This book is packed with emotion. It is a journey through the eyes of a helpless child trying to survive the abuse of his own mother. It will have you flipping page after page wanting to find the truth. ( )

This book is the best. It's so sad, but it's amazing. Dave isn't scared about telling people about the way he had to live. I would recomend it to everyone to read. ( )

This book is one of the saddest but most amazing books that I have ever read. Dave Pelzer does not "sugar coat" anything. He tells you how he lived it and I think thats what makes the book so great!
I would recamend this book to people over the age of 16 ( )

This is an absolutely heartbreaking novel, but one that needs to be read. It will make you cry for certain, but at the same time, it will open your eyes to the reality of child abuse. ( )
