A Child Called It

         In the beginning of October, I read the book A Child Called It. This book is a memoir of Davids childhood. The reason why I choose this book was because it seemed very intresting because the child did not have a name. As soon as i first started reading it i was amazed and i could never put my book away. Im not that much of a reader but this book hooked me.

       This book is about a child that always is being abused by his mother and has no one to go to for help. The childs name is Dave Pelzer and I felt so bad for him the whole book. The mom would never have mercy for this child, she was always drunk or being mean. The child would have to always find his way around things by himself. Like for example, he would have to steal food because his mom never fed him. She would watch him starve and torture him. Alot of my friends are reading this book and they really enjoy this book. The reason why I enjoy this book is because I love true storys about peoples lifes. When I finished the first one, I just wanted to get my hands on the second one. I havent recieved the second one yet but I know I will love it. This book is also short, like an easy read. This is the reason why I picked this book because it is a quick read and its very addicting. I reccomend this book to other people such as my friends. My other friends thanked me for telling them about this book.

       I loved this book and it was a inspiration for me. I enjoyed it the whole way through and hope to read the whole series! My favorite parts of the book was when the boy would try and fight back because I always had hope in him to leave or try to beat her. I hope other people read this to feel the emotion I had. This book is a great read for everyone, please check out this book people!
