It was really dull and didnt have muchof a plot.

Thank you Dave

Thank you, so much Dave, for builing up the courage to write this book. It has showed me what to look for in children who may have been beaten. It is sick to imagine that someone could treat there child the way your mother did. Throughout the first book, I wanted so badly to meet your mother and ask her why. I can only imagine the way you felt when you were so little, and I appologize that nobody could see it in you what was going on. In reading your books I have also decided to make a career move to Social Services. I would love to be able to help kids out like yourself, and make them happy.

Again, thank you Dave for your courage and your fight for life

I dont normally read much...but A child called It caught my eye at a friends house and i borrowed it ..that was last sunday...i read it that day..couldnt put it down...on monday i was in town searching for the other two...wanted to know how could he survive all that pain and torture and still come out as strong as he has...i bought both books on monday it is now thursday and i have read both....each book making me see things differently and each book making me cry for different reasons....i was so pleased to read in A man called Dave the closeness he has with his own son...and the love he has eventually found in Marsha...he is one man who deserves some love in his life.....such an inspiration to a lot of people...i send him all my love...and wish them all years and years of happiness.

This book was fantastic I can't belive there's peolple this cruel out there in the world.The child called it has alot of courage.

I have just finished A child called it.....i was beaten by my stepmum and ended up in care...but i suffered nothing compared to Dave Pelzer....i have a son who thinks i am strict sometime...ive told him to read this to see what some children even in this day and age go through and survive....i think that was the nicest bit about the book...was that he survived all the horrendous things done to him...im now on a mission to get the second book..living here inside my family..it is heartbreaking to know that kids actually do go through this abuse....we all say if only we could do something to help.....but most never do...to come out of all that and become the man he is today....proves he is a special person....my thoughts go out to him as he has shown people an insight as to what does go on in our world today

I read all three books and was amazed at all three. I could not help but want to jump through the book and rescue him myself. For a child to go through what Dave went through is just unreal. God bless you Dave! I think I speak for so many when I say you are truly a hero and a gift from God. Everybody should read these books. They don't just teach you how awful child abuse is, it teaches you about a childs love, and will to survive. I have learned so much from you Mr. Pelzer. Thank you. Big hug to you Dave!

I read the first book, "a boy called it." It was amazing in all my life I didn't read a book so sad, and the way her mom treat dave. I recommend these book to all people. Once you get in one of the books you would not stop.

His books are really inspiring, right now I am reading The Lost Boy, and I can hardly put it down. These are the kind of books that you can get into, and that you feel like you're actually there with him. It's really cool and scary!!!
