Advantages: You cannot put this book down

Disadvantages: Sad/ sickening

This is the first of three books written by Dave Pelzer and tells the true story of his early yet rough years as a child.

Dave' s a young child who suffer's and the hand's of his alcoholic mother, who no longer treats him as a son let alone a person, he is known as an it.

This is a brutal tale and shows how nobody else even realised the suffering this child was going through.

I was recomended this book by my mam and at the time was not into books at all. But, this book is an amazing yet sickening book that really pulls on your heart strings. This book shows how strong some people must be to write about their awful childhood and also how sickening some people can be for putting not just a child but their own child through it.

I thouroughly enjoyed this book and do not have a bad word to say about it. However, be aware that it is a sickening story.

I would just like to say that Dave Pelzer is an amazing and strong person for being able to cope with this while still having a hope that one day he would be in a loving and caring family far away from his mother.

Summary: A true story of a boy being brutally beaten and the hands of his mother
