Summary: spellbinding
Comment: This book broke my heart. To believe that a mother would do to her child what David's mother did to him is unbelievable. To find the courage to tell the world about his experiences is outstanding. David has written a book that expresses the horror of child abuse without doing so in a "pity me" manner. I found the book fascinating and sad. I highly recommend this book. It is said to be one of a trilogy. I am looking forward to reading the other two books. For those who do read it, you might find it interesting to note that he states in an interview that he went back as an adult and spoke with his mother before she died and forgave her. He said he asked her if she would really have killed him and he says that she told him the only reason she didn't was that she couldn't decide what to do with the body.

Summary: The Child Called It
Comment: WOW that's what i say. What a brillient book. I never put it down and highly recommended it to friends. I cried all the way through it, not to sound patronising but i felt Dave Pelzer's pain and heartache. What kind of mother does that to her child??? The things he was made to do where beyond belief, yet he still did them-he didn't run away. This is the sort of book that really inspires people and makes them apprieate what they have in life. Dave Pelzer suffered the worst case of child abuse seen in America, but not in vain-if anything it has taught people to be more vigilant and forth-coming. It made me smile with happiness at this innocent child's bravery but also cry in profound sadness at the way he was treated. My heart goes out to you. You've really turned things around for yourself, writing about your experiances, selling millions of books and being a best selling aurtour-THAT'S AMAZING. If anything we can learn form this and stop it happening to other innocent children. An astounding and heart-renching read. Good luck in the future all the love and happiness Mr Pelzer-a throughly inspirational man.

Summary: A Very Brave and Corageous Little Boy
Comment: If your interested in reading a book that leaves you with a sense of sadness and happiness all in one this is the book for you! The author David Pelzer was the man that lived the life of this brave and corageous little boy. The things that he endured when he was young, left you paralyzed and distraught. Cold chills will overwhelm your body, with a filling of grief and sadness so depressing that you don't want to continue to read because you are so scared of what he might endure next, but you know if you don't read you will never know how he ends up.
This book is about the life of David Pelzer who was beaten by his mother, deprived of food, and tortured as a young child. He no longer was called by his name, he was known as "IT". He never really knew what love was except for before his mother went crazy. David's dad tried to help him, but ended up only making things worse. Some of the things she did to him would make you cringe. She burned his arm on the stove and made him throw up whatever he ate at school. His mother truley was the Devil.
The intended audience would be for young adults and older. This book is definitly not for children! The farther you get into the book the more descriptive it gets. His life gets worse before it gets better! David wrote his book, based on his life, simple. Not to make you feel sorry for him or to pity him, but to tell you that all things in life are not easy, but we can all get through them eventually and still lead a healthy life. Free from the past, and ready for the future.
I really liked this book. It was very sad to think of how his own mother could have beat him and disown him like she did. It is not that unheard of though all over the world there are children like David trying to survive the unexpectable. They only hope they are lucky enough to survive the raft of domestic violence. The main reason I chose this book is because it deals with everyday life situations and because it speaks the truth through a young boys life, someone who didn't give up and give in to the tragic consequences of being born and not wanted.
