Kevin Lewis, The Kid: A True Story

I liked this book, it was well written but I found it a little to sad to finish all the way to the end.

I would recommend it to someone who likes true stories but is not of a mild temperament.

I found this book to be riveting and exciting! I could not put it down for one second and have already recommended it to all my friends and of course my book club group!

this is my second time reading this book and wow, its absolutely fabulous! im on the 5th page and i felt a real feeling of sorrow as kevin has obviously had a hard life! i honestly felt like i needed to somehow reach kevin and tell him that everything would be okay! i could not feel any more sorry for this man. i slammed the book down in horror and googled kevin lewis i had to somehow tell him how his book made me feel. it really touched my heart and i could not stop crying as i turned the page. even though i have read this book before and know what will happen i cant help but hope that his life will change in the future! no on deserves the abuse that this fantastic writer has been through and i applaud kevin for coming forward and gracing everybody with his talent to write and bring up his sad past. this will forever remain the book that i will read when nothing else will surfice i cant wait till i reach the end. i will definitely be passing this book on as it has real flavour and truly moves you!

Excellent Book! Kevin should be very proud of the person he has become, so many Children from abusive backgrounds end up going down the wrong road your book just shows that anything is possible if you want it! Well Done Kevin give yourself a pat on the back. (am half way through "The Kid Moves On"). Judi.

i couldnt put Kevin Lewis, The Kid: A True Story down,the emotions i felt whilst reading really hit hard.i too missed my childhood.fantastic book kevin.

I travel a lot and so have started listening to audio books! They are much better than listening to music. Overall, I really enjoyed this The Kid: A True Story audio book - however, as much as I want to sympathize with Kevin, I'm finding it really hard! Being born into the era that we were has always been difficult - we have all (of a similar age) faced poverty and a very tough life.

I was born with phsyical disabilities and my parents had me institutionalised at a very early age (4, I believe). I was so very unhappy too . My brothers and sisters were "normal". While I was not abused by my parents (but, greatly abused in the institution) I could never bear a grudge against people that didn't know any better i.e my parents. Kevin, your parents didn't know any better either and I hope that one day you will forgive them.

After listening to the story about David Pelzer Kevin Lewis, The Kid: A True Story really took my breath away from the brutal kicks punches and stabbing by a so called parent..... My heart really wet out to this story.

This book is the best I've ever read and I don't read many but this one made me cry.

I loved this book. It's so emotional and very addictive if i can say. All parents should read this book and all people who abuse others and most of all people who get abused. It showed me that a life of abuse can turn out to be a success.

I've just finished the book, my brother gave me it to read. The book was good to read and i enjoyed it, i think it was good that he wrote a book about how he lived and how he managed to turn everything around. With reading this book i now think if you want to do something you can. There is nothing that will get in your way if you want it that much. I have to say enjoy the rest off your life with you wife and kids if anything you deserve it. But for anyone reading this comment if you haven't read the book yet, i say you get out there and get it.
