 Dave Pelzer Books December 16, 2008
You just cannot phantom what Mr. Pelzer went through as a child. The courage is unbelievable and I admire him so very much. There is too much child abuse in society and children are tormented not to speak out because they love their parents the ones who are abusing. Mr. Pelzer's books are about himself and his horrible life as a child, teenager and young man. You have to read these books to better understand how much abuse is in our world. Then maybe it will help you realize that something needs to be done and it's better to make the call and be wrong than to not make it at all and possibly have a child lose his life. Order the books now!!
 Slow but helpful May 29, 2008
It took a while for me to get my order but the seller was extreamly helpful and answered all my questions very fast. Product is in great shape!! Better then described!!
 Unecessary and not very good May 29, 2008
This book covers a time that was already written about in The Lost Boy. Despite my love for Dave's other books I think this was an attempt to milk out more money from his already established fans. This book does not give much more information about his life and only a few forgettable fun stories about his teenage years. Don't waste your time on this one, just read the first three.
 Not his best work May 3, 2008
I have read A Child Called "It", The Lost Boy, A Man Named Dave and Help Yourself and I must say that this book was not Dave's best work. The writing did not keep me interested as his other books have. While reading this I felt like the passion just wasn't there.
Read every Dave Pelzer book April 20, 2008
Read every Dave Pelzer book he writes. He is an exceptional human being. There should be more people like him without having to go through the abuse he endured.
