A Child Called "It"

A Child Called "It" is a true story about the horrible childhood Dave Pelzer had as a young boy. He lived in California, and he went through years of torturous games he had to play with his mentally sick and drunken mother, from the age of 4 to 12. These games sometimes almost left him dead, for example: one game was that if Dave did not finish his chores in time his mom told him that she would kill him, he did not finish in time and ended up getting stabbed in the stomach by his mother. My favorite part of the book was when Dave promises himself that he will survive, and says "In order to survive, I could never give in to her. That day I vowed to myself that I would never, ever again give that b**** the satisfaction of hearing me begging her to stop beating me". This is my favorite part because it is when Dave finally will have a goal besides getting to eat. Also, it is a huge turnaround for Dave so he is looking up. I would reccomend this book to anyone who is interested in autobiographys and the horrible act of child abuse. I do not recommend this book to anyone who has high sensitivity to this sort of stuff. I liked this book because it truly taught me how lucky I am to live in a family who has so much more love than Dave Pelzer's family.

A Child Called It by dave pelzer

A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer is about a very young boy growing up and his mother is the devil.She does very cruel things to him to watch him suffer for her amusement. In my opinion it was an excellent but sickening book.It was excellent because its the only book I've ever read in middle school by myself because it was never boring.It was sickening because of the things that his mother could think of to do to him.
I recommend A Child Called It for anyone that likes life stories.

Unabridged on 4 compact disks. The author's account of his early years describes one of the most severe child abuse cases in California history.
