Dave Pelzer's first book in this series is Amazing. What
actually happened to him as a child is hard to imagine. This was a number one
New York Times bestseller for months and is an inspirational story.
David was renamed “It” by his evil mother. His childhood
begins as the life everyone hopes for. He enjoyed visits to the zoo, lake trips
with family, and being cuddled by his mom while listening to a great book.
David's life drastically changed when he became a first-grader. His mother and
father developed drinking problems. It's very hard to read about all the
sadistic “games” his mother dreamed up.
When you read some of what happens, you'll wonder how anyone
could even think of doing such things to their own child. This book really
makes you wonder how many other children suffer such abuse. As his teachers,
principal, neighbors, and even his father stand by and let the abuse happen, it
makes you wonder what you would have done. This book is extremely well written.
All of the Horrifying details help you to visualize what he went through. There
are more books in this series, and you'll want to read them all once you begin.
Book Review by Mohamud A.
I agree with your review. What the mother does to David is unbelievable. Everything that he mother put David through was absolutely horrible. I could never imagine doing anything like that or see that happening to anyone. Overall, the book was amazing and I really liked it.
