 Written on October 9, 2007 Summary: Wow All three of his books are great. Since I've gotten the book everyone has asked me to borrow it lol and I agree they should read it. Amazing book. Written on September 16, 2007 Summary: moving I only began reading this book as an assignment for a policy course. I am so glad now that I read it. It is moving and thought provoking and throughout the book I wanted to just reach out and help him. I would highly recommend this book to anyone. I couldn't put it down. I will now be reading the others in the series by the same author. Written on May 7, 2007 Summary: A Great Book to Read! Imagine being abused by your drunk mother and being beaten for not doing the littlest things. Would you like it? Would you runaway and escape your crazy mother? Well, if you would like to know the story of this abused child then you must read A Child Called "It", The Lost Boy, and A Man Named Dave. A Man Named Dave was about Dave and his life as he got older. He is introduced to a woman and get married and have a child. This really surprised me because I wasn't expecting it.I could not put the books down until I knew Dave (the main character) is safe from his crazy mother. Well, is he? You must read the three books and find out for yourself. I am not going to ruin the surprises that come along the way. I would definitely rate all of Dave Pelzer's books five stars. I would rate them five stars because Dave does a great job of putting you in his position. I have read all three of his books. I am not sure if he has written any more books but if he has I would definitely read them. Dave Pelzer just does a good job describing his sad and happy childhood as well as adulthood experiences. I have never read books as sad as these but they keep me hooked from early on. I just never want to put them down. I would definitely not recommend this book to elementary students. These books are not appropriate for them because there is inappropriate use of language as well as unthinkable situations which Dave is put through by his mother. I would recommend this book to students that are in the eighth grade and above. They should be able to handle this in an appropriate way. This would be a great book for both boys and girls because it is an autobiography not on a particular subject that only boys or girls would enjoy it. All of Dave Pelzer's books are in the medium range of difficulty. They are rated medium difficulty because some parts may be hard to understand for some people. I admit I had to reread some parts to understand everything that was going on. I sure wish I helped to convince you to read A Child Called "It", The Lost Boy, and A Man Named Dave. These are the three best books I have ever read in my whole entire life. And I hope you enjoy them just as much as I did! Written on April 14, 2007 Summary: Trying to find peace What I found heartbreaking about this book is the impact that Dave's childhood continues to play in his adulthood. His confrontation with his mother is heart wrenching. Dave's relationship with his child, and the constant striving to ensure that the cycle of abuse is broken, and that he himself does not become an abuser. Another powerful book, and an amazing life achievement. Written on March 28, 2007 Summary: Behind Closed Doors I recommend this book because it tells the story of what really happened in the Pelzer household. It made me laugh, cry, and even worried about what will happen to David. The scary thing about life is that you never know who is being abused or being an abuser until you know them personally. Also, you should report child abuse right when you witness/ hear about it because if you wait then it might be too late. Dave Pelzer kept me reading until the end. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. |
