"I knew what to expect when I first picked up this book and begun reading it. Not to say that it is a terrible predictable book, it's actually quite the opposite. I remember awhile back I read Dave Pelzer's other books of him as child going through extreme levels of child abuse from his psychotic mother. I was sucked into all those books he wrote. They had so much life in them, that it felt like you were in the shoes of Dave Pelzer as a child. "A man Named Dave" had a different feel and tone then the two other books he wrote about his childhood. In this book he talks about his life as an adult, when he is grown up and on his own in the world. This book had a different tone then the other books he wrote because the other stories had more fear in it since Dave was just a child and was completely helpless. In this one, Dave had more power now then he did before and was no longer afraid to be in the presence of his mother. This is a great story along with the other two books he wrote. It is a must-read!!"
"This book was very tedious to wade through, and as Pelzer developed his series, and became more confident in his writing, he became more wordy and as such this book was far and away the worst of a poor series. I think it's a little rich of him to claim the book is about forgiveness: he clearly hasn't forgiven his mother at all for the abuse she handed out when he was a child, nor has he forgiven the foster care system that didn't give him the attention he needed.
Yes, there's one thing to be said for needing to have your story told. I think he milked his opportunity to keep writing, and should have stopped at the first book, or at least culled this one a little."
"I finally got myself to read this book, the third book of Dave Pelzer's memoir about his childhood. It has been quite a while since I read the first two book, and after reading this book, it brings back the memories of the old ones. The books details some of the childhood experiences Dave endured and continues on to talk about his adulthood. It is a good transition from childhood to adulthood since he no longer has to suffer abuses from his mother. Though, he has to deal with his father's death and because of this, he wants to be a firefighter. Out of all three books, the first book was the most touching, but this one is good too."
"I am half way through this one. This is a amazingly true tale that allows the reader to realise something. It is NEVER too late to learn, to live and make things happen.
I have now finished the book. I was right. There are so many words- so many ways to describe this bok.All-inspiring. True. Heartfelt. Breath taking. Harsh yet Realistic. Up heaving. Sad. Happy. Beautiful. Amazing. Moral filled. Completely true. I love this book- it's a great read, teaches you a life lesson (which is learnt in two ways: experiance or like this.) and is inspiring...truely.
I recommend this to all who wish to understand the way people can be and to anyone who just wants to read something that is true with a HAPPY ending. Because we all know the news tells all whats wrong with the world, its people-but tends to forget to report the good in it too."
