A Child Called It

I read a book called "A Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer. This book's genre is autobiography. I chose this book because a friend recommended it to me.

All David, the main character, wanted was love. All David got was abuse. His life was hopeless and really sad starting from young age. His mom, Catherine Roevera, always stood in the way. She totally ruined his life forever! David's brothers, Ron, Dave, Stan, Richard (Rusell), and Kevin, also made him hate his life! David's mom abused David. She was an alcoholic and had a mental disorder. She hated David and did everything possible to make his life the worse it can ever be! David was tortured by starvation, beatings, extreme mental cruelty, and almost murder. The school payed no attention to any of this because David's mom proved to them that David was a lyer and made everything up. They came to a point where they believed her. Until it was proven that she was the one that was lying to them all this time. The school then changed this whole situation and helped David get to his father. His father and his mother were divorsed.

Two things that I liked about this book is that it is a true story and not made up. I also like that the book is very touching. I didnt like that the book was so full of child abuse! :( The age group that is apprpriete for is 10+. The reading level it is recomended for it 4/10. I would recommend it to a friend. The kind of people that would like this book is anyone that likes to read.
