This book also made me realize that a human spirit such as David's can provide strength in the toughest of situations. David's spirit helped him to survive through his mother's emotional and physical abuse. He refused to let his mother win by staying strong and believing that one day he'll be free form her whether it meant he had to die to be free. He had no one to help him so he learned how to fend for himself. His courage and determination saved him from all of the suffering that he endured at such a young age. I loved this book so much because it not only makes you realize that child abuse is really happening to millions but that the story is told throught the eyes and body of a person who once endured child abuse. I really felt like I was feeling the loneliness and pain with him as he told his story. I could not put this book down. This book it is now at my top 3 favorites and for those who havent read it yet it is a must read!!!!

I thought A Child Called "It", written by David Pelzer, was an incredibly good book. As a kid Dave was abused physically and mentally everyday by his mother. He was beaten, burned, and even stabbed by his abusive mom. Not many children look forward to going to school everyday, but to Dave it was a safe-haven. From his problems at home it led to more problems at school. He tries to keep his troubles hidden but it's hard.
He no longer has his dad to protect him. His mom is the only thing else in his house besides his brothers. She blames him for everything. The way Pelzer recalls the events are amazing. The things that happen to him as a boy should never happen to anyone ever in their life. I never thought that it would be possible for anyone to have to deal with the accounts that he calls to in this book. You can almost feel the blows hitting yourself as you read this book.
I would suggest reading this book to anyone that likes a very well written novel. The way Pelzer illustrates his past is incredible. If you want to hear the sad sides of real life experiences and the way that they can be fought this is a great book.

This was a gift for niece. She's not a big reader, but could not put the book down.

If it's a fake or not, I don't care. It makes you think every moment how you're treating your kids and how you can be a better parent. Very good.

Google 'Dysfunction For Dollars" and "New York Times" as one search phrase and see what Dave's brother and grandmother are saying. His second brother actually backed him up ... and then wrote his own bestselling book. This is also a guy who buys an estimated 40,000 copies of his book from stores to sell at speaking engagements. Don't worry it's not made up, it's admitted to by Dave's wife, Marsha, who's also vice president of his company. It's there in the same article mentioned above. Er ... perhaps that explains why it's a "bestseller."
This is the same as the writer who claimed to have lived with a pack of wolves after surviving the holocaust. Don't be so quick to assume they're telling the truth. Oh and don't shoot the messenger.
