realized he had been being way too harsh on me. He knew he had to stop. He started going to therapy and stuff, and he hasn't hurt me, or drank since last may. This book was so inspiring to me. i can't believe that dave went through so much at such a young age. So thank you for writing that dave, and touching so many lives.

Hi i'm 20,and read all 3 books about a year ago,I would like to say a very heartfelt thanks to Dave for his wonderfully inspiring heartwrenching story.You really are a true inspiriation to so many people worldwide!! At times I cried and even now,almost a year later Dave's story never leaves you. I wasn't abused as a child,lets just say there's issues to be dealt with,which because of Dave's story i am able to do now. Why a child should have to go through such an experience...we will never know! Someone is watching over you Dave,may only good things come your way! Once again....Thank you for sharing your story,although im sure it wasn't an easy thing to do,reliving your past,you have helped soo many people to get through their own personal "story". Your raw honesty pulled at my heartstrings......
