The book The Lost Boy by David Pelzer, was a poorly written book. David failed to prompt his feelings as a foster child in this book, therefore there is no tie between the character and the reader. Knowing the feelings emerging from inside the character is an vital key to get into the book. Lacking them, it can cause the book to drag on and seem nearly never ending. I wouldn’t recomend to read this book even if the first book had been read and loved.

I sympathize with Pelzer for enduring such horrific childhood abuse. But, enduring child abuse doesn’t automatically make one a thoughtful or even a competent writer. The Lost Boy too regularly seems like a baggy E.C. Comics knockoff, with the young Pelzer fleeing in terror from his one-dimensional, monstrous mother. Nobody must have proofread this book; in its dopiest scene, set in the 1970s, the young Dave anachronistically pumps his fist in triumph and says “Yes!”

i read his first book ,and to me it was the sadest book i read , i finished it in a couple of hours, this book was just as excellent , i do not know parents like his why do they have kids these kind of parents should be severly punished or sterilized so they do not have any kids ,no kid deserve that kind of bringing up ,a childhood is only once and it should be pleased!and kids are our future,i am looking forwards to reading his third book he is a hero and should be very proud of himself!

I also read “A child called it” amidst the glowing reviews from all ends of amazon-world. Sorry to say, I was forced to skim these books voraciously, unable to control my desire to end out of pure boredom… I kept hoping, as each chapter passed, I would find enlightenment. Any teenage or childhood angst reflected was seemingly written to extract pity; I wanted to empathize, but the excellent natured Forrest Gump-like quality of “It’s” life induced only severe cynicism on my part.
Perhaps it just wasn’t written to my taste and I therefore couldn’t find the satisfaction as evidenced in the additional reviews. I kept wondering if David was at all severly socially impacted and psychologically haywired due to all this neglect and abuse– do you reflect? Where was the analysis of this? His own self reflection and soul searching? If agreed the same experiences, the content reflects not at all my probable feelings/reactions in the face of percieved social banishment during my definitive influential years. I would be way bitter but coping.
Maybe my review is, after all, a tribute to David’s disposition, sensibility and temperment against all odds. Perhaps. My apologies. Just read the Girl’s Guide to Hunting and Fishing. Loved it. Must be me.
