These books are the greatest books I have ever read. I read A Child Called "It" in about 2 hours. I just couldn't put it down. I CAN"T beleive a mother could do this to her own son. I am so glad he has survived and shares it with everyone.

This book and all of your other books have helped me realize that there is kids out there who need help and guidance.
jenni

these books are so intense and writen in such a way that you feel you are there and expreienceing it with dave. i can not believe a mother or anyone can do this to a child. Dave really has a lot to stand for and I give him so much credit to be able to survive such harsh abusement and for being able to share his stroies with everyone throughout the world. I've read the first three books and all of them are so touching. I would sugest these books to anyone. Dave thanks for inspiring me and helping me understand how hard it would be to live a life like you did. you really are a great person and in my opinion a true hero.
