What I thought about the book
I have listened to a child called it, which is Dave Pelzer’s story. In Dave’s story the abuse was very downplayed, I am certain, because of various reasons. Richard, the younger brother, did not downplay the abuse. Although it was not as horrid as Dave’s experience, it was really bad. It took me about a month to read this story, not because I am a slow reader. It’s because of the sheer amount of violence that I had to stomach. People, if you are sensitive to this type of thing, DO NOT read this book. This is not for the fainthearted. I am not even kidding here.
The book was excellently written. It ends with a type of cliffhanger, so you’ll have to read the next book called A Teenagers Journey. So for that I give Richard and the editors a huge star.
As of what happened to Richard, we found a link that tells you what happened to him afterwards. You can click here and read the article:
