Why I Liked 'The Lost Boy'

I felt Pelzer was able to portray his life in a way that was descriptive and real, but in a way that was interesting and at times humorous. I enjoyed Pelzer's writing style, and found myself unable to put his books down at times (I have also read "A Child Called 'It'"). After reading this, I have nothing bu respect for Pelzer. Kudos for him!

The lost boy

This book was a really good book. what made me not really like it was david's mom.. i dont know what she was thinking when she started that "game" with him.
David's
Mom physically abused him a lot and the thing I don't understand is why
His mom treated him that way and she took better care of his other brothers?
I think David did the right thing by getting out of his house... I say he did
The right thing because I don't think I would be able to live with a person
Like his mom under the same roof like he did, and also the way that he
Had to do everything at home and he didn't even eat in days...
I recommend this book to kids who are very strong readers and who think
They can handle reading this book because it is a great book but it is strong.
Also to all those teens who have gone through this I think that if they read
This book they are going to see that they are not the only ones to go through and it will let them know that they are not a lone that there is help around us.

The Lost Boy

If there was only one book you had to read before you had to die, it should be this The Lost Boy. It has everything you want in a book like drama, tension, a lot of surprises, and it is also a true story. The title and the chapter names of the whole book tie in with the whole story. This book is good for ages 13 and up.
When I picked up the book and started reading it I couldn't seem to put the book down until the very end. The book is mostly on David Pelzer trying to find a family to stay with while moving from foster home to foster home.
David Pelzer had a great memory when writing about all his good times and all of his bad times as well. I don't really like reading, but this book was so good that I couldn't stop reading. So, if you don't like reading much I guarantee you would love to read this book. If you like reading this book and want some more you can read The Child Called It or A Man Named Dave.

A Fight For a Family

Dave Pelzer was a very unfortunate boy, but lucky to survive when he was growing up. He is put through over 5 foster homes and still cannot find a family he can stay with. As Dave grows up he gets himself in more and more trouble, but when he moves into he Nulles foster home he finds two friends who change his life completely around. Dave finds a passion of reading and he learns a lot about airplanes. He gets two jobs at the age of 17 and decides to drop out of high school. With his G.E.D in hand he decides to join the Air Force. Dave Pelzer is a very strong-hearted person and should be loved by everyone because of the life he went through as a child.

My thoughts of the book The Lost Boy were, it was a very good book! It was never boring at any time in the book. Dave Pelzer is a strong guy going through what he did as a child. My favorite part is when Dave, and his two other friends are making stunts for their video. Dave Pelzer captured my attention when he was put through all the bad beatings, and losing family after family with foster homes. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to see a child pull him self together, and make it on with his life successfully. Those are my thoughts on the book The Lost Boy.
