My Story

This book is number 2, loved reading this book, hard to put down.

Good read true story it’s about a boy whose life was so horrendous, but was able to live through it and become a very powerful man

This book was perfect! I used to have all 3 and never got them back when I loaned them out. David Pelzer is an amazing survivor. This is such a treat to have all 3 books combined into 1!

I have read the first book a child called it a long time ago then half of the next book about his youth someone then barowed them and never returned so I was looking to buy them again and found this book with both books plus a third about him as an adultA very awesome bookI love that after you read one book the next story of his life is right there in the same book you can just start the next book right awayIt’s a amazing story of his survival at a very young age then keeps going through adulthoodIt doesn’t keep you hangin.I would definitely recommend getting this book📕 it’s one you won’t want to put down

My child read book 1 at school and requested to continue the series. I found this 3-in-1 book and my child was very happy.

Dave Pelzer is my hero! He is also my angel! He has touched my life and inspired me to persevere in spite of being a victim of severe and repeated physical and sexual child abuse over the course of my infant (physical abuse) to early teenage years. I live in the pages of this book...not in some of the same horrific and inhumane treatments that Dave Pelzer endured at the hands of his "Mother" but in the hurt, fear and pain shared by all children who have been joined by this unfortunate bond. My experiences were different but yet so extremely damaging and and in my case it was the raping not only of the body (at the age of 10) but of the mind, spirit and innocence of someone who wasn't even given a choice (or a chance)! That's the tragedy of it all. The body heals...the bruises go away...even bones heal and welts subside but...the mind...that is a little harder to tame and to heal. It's happening and God willing someday before I die I will feel at peace with it all. I'm working on it. I want to know ME! I want to know the real me. I think I'm finding her and she's not so bad...in spite of it all! :-) I know I have the ability to love...and that in itself is a miracle. For that I am extremely thankful!I am so thankful to Dave Pelzer for sharing his story and for making it "ok" to talk about our experiences and for putting the blame where it belongs...certainly NOT on us!God bless the little children. God protect the children!

I first read this book about 15 years ago. When I picked it up and read the inside of the cover, it was so sad that I wept. I was so emotionally moved that I went on to the first chapter. As I continued reading about Dave Pelzer's dark childhood experiences, my weeping stopped and before I even realized it my sadness turned into anger and I couldn't put the book down.I work with "At Risk" teenagers and some of them can relate to these stories. Although some of them are just whiny brats, complaining about their parents and thinking the world owes them something and to stop blaming everyone else for their behavior.So I like them to read about an individual that really suffered at the hands of his parents. I want them to understand the differences between coming from a home with a loving family that enforces rules and gives good direction and one that is truly terrifying where there is abuse, neglect, fear and constant struggle.

Although i had read the first two books some time ago i was looking for the third installment to Daves story. So when i got on amazon an found the 3 in 1 i decided i would start from the beginning. I must say that i have not yet finished reading it but so far it has been an amazing read. I have never been more touched by a book then i have been while reading David's story. The book has made me sad, an angry an also made me just want to break down an cry for David. The horrible things he was put through growing up are things no one person should ever have to experience let alone a young innocent child such as David. My only hope is that David has a long happy life surrounded with lots of love wih his wife an son. An that hopefully everyone whom reads his story will pass it on so that maybe through reading it peoples lives might actually be changed. Wheather it be an abuser who sees the error of his or hers ways or a victim who realizes there is help an reaches out so that they don't have to suffer at he hands of their abuser. I know Davids story sure makes me thankful for the childhood i had an makes me want to hug my children a little tighter at night thats for sure. I strongly recomend this book to anyone with the warning that you will be truly saddened an angered at the tragedy that was David's childhood.

I love this book I have been buying the same books like child called it the lost boy and a man called Dave people kept stealing it from me now I have all 3 in one book just love it came fast to just love it

This book wants to kill you

A hard read but great book

Heart rendering read.. can't believe tht it's a true story. Sometimes truth feels more fictional than fiction. Have re read it twice . Loved the book. Would recommend all book lovers to read it once

Das Buch ist ziemlich extrem & hab an manchen Enden wirklich wahnsinnige Wut gehabt auf das System von damals & die Situation. Dieses Buch ist schwer zu lesen, auf Grund der Dinge, die dem Mann wiederfahren sind, jedoch ist es auch sehr gutes Buch zur Aufklärung und ich hoffe, dass bestimmte Instanzen nach diesem Buch agiert haben bzw. so etwas schneller unterbunden werden kann!
