Excellent book(make sure ya read the first two!)
This book by
Dave Pelzer
was by far the best book I have read. He mixed great wording and tear-jerking events to keep the reader flippin' pages. The boy who went through so much as a child just to be able to call himself Dave has risen out of the shadows of abuse, not only to write about abuse, but also how to prevent and conquer it. Dave Pelzer is an inspiration to all of us, and I would recommend this book to anyone! But make sure you read the first two ("A child called It" and "The Lost Boy").
Great book.
We enjoyed reading all of
Dave Pelzer's
books. Excellent reading for all.

Wow
The end of the trilogy. I finally got my head around part of what makes him so compelling. If you read what the marketers put together, you may think this is gloomy and such. Nope. It's about how he survived, and is therefore inspiring. But what finally comes together for me in this conclusion is the author's refusal to let me hate his mother the way I'd like to. Damn, life would be easier that way. Pelzer's no saint, mind you. He's hu
man too
. But dang, I really did want him to let me hate his mother. You can learn a lot from this guy, even if you do hate his mother.

Best One
This
story
is about a
man
who went through an abusive childhood, foster care, and a bad marriage and he is still standing tall. The man's name is
Dave Pelzer
. When he grows up he goes to the air force, and is underappreciated. His drunkened father dies. He gets an apartment, and he meet a woman
named
, Patsy. They get married, and have a kid named Stephan. These guys all of a sudden have a rocky road to divorce. Dave finally stands up to his drunkened abusive mother, and says some pretty deep things. Dave's days lightens with his new lady named Marsha. This is a good , no wait I mean great book. In my opinion, this is the best one. You might want to read the other two books,("A Child Called It","The Lost Boy") before this one.

A Man Named Dave
I found this book to be well written and an excellent example of how it is possible to turn your own life around if you have the will power to do so.The previouse two books in the trilogy have to be read to fully understand the strength of character that
Dave Pelzer
must have.
