I remember Julie, the unrated reviewer on page 4. I also looked up the book and I also found that the so called book you talked about is a farce and that Julie was right, people like you need to get your facts straight! Plus, HOW DARE YOU! for calling David a liar, I highly doubt that Mr. Peltzer would make something up like that, this review is from the same 15 year old boy named Nathanael on page 3, now 16 and still loving to read and talk about this wonderful book, I still like to look at the reviews and see what people think of this book. when I read your review Terry, it hurt me so much that I had to write back. If you read these reviews, which I highly think you don't do, tell me something, did you interview Mr. Peltzer before making these accusations? and to maybe the brother was jealous of Dave, what about that? Did you talk to maybe some of his teachers if they are still alive? And are there court documents that talk about Dave's situation? Also, if you were getting starved by an abusing parent, aunt, uncle, ...., would you not steal food if you could not get any? I know I would. Dave too if you read this review please take heart that i am and Julie is too that we back you up fully, and we love you. I have recommended your book to many people. it shows a real man, when you talk about things like that. My heart goes out to all that has been abused in all forms, mentally, physically, emotionally, and sexually. and for Julie, I commend you for your bravery in looking that information up, that was truly brave. thankyou for listening.
