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.

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A child looking for love
Review: This book continues with young Dave Pelzer after being rescued from the horrible abuse at the hands of his mother, and follows him through his troubled teenage years. We see a young man trying to figure out where he fits in, looking for the love of a family as he is juggled about in the foster care system. It is amazing that he didn't fall into absolute despair or turn into a out-of-control teenager after the horror he had been through and then the unstable environment of foster care. Though he did hit some rough patches, with the love of a good foster family he prevailed. Dave Pelzer's continuing journey (this book is second in a trilogy) is an important book that shows us how terrible child abuse is, the problems in the insitution of foster care, and the human ability to bounce back and put negativity behind you. Dave Pelzer is an example of how successful any of us can be. I highly recommend this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's GGGGGRRRRREEEAT
Review: Well this is the second of the trilogy and it is as wonderful as the first. Didn't really want to finish it because I didn't want to know the end. However, once I did finish, I loved it. Hopefully the third is just as good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Lost Boy Is A Good Book
Review: The Lost Boy was about a boy that gets thrown around foster homes his whole teenage life. He tries to find love but it's hard because he doesn't stay in many homes long enough for that. As a young boy he gets in trouble a lot only because he wants the attention he never got. He does things that get him into trouble. Later he's not as bad and ends up finding some foster parents that love him.
I liked the book a lot. It was good and I just wanted to keep reading it. The main themes of the book were survival and finding love. He was trying to survive his teen years and his foster homes. He was trying to find love because no one had ever loved him. The tone of the book was mostly the same at the first. He would get in trouble and no one would care. Then it changed to where he would get sent to juvenile hall if he got in trouble. So then the tone changed to him making friends and having fun. Overall it was a good book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Lost Boy
Review: This book is one of the best i have read. It is the third in a series Dave Pelzer has written, and it is the best of the three. It is a true story of the author, Dave Pelzer, and his life. His mother beat him and made him live in the garage. He was made to be her slave and do everything she commanded him to. He was also refered to as "It" and was not acknowledged as a part of "her" family. It is a story of the bravery of a young boy who is searching for a home with love.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Child Called It
Review: From the beginning of A Child Called "It", by Dave Pelzer, I knew what my reaction to this book was. Throughout the entire book my opinion never changed, it remained an excellent book. There was always something happening that held your interest. This book is motivating, inspirational, and interesting all at the same time. Pelzer pulls your emotions in every direction as he talks about the abuse he was put through as a child. Not only is this book informative on the topic of child abuse, but it is also a tear-jerker.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Put aside an afternoon
Review: This is an amazing and sad story. It makes one appreciate social workers more and how important they are in creating a safe haven in our society. The young man's mother is an animal and deserves to be caged in a zoo. Read this story and you will be saddened.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A continuation of the book that opened the eyes of America
Review: "A Child Called It" began the saga...Dave masters his skills in "The Lost Boy...". This story leads the reader through his adolescent life. The ups and downs of chaotic circumstances are detailed in a heartwrenchingly unbelievable drama. His ability to relay his experience with such passion...to step back and relive the episodes for his readers...strikes me with such awe. His honesty is brutal. His fear is tangible. His misguided childhood choices are on display for us all to scrutinize. His triumph is felt in the heart of the reader. Go get this one!!!
