Dave I just wanted to say that me reading these books helped me cope with my past, because I went through an abusive setting and I want to thank you for writing these books. Its tells me I'm not alone thank you.

I thought these books were the best I had ever read, I am so so sorry for what that man when through, my heart still aches for him today. I only wish I could see if to talk to him, what a special man he is, good on him for being so strong. I am so happy and proud for how he has coped in his life, and I hope he and his son Stephen and his wife, will life a happy life. If anyone deserves a happy one, it's that man indeed, great book, I still feel sad today though it.

After reading "A Child Called It" I absolutely had to read it's sequel, "The Lost Boy." The journey that Dave Pelzer takes his readers through is incredibly vivid and, like the first book, brings his readers through every emotion possible. His book is an inspiration to all who read it.

I bought this book, started it and finished it all in the space of about 5 hours. Dave you are a truly inspirational human being, the torture you went through was unreal and left me bewildered, how any mother could do this to her own son (or anyone for that matter) is beyond me.

Although I can not relate to the book or author, it completely changed my life. At the age of 17, vie always known I wanted to work with children, but never really had the passion to work hard at it. AS I read the book, I wanted badly to be there for him. To hug him after a long day at school, to feed him every hour of the day. I enjoyed it so much, I bought The Lost Boy, which I am reading now. I wish I could met David and tell him that by being a survivor, he has inspired me to give my time to children and to make their lives s happy as mine. Heather

I really enjoyed this book. It was hard to believe that someone what do such stuff to their son. It is also hard to believe that the ammonia and Clorox that Dave had to inhale did not cause brain damage or even death! A note for you Dave: You are a real fighter and I can tell that you won't let anyone or anything stop you from doing what you think is best for others and especially yourself. Your life story told made me think twice about how much kids that are being abused today need help as soon as possible! We all love you Dave and thanks for letting the world read about your life story. I hope today life is GREAT! My thoughts and prayers will be with you!

This book caught my attention in which I finished it in 2 days. I was shocked and could not believe how Dave's mother treated him. It seems that things like this are hard to believe but in Dave's case it was too real not to be true.

This book is a very emotional and influencing book. Had never heard of Dave's child abuse case before and was shocked to read about his life. The book has been written from a child's point of view, Dave's point of view. When reading the book I felt, almost, absorbed into the story. To me the story is a tale of not only sadness but also hope and the fact that life goes on. The book is expertly written and was an excellent read. out of ten I would give this book 11. It is a heart felt account of Dave's life that made me upset to read how nothing was done to stop his torment until he had already suffered so much.
