Book Review - A Child Called It by David Pelzer

David was horrifically abused by his own mother and I this book has affected me the most of all the things I have read. It stayed with me for months afterwards, with haunting images of the defenceless young boy fighting for his life. Not only is the story-line so engrossing that it is impossible to put down, the descriptive language is so intense that the image that Pelzer is trying to portray is will near enough explode into your mind, scarring it for a long while. I recommend this book to everyone, with a strong warning that it will almost definitely change your way of thinking about life forever. Faint-hearted people I would tell to stay away, but those with a strong stomach for emotions and heart-ache should, without a doubt, give this story a go.
