A Boy Called It

[turtlenap]

I recently read this book and it's so touching and sad. It made me want to throw up and cry at the same time. I really recommend it because it's a true story written by the boy himself, now grown into a healthy adult. The author is David Pelzer, this book is part of a trilogy, I intend to read the other two later.

I loved that book, it was indeed touching and very sad. It took me half the day to finish it because I didn't put it down. By the end of it I cried. The way his mother treated him was insensitive and extrememly cruel and she made everyone think Dave was the crazy one.

I read "Lost Boy" (second book) it was a good book too, it was about him going through different foster homes. I still need to read the third one "A man named Dave", which i've been told is good too.

I think I've heard quite a few good reviews about the Lost Boy, I'm currently reading the Da Vinci Code(which I requested and waited forever to get) but I will get The Lost Boy and A Man Named Dave. I want to finish reading about David Pelzer's life, it's worth reading.

[zĒa£]

Do you mean 'A Child Called It' or a 'A Boy Called It'? I haven't read the book but now I feel like checking it out

[kyooteaznchik]

its a " A Child Called It" zeaf
anyways i read part of the first one all of the second one and i heard the third one was pretty good but mostly aimed towards adults...anyways i cried during the first and second...its almost unbelieveable how the mother treated him....ahh so sad...

[BeatExeter710]

It's a really good book, but I read it two years ago, so I don't remember much about it. I think there might have been another book called "They Cage the Animals at Night" by the same person, and it might be part of the same thing.

BTW: Uh, I've never seen whoever started this Thread before. Turtle's Nap? Uh... anyway, hey.

Very good indeed. I forgot that parents would abuse children like that because i have it so good. I really felt bad when i read it and now i look at life a whole new way.I wanna read the other ones too.

Well, I've heard of A Boy Called It. My English teacher talked about it, and the tragedy of it. I want to read it, but the thing is, I've heard that it's pretty traumatic things, for adults. Still, I'd give it a try. It's an interesting thing to read, and yes, it must be so sad. Imagine being called "it" as if you were nothing more than an animal.

I read part of it in class.Its not that good.Its boring, the **** was kinda funny how his mom kicked his ass alot,and never fed him.

[blinks]

Makes me mad on how people could do things like that. But it was a good book.

[BlackdevilStar]

wait wait wait what exactly is the book about...is it a biography about the youngmans life as he grows up or something?.. or like is it justa story telling about all the crap hes gon through to become the man he sis today..?

[Hopeless]

I read this book and it is fantastic. I highly suggest someone who didnt read it, to read it. I never read the other two books but i might soon.

[arcrode]

How much does it cost?

[Kirby Ate Vash]

I'm currently reading the Da Vinci Code(which I requested and waited forever to .


man thats an old book but good. u should read the deception point ;angels and demons they r the sequals. but just a warning at the end of all the books they all have a sex scene so dont get offened

and to ur thread i havent read the book but wat i heard about it, its makes me not really wanna read it

[gillianvalkyrie]

If you loved this book, then I recommend Victor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning". It has the same theme, only better.

[NightNinja666]

that's awesome,the name of the book is?

[Dark_Phoenix]

i alwayz wanted to read it!!! but i never got my hands on it...so i kinda gave up on looking for it. lol.

[KaitlinRainey]

One of my friends just read this book. They said they loved it...so I might read it. Not sure though.

[Rinoa_Heartilly]

Heard a lot about it, apparently it's still rated as one of the saddest true stories that one can read. I'm one of those people that can be easily touched if I think about it, so I'd agree with you most likely. Thing is though, I've heard too much of it to the point where I'd prefer to read others... but I might give it a chance.
