Summary: Simply unforgettable torture, with remarkable courage.
Review: David Pelzer can only make those of us lucky enough to know the love of our parents to be humbled by his own brutal experiences. It is a difficult book to let go of -- litterally and figuratively. The abuse he endures and the courage he somehow fathoms to continue his day to day living is hope and love and peace to those of us whom have our own pain to recognize and recover. The countless tears are not enough of a recognition of his struggle through his early years. May his will and courage help others to keep their faith and strenghth! May it help all to acknowledge this very destructive abuse. An abuse no child should ever experience. So, as difficult as it is to read through, knowing this person exists and has quite litterally survived...well, may god keep him in His grace.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I work with juvenile deliquents that are trying to become responsible citizens in the community. Many times, they use excuses as to why they cannot succeed. After reading this book, it gave me hope that any child can succeed.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!!!
Review: This book was great. When i went ot the book store and i saw it on the top shelf, i saw ti and i looked through it. When i read the first page, i just couldn't stop. i got so into it that i lost track of the time and i was in the book store for over an hour having coffe and reading. once i realised the time, i bought the book, hoped inot my car anf drove away. The second i got home, i had to finish the book. This book is excellent and anyone who has read it or is reading it would say the same. Also, everyone in my family has read this book and now my 15 year old daughter finally has realised that my husband and i are not so bad after all.

Summary: You will forever champion for children after reading it!
Review: I read this book in 2.5 non-stop hours! I cried, out of sadness for what Dave went through, and because I kept picturing my own 5 year-old son in his shoes while reading the graphic details of his mother's abuse towards him. Reading about the torture he endured saddened me deeply, yet it made me even more aware of this most horrendous problem our society many times ignores. I wanted to find Dave Pelzer, put my arms around him, and sing for hours a soothing song to comfort him. He does not seek pity, but tells of a smart young boy who just wants a loving Mommy and Daddy. Every adult should read this book. God Bless Dave Pelzer for his courage and strength.

Summary: Heart Wrenching
Review: I'm a 14 year old girl in 9th grade. I read this book in 7th grade and I feel so lucky to be in a loving, and caring household! I think every teen should read this, most of them will realize that they are so lucky to be in a loving environment. This book made me realize how many unfortunate kids are out there!! I couldn't even read some parts of this book, because they were so grafic! I would sorta recommend that a parent read this book with their child, so they could both get some insight about abuse!! This is my favorite book of all time!!

Summary: It's a heartbreaking, terrifing stories of a helpless boy
Review: My heart was broken after reading just 10 pages of the book. This book didn't only tell how a helpless child suffer, but more importantly, there was life after that with a will to survive and make life better.However, this book didn't explain why out of the sudden the Mother changed so much, why the Mother only singled out the author in the family? What happened to the Mother, the Father and the brothers?
