If the scale could go higher I would rate it that number. I could not belive what she did to Dave

I cried a lot through the book. Being a single mother of a 5 yr. old, I thought a lot about my son as I was reading. I would hold and love him whenever he would walk in the room.
I loved the book and read it in one sitting.
My thoughts are with you always.

Love,
Heather

This book has truely inspire me in many ways and it has made me stay strong and keep the courage of surving through this difficult time in life. I have also been through hell and back in my life as well, i went through both physical and emotional abuse from my father and i still am hurt by him , but no so much on the physically abusive side but more emotional abuse, But about 3 months back i broke away from the abuse only because telling the nurse and the counselors and teachers at shool did not save me and or prevent him from abuseing me anymore. But now i am much hapier where i am at , which is in a 6 bed group home in fullerton california , the reason i say a lot happier is because for the first time in my life i am treated like a somebody and not a nobody , and most of all i am protected from abuse and physical rages of harm . "A child called it " is the first book i have ever read in my entire life only because it is so addicting and so true , along with the sequals , The Lost Boy, and A Man Named Dave , They are a truely magnifiucant books and i recomend that book to enveryone out there because it will truely touch your heart. The book has inspired me to stay strong and keep the courage to get through each and every day of my life , only because i can compare to Dave Pelzer in a lot of ways as to the way that we were treated,. Anyway i really enjoyed all three of the books and i hope everyone else out there has to


Thanks Dave

Dave's books are the best books I've ever read! Like Dave, I read my way through life. His books opened a whole new world for me. Not only do I understand now how dreadfully common child abuse is, but I also learned that with the right attitude and the will to never give up that you can overcome overwhelming odds and win - eventually. I am happy you survived your childhood nightmare and that you turned out to be a fighter with an awesome personality, Dave! I also admire your compassionate heart towards people in your family that hurt you beyond limits. I makes you a winner - hands down.

Let me dry my eyes for I can hardly see the screen,you felt it Dave,we now feel it. The trilogy evokes emotions myself and my peers never knew existed,you melt hearts,you drive our passion. Thank you God that 'it' turned into a wonderful man named Dave.
