1: A Great Inspiration
This book A Child Called It is a inspiration to many people. I think that this story about this young boy might inspire you to try to make it through if you have had some hard times in your life. This book is not fiction this is a true story the boys name is Dave Pelzer he is the author of the book and the boy is Dave. Dave was abused by his mother earlier in his life badly his father tried to help but he couldn't do much. Its very inspiring and I think it would also be inspiring to you. There are two sequels that go along with this book.

2: ABUSED CHILDREN
I can tell you that from personal experience with my own son due to his father: That both Fireman's and Law Enforcement Families are some of the worst out there. The legal system allows them to get away with this kind of behavior by siding with them. Protective services fails these children most of the time by leaving them with the abusive parent or family. God help the children.

4: Heartbreaking
What a wonderful heartbreaking book. I read this book in one night. I tried to put it down after the chapter The Accident. I lay there in my bed and cannot stop my mind from wondering, what happened to this little boy. I had to finish it, that night. The next morning I ordered 3 more of David's books. 5 STAR BOOK

5: Too much detail from a child of 5 or 6
I found this book to be very disturbing in many ways.
First the shear horror of the acts inflicted on this child by a parent were too disturbing to complete.
Second, the detail that is included in the book from the time this man was 5 or 6 until he was 12 or 13 is just a little too over the top for me to believe it is actually the memory of a small child.
I am not denying that he was abused but I felt there was a little bit of embelishment from the adult writing.
I could not finish the book nor am I interested in ready the rest of his writtings. I find it amazing that he can over come the abuse and become a whole person but it was just a little much for me
