A Child Called It: One Child's Courage to Survive
by Dave Pelzer
i don't know... (1/31/2007)
I'm reading this book, and I don't think I will finish it.I sympathize with the boy,II believe he was abused, but still... the writing style is poor. He doesn't explain how it all startED. in one moment they were happy family, and suddenly his mother hates him, but we don't know why. If she was sick, why didn't she abuse her other sons? There must be some reason why him. It was not just punishing, it was killing a child. And what about his father? He might be weak, but how weak to let his wife starve his child???
I don't know... to many whys. Again, I feel so sorry for him, and I would protect him if I was his father, but I don' like this book
