A Child Called "It"

I have just recently finished my third book, Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks, but I already talked about that. Right now I am going to try to talk about the second book I read called A Child Called "It," by Dave Pelzer.  This book was a "easy read" about a very hard topic, child abuse.  If you do not like sad books, I suggest not reading this.  I cried a lot, and this book was very hard to comprehend.  Sometimes you need to know what is going on in the world, without censorship, and this book really would open your eyes. Child abuse is a sensitive topic, and Pelzer tells every detail of his experience.  This book made me question why he would write it for the public to see, but I think he felt he needed too.  This book is a series, with two other books after it.  It was a good book, about a very sad topic.+

  2. My friend recommended it to me last year and even if he gave me a brief summary of it, I could not stop the fear going through myself. This is the most sensitive topic I have ever known. About what you were wondering, why he wrote a book about it. I think he was tired of living in the dark and wanted some recognition that he is a person in this world and he is capable of doing things others can. I might just pick this book to read next. :);)
