    Default Dave Pelzer - A Child Called It, Lost Boy, A Man Named Dave

    I'm just curious if anyone else has read the Dave Pelzer series of books?

    If not, I highly recommend that you start at the beginning with A Child Called It. The second book is Lost Boy & the next is A Man Named Dave.

    This is an amazing man!! These books kept me in tears, sick to my stomach, yet somehow made me see how amazing it was that this little boy grew into such a wonderful man & father!

    I read the first two a few years ago. It is totally unreal the things that poor man had to go through as a child.

    I have read the first one. It is really a sad story. But it makes you realize what kind of people are out there.

    I read them. I cried my way through. It is amazing that he ever survived all that abuse. My mind cannot fathom a Mother treating her child that way.

    I read the first one. I could not bring myself to read the other two. Too sad.

    I thought the same thing at first, but I am glad that I read the next two. I think you may be pleasantly surprised!
