Dave has to be one of the most amazing people in the world. I too was having problems at home with abuse (not nearly as bad as Dave's), and he made me realize that you can make it, you just have to be strong. So what felt like torture that would never end has ended!! Dave gave me the courage to stop it. Thanks Dave!!!!!!!

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 myself and many more; his book truly expresses his accomplishments.

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 reader not only to view the life of David Pelzer, but to examine and learn from our own lives as well. Thank you Dave for sharing your painful story to the world. I hope the present and future will always be a better place in which to live.

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 man, I found myself crying, smiling embracing and learning all along the way. Dave thru his writings has touched my heart in a way that no one has been capable of. It's as if he wrote these wonderful books only for me and from the very first one, 'A CHILD CALLED IT' you too will find yourself not wanting to put them down. By the time you make it to the second book, 'LOST BOY' you will find yourself a friend of Dave's and rooting for him all the way!! GOD BLESS YOU DAVE !

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 High school it's good to here that.) Everyone has something or someone to life for. My absolute Favorite part in the book is when Dave and his son Stephen, take a walk along the Russian River and he speaks to his son about never getting into the pattern of giving up. I recommend this book to everyone because all of us get of our trail in life sometimes and need someone to help us find our way back.

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.
