    <![CDATA[  From <em>A Child Called &quot;It&quot;</em> to <em>The Lost Boy</em>, from <em>A Man Named Dave</em> to   <em>Help Yourself</em>, Dave Pelzer’s inspirational books have helped countless others triumph   over hardship and misfortune.  In <em>The Privilege of Youth</em>, he shares the missing chapter of   his life: as a boy on the threshold of adulthood.  With sensitivity and insight, he recounts the   relentless taunting he endured from bullies; but he also describes the thrill of making his first real   friends—some of whom he still shares close relationships with today.  He writes about the simple   pleasures of exploring his neighborhood, while trying to forget the hell waiting for him at home.  <p>  From high school to a world beyond the four walls that were his prison for so many years, <em>The   Privilege of Youth</em> bravely and compassionately charts this crucial turning point in Dave   Pelzer’s life and will inspire a whole new generation of readers.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[  From <em>A Child Called &quot;It&quot;</em> to <em>The Lost Boy</em>, from <em>A Man Named Dave</em> to   <em>Help Yourself</em>, Dave Pelzer’s inspirational books have helped countless others triumph   over hardship and misfortune.  In <em>The Privilege of Youth</em>, he shares the missing chapter of   his life: as a boy on the threshold of adulthood.  With sensitivity and insight, he recounts the   relentless taunting he endured from bullies; but he also describes the thrill of making his first real   friends—some of whom he still shares close relationships with today.  He writes about the simple   pleasures of exploring his neighborhood, while trying to forget the hell waiting for him at home.  <p>  From high school to a world beyond the four walls that were his prison for so many years, <em>The   Privilege of Youth</em> bravely and compassionately charts this crucial turning point in Dave   Pelzer’s life and will inspire a whole new generation of readers.</p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Didn't like this book at all. He didn't make me feel like I cared at all about all the &quot;trials&quot; that he went through as a kid. I guess this may be a sequel to a book called The boy called It or something, so maybe I needed to read that first. I just lost interest right from the beginning o...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15878653">more...</a>]]></body>
