A Brother's Journey: Surviving a Childhood of Abuse

I enjoyed this book very much.. Iy makes me sad to think that a mother or father or anyone for that matter could abuse a child in the way that this one did. I am impresed that he got help and was able to go forward with his life.. I would recomend this book to everyone.

It takes guts to write a book like this...

Can't imagine what the negative reviewers are talking about. This is a brilliant book - as brilliant as all of Dave's. The writing is vivid, fascinating, excrutiating. Bravo to Richard for having the guts to be completely honest about his feelings for Dave at the beginning of the book, and his total honesty about what happened to him when David left. There has to be a special place in Hell for all the "do-gooders" who returned him to the monster called "Mother." Although I hated her, I felt more revulsion for the system (or lack of one) for failing all of the Pelzer children, again and again. And I don't have any sympathy for their father. He was an utter failure - despite Dave's nearly-miraculous ability to love and forgive him, I don't have to. I loathe his total, weak, cowardly abandonment of the boys who needed him. Frankly, I picture him as a kind of worm. Sorry, Dave and Richard, but I think he's the worst one of all - how could he?

Horrible!

To think that someone could do these things to a child is horrible. This book made me want to cry. Another book that will grab your heart is This Can't Be Love! by Patricia Goins. You won't be able to put this book down.

Extreme abuse continues

This book was very emotional to read. It is not as well written as Dave's books. I was disappointed in where it ended. How did Richard finally escape? What about the brothers that were left? How such abuse could happen is totally amazing. All those who knew about the abuse, and did nothing to help these poor children, are just as guilty as the deranged mother! I am so thankful the Richard married an understanding compassionate woman. My prayers are with him.
