ditto to those above
i just read the three
i believe he now has one more out
the importance i think was that this was a true story and he is very specific about how he survived and changed from a victim to having a wonderful life
it's a great life lesson for everyone
and yes, i also found myself disturbed, putting down the book and outraged as my grandchildren played around in the house as i sat on the couch reading
how could anyone do these things to a child or anyone
hooray for dave pelzer
thanks for giving us part of your strength

this book had to take so much courage to write!
i was grateful for the other two books so i could see the child called it turn into a child turn into dave.




I remember the first thing I did after reading this book was apologise to my mum and dad for all the times I was little brat and for the times I must have claimed I hated them and they were horrible. I had a lot of emotional problems growing up wiv my mum mainly due to her depression but this book really made me see just how lucky I was. I don't think there is such a thing as a perfect parent and I still think I'd make an awful mother myself.






People like that dont really deserve the kids that they do that to i was soo mad at the mom >.<


Well said, sir. That's why I had to approach it as I did. Bad things happen. We learn from them and we grow or we die.






I agree with this also. they were all evil and ridiculous.






My god, me to. I was more angry with his dad then with his mother at times. His mother clearly has some type of psychological illness while his father just walks away because he can't stand watching it anymore.


It was amazing book but it wasn't very hard as you say Christine, i really feel what the mother did to her sons.
