Summary: Amazing and Unforgettable
Review: Amazing and unforgettable are the words that come to mind. This book tells the amazing story of a boy striving to survive. An unforgettable tale of how life could be like if you were in his shoes. It is sad to think that any one is this world could treat a person like that but it is possible. These books give people an awarmess of what really goes on and that it needs to be stopped. I reccomend these books to anyone. You are in for a treat though.

Summary: Intriquing & Inspiring
Review: After reading Dave Pelzer's "A Child Called It," it really compelled me to read "The Lost Boy." Pelzer explains the life of a foster child (himself) better than anyone else could. I do recommend you read "It" before reading this book in order to better understand the whole story line. It was a very captivating book, which made it hard to put down. "The Lost Boy" is a very inspiring, true story of a young boy's numerous replacement foster-families that he traveled through, until he found the right one who loved him more than he thought ever possible. Just when you thought nothing else could be worse in his life, things go even more downhill for this unfortunate, young boy. Nothing seems to fall in its proper place for David. I think the reason why I was so hooked on this book was because it was a continuation from Pelzer's first book that I enjoyed so much. It was moving learning and reading about Dave Pelzer's life and what actually does happen to foster children when everything doesn't work. I never knew that it was rare for a child to stay in a foster home for long periods of time, but it was made clear in this book. It touched my heart in so many ways and made me especially sympathetic for those many children who have had rough lives because of their horrendous families.

Summary: Riveting & Honest
Review: Dave Pelzer has written another amazing book! Mr. Pelzer gives the reader an forthright, open glimpse into the lives of children in the foster care system, as well as the heartache, shame, questions and lonliness they face every day. Mr. Pelzer sheds light on the struggles of foster children, whose social and emotional growth is stunted, often through no fault of the child. Mr. Pelzer's works have brought hope and healing to countless others who have also endured abuse--in and out of the foster care system. "A Child Called 'It' " and "The Lost Boy" are truly testiments to the resilience of the human spirit!

Summary: As unsatisfying as the 'IT' book
Review: I am so disappointed with this book I could scream. The tantalising teasers left by the author in his first book have not been addressed in this, the sequel to It...let's get real here - the book's lack of objectivity contributes to this less than insightful book. I'm disappointed that Dave, once again, didn't mention his brothers and mother, where are they and what has happened to them. Why did his mother seem hell bent on having him institutionalised. Why Why Why. I need answers. And will I find them in Book 3? A disappointing read.

Summary: The Lost Boy
Review: A name of the book I read is called The Lost Boy written by Dave Pelzer. This story is about a boy named Dave who was getting child abuse by his mother. He had perfect family until his mom become crazy some how when Dave was about 5. His mom ordered Dave to do chores and sleep in the garage. This book is the aftermath of The Child Called 'It' and it's nonfiction. I wouldn't recommend this book to my friend although it's good because it's too sad and violent. But if you really want to know what happens, you might want to read it. Have fun reading.

Summary: The Lost Boy
Review: Imagine not eating for days, being beaten daily, sleeping on the basement floor without pillows and using newspapers to keep warm, wearing clothes that have an odor, and is not accepted by family. Well, that is the way that Dave Pelzer lived when he lived with his mother. Dave was know as "It." The book The Lost Boy, by Dave Pelzer, discusses how Dave was a child of the state. Dave Pelzer was taken away from his parents and was placed in the state's guardian ship until he was the age of 18. His only possessions are the old torn clothes that he carries in a paper bag. He is moved around to so many different places. He is transferred to different schools when he goes to a different home or shelter. Dave was placed in Juvenile Correction Center, where he had to show good behavior to get out. After couple of months, he was placed another foster home. His father promises Dave that he will come and visit him. After waiting all day, his dad never shows up, which he will not hear from him for years. Dave is still feeling unloved and unwanted. Dave is seeing a psychiatrist, which is very rude and mean. The psychiatrist is pressuring Dave, which makes him look like he needs help by giving him medication. While you are reading this book, you will learn what he goes through while living in different foster homes, different schools, and how he becomes what he is. The author of The Lost Boy, is the same author of the sequel books, The Child Called "IT", and The Man Named Dave. Dave Pelzer is a retired Air Force aircrew member, played a major role in Operations Just Cause, Desert Shield, and Desert Storm. He works in California Juvenile Hall to help children like the boy in his books.

Summary: The Lost Boy
Review: The book "The Lost Boy" by Dave Pelzer has been a very inspiring book for me. I couldn't imagine what it would be like for him at his age to go through what he went through. It made me realize that if he could make it through what he went through then I could make it through anything to. This is probably the best book I've read. I recommend this book for anyone who has parent or even family problems. This is a must read. And Dave Pelzer is a good author to. He puts so much detail into his books and out of the other books he's written this is probably the best one.

Summary: PELZER REVIEW
Review: David Pelzer is one of the most outstanding authors that I have read about before. Your book The Lost Boy is like one of the best books that I've read in years. I just don't get how he can write about his terrible childhood and not feel bad about it. I couldn't imagine living in a terrible childhood as he did.While I was reading his book,I found out that he had grown very attached to the Cantanze's . The day he did have to leave, he cried until he couldn't cry anymore.If you want to find out more about Pelzer,

Summary: a great story
Review: I liked The Lost Boy because of all of Davids courage. He has to survive all of the tings he has been through. I have read The Child Called "IT" and i think that The Lost Boy is a much better book because there are not as many flashbacks as the first book and is more interesting to read about how he tries to find a loving family. this is one of the best books i have ever read before. I recommand this book to everyone.
