Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by lesarc
An absolute lesson in life and an insperation to us all, we may not all be able to feel the same exact pain but alot we can relate to. I could not put the book down until i finished it which i just have about five minutes ago. To dave pelzer you have not only won but you have have triumphed to being only human at the end til now and i am so very privliaged to have had the oppertunity at meeting you even though through your books and under such severe conditions of your story that you can now call your past but also your lesson learnt i wish you much love and understaning peace and the sence of fulfilment , as we all know and as does god it is all that you deserve and much more your are the insperation in us all in your won quest against all evil

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by ROSEMARY MORRIS
THIS BOOK WAS VERY TOUCHING TO ME I WAS AMAZED AT HOW HE KEPT THIS A SECRET FOR SO LONG. MADE ME WONDER HOW COULD THE MOTHER PUT UP WITH HER SELF WHEN SHE WAS DOING THIS TO HER CHILD. WHY DIDN'T THE FATHER DO SOMETHING HE WAS A FIREFIGHTER HE COULD HAVE TOOK TE BOY AND LEFT. BUT HE STUDE THERE LIKE HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
