Sad but True
This series of books is awesome. People do not realize (or want to realize) the abuse that happens in seemingly "good" homes. Great writing, kept me spellbound. Also read this authors other books....very talented.

The lost boy
I am a 13 year old girl and I have never wanted to read more until I read The Lost Boy. It was a very good book. I hope he makes more books about his life and Ii really would like to meet him that's all I would want for Christmas.

best books
This book and all of the series of it is amazing. I thought this one stood out because it was different. I really liked it! I thought that it was going to be different and leave off at a different spot but I was wrong. This book is heartfelt and sad but interesting at the same time. In some parts you may even want to cry. I would definitely definitely recommend this book to everyone including people who don't like to read like myself! You'll learn to love to read after you read this heartfelt loving almost tearing crying book...you'll learn to love to read not only these types of books which you will absolutely love but you will learn to love to read all types of books. YOU JUST HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK OR YOU'LL REGRET IT IN YOUR LIFE...trust me on this even though you don't even know me PLEASE!?!?!?!?!?

The Lost Boy helps me find my way...
I read this book 4 yrs ago and start to read it again...I just love how he managed to be "DAVE PELZER" of now despite of the bad even worse childhood history...
It tough me a lot from life specially how he looked up to his mom after all... exceptional! I've learned how to befriends with my enemies and critics now...lol
Thank you dave!
