We were told to do a book review about a book we had recently read.The book i have chosen is "A child called it" by Dave Pelzer.
The book is a autobiography by Dave Pelzer.He writes about his struggle to stay alive in his home where he is treated like a slave and an animal.The book is three stories in one.The first "A child called it"story is about his childhood life living as a slave and being abused by his mother.The second story "A lost Boy" is about Dave being rescued by a social worker and and sent off to live in a foster home.As Dave doesn't settle in well with the new families he see himself being sent off to another foster home.The last story "A man named Dave" is about Dave leaving the foster home at 18 and going off to the air force.
The book is very gruesome, horrifying, disturbing but is also a very intriguing and you will want to read to the end.
My favorite character is Dave growing up as an abuse and neglected child and doing so well in ife to prove his mother a point.He is one of the strongest characters i have come across in a novel
The end of the novel was definitely opposite to the beginning of the novel.I like the novel because it was a autobiography so the story was coming from the real life of the writer himself.He gives a message of how child abuse is happening and how serious it is.This book is totally different to any other book I have ever read.
