Review:
Dave Pelzer begins telling "A Child Called "It" in the eyes of a little boy. He was born into a family who didn't really care about him. He is going through life miserable. His mother had thought abuse was the best way for him to get through life. She had began by starving him. He was unable to eat which really got to him. She would have a family dinner, and let him sit and listen to them all eat. When they were finished, he was given a time limit to get the dishes done, and if he had failed to get them done in time, his mother would take matters into her own hands. This book has very clear images as you read. The way the author describes these horrible events really gets you thinking about them.
This book was heart breaking to read, because the discipline was getting worse and worse. He would start to believe that he was going to die. He would do anything in his power to show his mother that she wouldn't hurt him as bad as she thought. I had gotten to the point where he was fighting for his life. There was a ton of different physical abuse being used, as well as verbal and mental.
This book is very eye opening, and I do recommend this book to anyone. It gives you a clear understanding of how severe child abuse can be.
