What readers think of A Child Called It, plus links to write your own review.

This book is one of the most amazing books I've read so far. it took so much heart to go through what Dave went through and i admire that. i love this book. I can't believe how someone could take so much bad from someone they thought cared. Love this book!

A Child Called It was a very emotionally catching book. It took a lot of strength to go through every chapter. Dave Pelzer amazingly tells his autobiography of how, when he was younger, he was terrorized by his mother. The book goes through every emotion Dave as a young boy went through.

I started to read this book today, 20th June. I couldn't stop! I sat in the sun reading and reading, my tears started to fall and I was so.. so sad about the boy. I finished the book after 2 hours. My mother went in to my room and asked why I was crying, and I just hold up the book in front of her and she understand.. I have many thoughts right now, how you live now and how you feel today.

I'm just 16 years old and live in Sweden. I am really really surprised that it exist child abuse in the world..

thank you for a exciting and a very sorrowful book.
Good Luck In Your LIfe!

I thought this book was uncredible it helped me learn so much like what this boy had to go through was outrageous and I can't imagine this book touched me in so many ways I can't even explain but I read this book three times its not entertaining but it makes me appreciate how much good I have it because I was very ungrateful, but after reading this it made me think and be way more understanding.

When my teacher from school told us about a book called IT we thought it be a normal book. A book a kid would normally read. The more he read the more we told him to keep reading. It is a wonderful book for people like Dave's mother. I think this book is very good and a helpful book .Dave it very strong to live through all that pain.

This book is very inspiring to everyone and anyone and I think that he did a very good job in stay strong. This is my favorite book and wants I get reading it I can't put it down.

I heard from other people that A Child Called "It" was a excellent book and you could NEVER put it down! Then my English teacher gives this assignment: To reads at least 3 books by a author that you can choose. So I decided that I would read books by Dave Pelzer. I was on the 3rd chapter and I didn't want to put it down! It's such a good book and I hope everyone can read it b/c than everyone knows that what people go through every day. Its so sad to hear from people that they go through child abuse! I'm done reading A Child Called "It" and now I'm almost done with The Lost Boy.

My take on the book is very good. I enjoyed the book very well it was a happy in the beginning and then it got sad and heart felt this book is very great and I would recommend it to anybody. Dave Pelzer had a very sickening mother never in a million years would I ever treat my child the way his mother did she needed to be in a psych ward if you ask me cause she was just straight crazy.If he could see this message i just want to say I'm sorry for everything he went through and that he didn't have a chance to grow up with a stable home and a loving mother like most kids have. I really wish this book would become a movie because it would be the best movie of the year and he would make a lot of money off of it. And even though you getting all this money I know it could never take the pain from what she did to you away. I just hope that you have a better life now and im glad you are away from that thang you called a mother. AND LIKE I SAID I REALLY HOPE THIS BECOMES A MOVIE THAT GIVE YOU ANY IDEAS.
