A Great Third Installment

If you have read the two previous books, "A Child Called 'It'" and "The Lost Boy", I highly recommend that you read "A Man Named Dave." However, if you haven't read the previous two, I urge you to read those first. It makes a big difference.
This is a great book. One if the things I really enjoyed, was that it answered all the questions that I still had about Dave after reading "The Lost Boy," like "Where does his relationship with his mother end?", "What happens to his father?," "Does he ever find true happiness?" and many others.
Another aspect I appreciated was that, like the other books by Dave Peltzer, you could really see inside Dave's head and get to know his line of reasoning. This helps the reader to understand his reasons for reacting to the events in his life the way that he did. It is very heartwarming to see the forgiving spirit that Dave shows in this story.
Although I enjoyed the book as a whole, I found that it did get a little dull near the middle. However, it picks up at the end and has a nice, feel-good conclusion. At any rate, I think that Dave Peltzer is an excellent writer and an amazing person. This book is definitely worth taking a look at.

The end and begining......

Man Named Dave is the ending in the trilogy of fantasticlly moving set. Dave Pelzer ,now a man, copes with life as an adult but his past never seems to leave him compleatly. The Books were so upseting at times that you feel compeled to read on. One of the things I did like about the books was in the beggining he lets us off the hook (read the books and you'll see what I mean).
Pelzer, now a man, learn how to put the past behind him and forgive those who wronged him. He shows how hard work and a never give in attitude. Pelzer is somone to be admired.

In closing in this last review I will give an overall of the three as a whole. These three books are not only a study in triumph and tragady but also in how people can do unspeakable things and get away with it. This is one of the most sickening case of child abuse I have ever heard of. This mans mother was a monster who you will dislike more than Pelzer becouse he has learned to forgive. The reader will have to also.
Thank you David Pelzer for these books.
