best book ever

I love them all that is so sad that some one could do that to there child. I had to do a book report last year and i dont like to read. Then i read the child called it, in 1 week and i read all his books a lot of times .

I loved his three books I couldn't stop reading them.
I thought that his books were inspiring and it touched me.
I would recomend those books to anyone.

I have read two of ur books so far, the first being the "A Child Called It" and the second "The Lost Boy", both are very well written and very touching to the heart. It's a shame that something like this really did happen in this society, yet Dave still managed to survive. They have really helped many many childrens through out this country. This book will continue to help many children through out the life.
Shelly Norris

This was the most touching sad but true book. I would recommend to this anybody. I could not put the first 3 books down until I finished it all. Dave Pelzer turned out to be a great man despite everything his mother did to him.

This is an incredible book. I would highly recomend reading it. I couldn't put the book down to do anything. I just was amazed by what dave would do to try to fit in. I was in shock how his mother did those things. It is unbelievable that some people actually would do that to their kids! I love this book.
