Who cares about the writing style or whether it's duplicate...

ANYTHING that continues to open our eyes towards this kind of horrific abuse (which exists now, is happening right this very second in so many places on this earth) is a good thing.

I don't care if his abuse was less than Dave's. I don't care if his book is a 'copycat' book.

We need to be inundated with these stories. forced to inhale them in just like these poor kids were forced to ingest feces and dogfood, etc.

We need to be brutally forced by harsh truths and reminiscences to acknowledge that sometimes a child is best served by taking that child away from the biological parents.

I am a little younger than David. I was lucky not to have had cruel parents because back int hose days - who really advocated for us kids?

I'm a mother now. My littlest is 4, my eldest 7, and I don't even like it if I accidently hurt them by bumping into them. My daughter pinched her fingers in a door today and cried so pitifully (the younger) and it broke my heart, because a little child in pain is a very sad heartbreaking thing indeed.

I gave her hugs. Love. Comfort and kisses.

Imagine if we welcomed our children. If we loved them and honored them and trusted them and made them feel like the earth is a beautiful place to be.

Imagine a future with children raised in such a way.

David and Richard were victims of a twisted and demented women. The system failed them. Richard should have been removed along with all of the monster's (she was the it- not david) children while the monster languished in prison.

But that didn't happen, and the abuse perpetuated.

Bring these books on. Make us aware. Make harsh commercials like the 'get outraged' ads. Force us to realize that there are voiceless victims like Cassandra Hodges and Precious Doe. Little precious children murdered by their own mothers.

A Brothers Journey

I think this book is pretty much an over view of all of the books by David Pelzer. I would recommend it to a person that has not read the books by David before. I personally did not like it that much because I thought it was just a reapeat of all the other books.

He's entitled to speak

I'm really surprised by some of the reviews, specifically, people who think that only one person per family is entitled to tell their story.

There is a strong blame-the-victim thing in a few of the reviews, even so far as claiming that somehow a five year old boy can be the one orchestrating this family disaster.

Given the context of the family situation, I'm surprised that anyone wants to scapegoat Richard. I think the anger displayed here is out of place.

If you've read Dave Pelzer's books, this one by Richard Pelzer will add dimension to the story. It's a compelling and decent book. It's major flaw is that the story ends abruptly with Richard deciding that he is strong enough to change the situation. So it's a letdown that we never find out what he did to move forward. All the same, I read it easily in an evening, and was glad I did.

Excellent Book

I noticed some reviews stated that Richard B. Pelzer wrote this book for money! Who isn't out to make money? I can't imagine the pain this man has felt. This is an incredible book to read...I would like to see what the rest of the Pelzer family has to say about child abuse.
