Review of
I read this book a few years back, as well as Mr. Pelzer's other two books. These were extremely heart wrenching; all I wanted to do was to cry and wish that I hade been this boy's father. A real eye-opening experience! You can't help but admire his strength of will and tenacity. If medals were given for children, he would definitely be awarded the Medal of Honor!
I believe that everyone who is contemplating having children should read Dave Pelzer's books.

Child Called
I thought that this book was an excellent book, I thought it was very emotional at parts. I never wanted to stop reading the book until I reached the end after the end I bought the other 2 that went with it. I love his books even though the ones I read where about him being beaten and abused i felt really bad for him but I never enjoyed reading until i read his books.

unsure
Now, this is a great book, don't get me wrong. I don't give it a 5 but I give it more a 4.5 . It's fantastic in the sense that it will emotionally stick with you. IT didn't make me cry, but it made me think why? An exceptional book that should be read by all. it's not a five because, well, it was not really the language of a child, but a man after the trauma. everything was a little sudden, and could have been "elongated" read it anyway. keep reading. keep your mind sharp

Very Detailed
This story really touched me. The things this poor child had to go through in his early life were horrible. The story is very graphic and detailed about the kinds of games his mother played on him. I found it very hard to read some parts of this story, but because of the content, I couldn't put it down!

Awesome!!!
I am kind of young, but I really loved this book.I made me sad, and angry to see and read about kids who where treated this way, I am very surprised anyone could be treated this way. I love and keep reading it.My teachers are started to get mad because they think it might put me in a depression but I can't stop reading this book!

GREAT B0OK!
This book is very touching because it shows other how lucky they are to have a good family. And like for kids to say that their life sucks and to read this book is like wow they have no idea!!!! What spoiled little kids we have these days! But my point this is a very good book and everyone that says that their life sucks should read this book because THEY HAVE NO IDEA!
Lovey

oh my goshh
This book is the best book I have ever read. While reading this book I thought to myself, who would have the nerve to treat a little boy like this? It got so interesting and for days I kept my head in it and I couldn't stay away from it. I told all my friends about it and they got interested in it too. In a way this book inspired me. I never knew this could happen. I'm glad you were able to get away from the abuse.
This will always be my favorite book, it seems so unrealistic. I will never read a book as good as the one you wrote.
sincerely,
