Inspirational and Heroic

This book is a great inspirational story about a young man who conquers life obstacles. This book will provide you with the feeling that all things are possible and that no matter what is going on in your life, someone else has it tougher, and someone else has survived worse. In this case it is Dave who has survived worst things than most people. It inspires you because he talks about his struggles and that no matter how hard life gets for him, he will be successful. He truly proves that if you really want to be successful, it can be done.

This is a story of heroism. He shows his heroism because he always seems to overcome obstacles. He doesn't let anything get him down. He seems to have a mentality that if something doesn't kill him, it only make him stronger. That shows us (the readers) how heroic his thoughts and actions are. I truly recommend this book because it will inspire and make you see life from a different perspective, in a more positive way.

Gets to the Heart

Gets to the Heart
I have read the whole series of books by David Pelzer, each is better than the last. I recommend these books to everyone I know whether they have been abused or not as they lend insight, courage and determination sometimes in the face where none exist. Again, This newest books shows the depth that david Pelzer is.

Highly Entertaining!

This book should silence those who claim that Pelzer is only successful because of the shock value to be had in reading about his sadistic mother.
This book proves that he really can write.
Another reviewer states that she expected to read more details about the foster system. Well Pelzer has already written that great book and it is called
"The Lost Boy"
This book is very funny though tragic in the beginning. Pelzer for the first time stays away from repeating scenes of horror from his early life and tells some tales of happiness and mischief in his teenage years.
This is not dull but highly entertaining and it is also wonderful for loyal former readers of his books to read about David having some fun.
It is inspiring and thought provoking to see how much joy he takes in simple things, especially when we know the reason why and it makes a person want to follow his example and be more grateful for the simple pleasures most of us experience daily.
But maybe that sounds boring? This book isn't boring, it's funny and a great read. I would especially recommend it to mothers of sons, who want to know what it is like to be a preteen/teen boy. It gives an insight into what they are thinking about and what excites them. I have a four year old boy who is already obsessed by things with wheels so this book warned me about what I may be in for in the future.
Edited to add, I did not mean to insult the reviewer who said the book should have had more in it about foster care and I apologise if it came across that way.

Compelling

This is by far simply one of the most compelling books I have read to date. As are all of the David pelzer series of stories he has written that deals with abuse. I also want to mention a couple of other must read books along with Mr. Pelzers books. BEAUTY FOR ASHES and NIGHTMARES ECHO. Not only will you gain and understand of what the child/teen goes through, but it will make you more aware of what is going on around us.
