This book is very inspiring to everyone and anyone and I think that he did a very good job in stay strong. This is my favorite book and wants I get reading it I can't put it down.

I heard from other people that A Child Called "It" was a excellent book and you could NEVER put it down! Then my English teacher gives this assignment: To reads at least 3 books by a author that you can choose. So I decided that I would read books by Dave Pelzer. I was on the 3rd chapter and I didn't want to put it down! It's such a good book and I hope everyone can read it b/c than everyone knows that what people go through every day. Its so sad to hear from people that they go through child abuse! I'm done reading A Child Called "It" and now I'm almost done with The Lost Boy.

My take on the book is very good. I enjoyed the book very well it was a happy in the beginning and then it got sad and heart felt this book is very great and I would recommend it to anybody. Dave Pelzer had a very sickening mother never in a million years would I ever treat my child the way his mother did she needed to be in a psych ward if you ask me cause she was just straight crazy.If he could see this message i just want to say I'm sorry for everything he went through and that he didn't have a chance to grow up with a stable home and a loving mother like most kids have. I really wish this book would become a movie because it would be the best movie of the year and he would make a lot of money off of it. And even though you getting all this money I know it could never take the pain from what she did to you away. I just hope that you have a better life now and im glad you are away from that thang you called a mother. AND LIKE I SAID I REALLY HOPE THIS BECOMES A MOVIE THAT GIVE YOU ANY IDEAS.

When I read this book it made me glad to know that he was able to get out of it and find a safe home to live in and a family to love him. When I read this it reminded me of my mom, because when she was that age her mom would beat her all the time and my uncle Steve who as just passed away at the age of 37, and when I read the set of books by Dave Pelzer it inspired me to know that when I am old enough to have kids that I will give them all the love I have and like my mom always tells me and my two sisters no matter what happens you girls mean the world to me and there is nothing in this world that can take this away from me no matter the person. I have always wanted to meet Dave Pelzer and just to shake his hand would be an honor. But I just thought it was a great book along with the rest of them I could read those books over and over again and I do love these books.

This book is so sad...it made me and my step mom cry....I can't believe a mother would do that to her own child....I am against child abuse totally...my dad told me that i wouldn't be able to put it down and it was true I couldn't put it down!
It is a true page turner!!! I just couldn't believe she would do that to her youngest son...you guys have to read it if you haven't before....Thank you!

It was a very good book and it made me cry because I had a life somewhat like that when I lived with my foster mother. So it made me feel so good just to hear that there is a way out....
