I would just like Mr. Pelzer to know that he's inspiration to all young people who have been in his position. Like you, Mr. Pelzer, they feel they're alone but you have given them strength and courage to keep fighting, to help them realize there are good people out there who will fight for them. Thank you for sharing your amazing story and God bless.

I couldn't put any of David Pelzer's books down till I had finished them. I was driven by the story to follow David's life. The books have been an inspiration of victory to me. I am a survivor of sexual molestation and understand David's past anger and as he had realized I also realized in my life's journey that the anger and unforgiveness will destroy you and maybe others around you. I hope to hear more from David soon.

I read the First of Dave's books, "A Child Called It", in less than 2 hours and immediately started the second in the series of three "the Lost Boy"! Mr. Pelzer, You are my hero in so many respects that I find it hard to express in words the admiration I feel for you! I recommend all his books to anyone who needs inspiration in their everyday life! Life can be extraordinary when you come across people like Mr. Pelzer who survived against the odds! Bravo David! These books as well as all your others are incredible!

The Lost Boy is one of the best books I've read in a long time. The first time I picked it up I couldn't take my hand off it. I know What its like to go through these things

I think that this book was the most inspiration book I have been fortunate to come across. I am still a teenager and have many decisions to make in my life, and one have been inspired by the book; I would like to become a social worker so that I can help those children like David. David Pelzer came and spoke to a school that a friend of mine went to, we shared the harsh realities, and triumphs that David came across. I definitely recommend this book to everyone!

I'm almost finished reading "The Lost Boy" and last week I read "A Child Called It". How any human being could treat their child the way Dave Pelzer's mother treated him is beyond words. I can't wait until his third book is available - I want to know what drove his mother to do such horrible things to a poor innocent child. I also want to know why she singled out Dave and not any of his brothers. Excellent reading.

I just finished reading "The Lost Boy" and I would just like to say that I have never read anything like these two books before. They are very disturbing. It breaks my heart that any mother can do this to her child. A wild dog has more compassion. These two books will open your eyes and break your heart all in the same sentence. I would like to Bless David for his capability to survive under extreme measures. God bless you.

I just met Dave about 2 weeks ago in Monterey, Ca where he was signing books and he signed my book "The Lost Boy". He was very kind and had a sense of humor about him and at the end of our meeting he gave me a hug.That was my early xmas present to meet him and I consider it the best xmas present. I just thought I would write in and tell everyone about my meeting with Dave Pelzer.
