im 15, and i love books, especially romance but i when i saw this book at the bookshop and read the blurb i just had to buy it. I read this book in 2 days, i just couldnt put this book down. This has given me inspiration to view the world through a different perspective. This book has changed my life forever. I have cried at least more thatn 10 times while reading this book, through tears of sadness and a few laughs, a book that will not fail to move you.

A Man Named Dave
Review written by: Marylouise Flynn From
This book is well written and I would recommend it to any teachers and students for insight into child abuse and how someone can make their life matter by not continuing the cycle of abuse. I also recommend A Child Called It by the same author.

The first two are more compelling
Review written by: ebaymom From Northern California
I understand that I'm in the minority here, but I truly found this third book in the series by Peltzer to be preachy and over the top. I realize that the bok is a celebration of his triumph over the abuse and atrocities that he suffered, but I felt that the first two books were more "real" than this one. I can almost feel the presense of a finger reaching out, shacking, and wagging at the reader. I didn't even read the next one because I felt turned off by this one. No disrespect meant to the author.

David Pelzer's best book
Review written by: Kristine Pinzon From Brooklyn, New York
I loved this book. I already read A child called it & The Lost Boy. I was touched by all three. However A Man named Dave brought tears to my eyes and made me very emotional. I applaud David Pelzer for sharing his life. He seems to be a re-markable man.

Amazing
Review written by: Albert T. Cochran From
I have read the trilogy of this book and believe it to be uplifting and just truly amazing. It makes you strive to be all you can be and to treat others in the way you want to be treated. He is a true inspiration to anyone.

Excellent

Very well written book. It is very inspiring. Once you start reading you cant put it down. This man has been through so much and triumphed.
