A Man Named Dave was a much anticipated end to the trilogy of Dave Pelzer's life. His story proves that no matter what the odds are against a person if he/she wants it bad enough he/she can accomplish anything. Dave has become a teacher, mentor, and a personal hero to …more

I loved A man named Dave!!! It was so emotional! I don't think he should of married his first wife because she was not honest! She stole money and yelled at him! His mom was so rude, mean, and abusive. The one thing i really disliked about the book was the language. It was horrible!

A Man Named Dave" was my favorite of the RIVETING trilogy - and am looking forward to 'HELPing YOURSELF"...he sincerely implores us all to learn to forgive. I was fortunate to meet him at a recent St. Louis conference - what a humbling experience.

This was so awe inspiring I couldn't put it down. I usually read a book in 1 day, but I read it over two weeks as I didn't want it to end. The books sparks remembrance of a childhood gone by, and an interest toward making the future the best possible. It allows the …more

Dave Pelzer is by far the most courageous, giving and inspirational man I have ever had the pleasure of learning about. As a male, 42 years of age, and after my own years of abuse, nothing of which compared to the abuse of this compassionate, witty articulate …more

How can someone say how brilliant all three books of his were in 200 words. But, my favorite book of his was A Man Named Dave. It was so inspiring, it showed me that even if everything around you seems to fail you just have to keep on going. (As a freshman in …more

This is a wonderful book. It is sad and happy at the same time. I am so glad you made it Dave. The other books were good too. It showed how strong a little boy can be. God bless you every day.

It is unfortunate that we must experience or hear of experiences of abuse. However, without those with such courage as Dave Pelzer we would be in the dark as to the reality of or how to put an end to such violation of self and of our children. Dave Pelzer chose to …more

I never liked reading in my life. My mom sent me this book, and kept telling me to read it. So one night when I had nothing to do, I finally picked up the book and started to read it. I admit, mother was right again, I could not put the book down. I have never finished …more

At the age of 19, I may seem a bit old to be reading Harry Potter, but I found this first book a great read! I had heard of Harry Potter before because my younger brother, who is 11, is always talking about him. Then I kept hearing about him on the news and …more

Thanks to Ms J.K.Rowling for saving me from my Muggle life and taking me to where I truly belong. For you see, I, too, am a poor soul like Harry Potter, who was saved just in time by the owl that came in the form of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

I'm 17 and I can say that this book is the best among the books I've ever read. It's full of thrill and is very fascinating. J.K. Rowling is the best, author. She knows how to write a book that's for kids and at the same time for adult

J.K Rowling had written 4 books before I read the 1st one and now I'm kicking myself for letting her get that far ahead of me! I read the 1st one after my mom had bought it my 13 year old brother. He had had it read to him in school and told me that since I love …more
