• A bit short but definitely inspiring.
  I'm not a big book reader so of course I was the last person in my group of friends to read A Child Called It. Having heard so many good things about the book, I had really high hopes for it and fortunately I found it be so good that I read it straight through in a couple of hours.

• A LOSS FOR WORDS!!!
  this book was amazing i am at a loss of words here......??? i just dont know buy it it is worth it!!!!! amazing that anyone could endure that!!!!

• I wish that I had not wasted my time or money on this book.
  I think it is likely that Dave Pelzer was abused as a child. However, my gut feeling is that much of this story is fabricated. By page 56, when "Mother" was forcing Dave to eat poop from his brother's diaper, I was totally disgusted. By page 75, when Mother made Dave drink ammonia, I'd had enough and decided to do some research online. Turns out I'm not the only person who questions the validity of this book. I'm throwing my copy of this book in the garbage can.

• This is a must read!
  This was a very touching book. I could not put it down what so ever! I read it on my way to Wisconsin Dells for a vacation back in May. I cried because it is heartfelt and God forbid a child ever go through that!
