What a tremendous follow-up to A Game of Thrones!! There are some books you hate to put down but with Mr. Martin's books I feel like I am checking in with friends. He lets you care about the characters and keeps pace with them. There are no dry spots to this book!!!

I have read Greg Iles book "Mortal Fear" and loved it. Now I'm working on "24 Hours" and am gripped into this kidnap/ransom plot and I'm on the edge of my seat. Karen (the 5th mother) kicks butt and the strength of this family is astronomical. Excellent book!!

I have read "a child called it" and also "the lost boy" and I am not the last one "a man named Dave" I really enjoyed both books, but in the second book what made me so mad was that David would think that it was his felt to why he was being abused and neglected. And …more

If you are not familiar with David Pelzer, you should begin with, "A Child Called It," which takes the reader through the real-life horror of child abuse.
In "The Lost Boy," you will once again be amazed at David's personal inner strength. David describes his …more

I'm not usually a big reader but when I had a look at A child call It in a library I went to the shop next door and bought it right away and I finished reading it the same day. That book is truly absorbing, I couldn't put it down and if I did I couldn't stop thinking …more

After reading "A Child Called It" I absolutely had to read it's sequel, "The Lost Boy." The journey that Dave Pelzer takes his readers through is incredibly vivid and, like the first book, brings his readers through every emotion possible. His book is an inspiration …more

This book caught my attention in which I finished it in 2 days. I was shocked and could not believe how Dave's mother treated him. It seems that things like this are hard to believe but in Dave's case it was too real not to be true.

This book is a very emotional and influencing book. Had never heard of Dave's child abuse case before and was shocked to read about his life. The book has been written from a child's point of view, Dave's point of view. When reading the book I felt, almost, …more
