A fantastic book to escape into
This is one of those books that you want to read when you think your having a bad time.
It really opened my eyes to the world around me.
Just when you think your life is bad this book reminds you that you can over come any obstacles thrown at you and come out on top. The best book I've read so far!

The book review
Hi I think this book is great. I think you should make a movie from it. It could be so inspiring. You could call it "The Boy Who Wanted a Life" it's just an idea. But over all the book was fantastic.

Wow.
This book is truly amazing. Do you want me to be honest with you? I haven't actually read the book. But i have read a lot ABOUT it and it has moved me when I haven't even laid a finger on me. The fact that a mother would do this to her child is revolting and unacceptable. My deep love for Dave and a message to you all - Be lucky to have a loving family and a happy life. When you think your life is going down think of Dave and his life.

Amazing
"A Child Called It" by David Pelzer is the most amazing book I have ever read. It gives an insite of how horrible some kids lives are. It truly touched my heart. It made me cry and I have told everyone I know who reads, that they really need to read it. It will definitely change how you look at things and teach you not to complain about your life because you could have it worse

A Child's Fight To Survive!
David Pelzer went through a lot. Trying to deal with an alchoholic mother, and abuse. He managed to survive to tell the story. I am very glad that he did because no child should have to deal with that. A mother should act like a mother. She should not abuse her children.

WOW!!!!!!!!
It is disgusting that a mother would treat her child like this. I read this book when I was 5th grade and I just fell apart. Can you imagine being treated like dirt and your father not helping you. That is just despicable. What kind of evil creature is she. She put him into a bathroom with cleaners! She is crazy!

the way i felt about the Child Called It
i think this book was very good and i will definitally read it again. I think it was very, very sad when she put daves arm over the stove and burned it. Also, i liked it how he wrote the book he set it up as a good book and good story. i read alot of the second book too. it is very good so far. i will read this book another time this year, after i finish the second and third book. and maybe the " priviallage of youth." i thought this book was so good. and i hopr dave writes another book like these ones.
