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

I just finished one of my education classes, and my teacher discussed this book in class. She suggested that we should read it. I went and I bought the book immediately. As I was reading this book I couldn't believe what I was reading. Tears ran all over my face. I thought what an incredible child to survive all that torture. This book is amazing and as an educator it made realized things that I never thought a child could go through. Believe me after reading this book I am going to be more alert about my students. This book has also taught me to be more compassionate toward children. From now on I will recommend this book and Dave's other books to my friends and teachers.

It was a very good book it's the best book in the world

I have ready many books in my past, but, I never came a crossed "A Child Called It" until my mom showed me, Ii was happy that she did because I would have read a amazing book, it was the best book I read all summer., I've been reading the trilogy of these books I am planning on reading them all and I am sure there just as good as the first one. when I read this book I could have never thought that the mother had such a cold heart to treat her own flesh and blood like that, it was horrible. But it took him a lot of courage and help from his teachers that really did love him to help him have a better life.

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.
