What readers think of A Man Named Dave, plus links to write your own review.

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.

Dave is a very lucky and couragous man. I understand how he must feel and have felt, I will always hold him in my heart and prayers. The best of luck in all of his journeys in present and future. Text

having read all three books,i found this to be the most enjoyable.not that the first two were less so,it was just so heartwarming to see the wonderful "man named dave"emerge.if only there were more people like Dave in the world,what a far nicer place it would be.

Dave Pelzer's books are inspiring to my family, friends, and I. I cried in most of the parts and I could fell his pain. His mother was awful along with his fathers and brothers. Dave, I admire you.
