Summary: Read about the author's undying will to survive day to day.
Comment: The book starts out with a police officer telling the author, "David Pelzer, you're free." If you din't know that right from the beginning, reading this book would be unbearable. The first chapter tells how when he was very young, David Pelzer and his family led a "Brady Bunch" life. Then, at the age of five, something went horribly wrong with his mother. The author details the unspeakable abuse he suffered and describes his undying will to survive day to day. Hard proof that no matter how rough your childhood may have been, you can make something good of yourself. You don't have to continue being a victem through your adult life; David Pelzer suffered unbelievable childhood abuse at the hands of his mother, and by simply reading the back cover of this book, you can see he turned out to be a very productive adult. So often you hear of the cycle of abuse from parent to child. So often you hear people blame their adult behavior on how "messed up" their childhood was; Not David Pelzer. Also check out "The Lost Boy" to find out how the author went through foster care, therapy, and found the love of a healthy, giving family, at last.

Summary: Heartbreaking Story
Comment: David Pelzer,a troubled young boy, struggles to get through his hectic life. With his acholic,and abusive mother, who refers to him as an"it" his life story is filled aggonizing heartbreak, pain, and suffering. This book is a memoir of how this boy, David Pelzer, got through his life of hardship. He was stabbed, burned(by a gas stove), fed his brothers dirty diapers, and spoonfuls of ammonia. While this all is going on david's father stands by and watches this happen. David cannot believe this, so he developes a hate for his father. In the mean time his mother becomes more phyically and emotionally abusive. Then people start to notice, and David's mom gets mad at this. Luckly for David his teaher steps in to get him out of this mess. This story is told from the authors point of view. (he actually experienced this).
A Child Called It is an outstanding work of liturature, that revals the hardship of abused children. I felt as though I was in the story standing in the corner watching this happen to David.(almost like his dad perspective)Pelzer realistcally creates an emotion dialouge, and retells his story with so much detail.
A Child Called It is exciting, amotional, and moving. I recommend this outstanding work of lituature to anyone who likes to feel as if they were part of a story, as well as becoming attached to the characters.
