Good Points
An amazing book, it shows how someone can cope with anything.
Bad Points
Dave Pelzer's mother. Read the book, she has a lot to answer for.
General Comments
Dave Pelzer, A child called It. I started to read it one Sunday morning and finished it 2 hours later after not being able to put it down. The cruelty that Dave Pelzer suffers at the hands of his mother is beyond belief. I have gone on to read all of Dave Pelzers books and believe that he is a truly amazing person, not only to survive what his mother did to him, but also to come out of it all a honest, careing respectable person.
