Book Review
David Pelzers book "a Child Called It" was absolutely amazing. This book taught me to never feel bad for myself, because there will always be someone that has it a lot worse off than I will ever have it. I mean when David's mother made him swallow ammonia(which is Clorox and other cleaning supplies), or when she threw a knife at him and it hit him in the chest, it was very shocking that some kids actually go through violent acts like that with their parents.
I loved how descriptive David was in this book. It was like I was there through the whole book. Like when he described his mothers face looked when she would get mad, or how her house smelt, I could see it. The way he described this book was spectacular! David had brothers, they treated him terribly because their mother had brained washed them to think that David was a "bad boy", and that's why she would "punish" him.
David absolutely loved his dad. David looked up to his father as if he was his superhero. David's dad would sometime either bring him food(since his mother starved him for days), or just even acknowledge him. That was enough for David, when his dad was around he felt loved.
The settings of this book were either at school, in the kitchen, bathroom, or in the basement. I know that's a limited area of settings but just with those four places went so well with the story.
There is not one book I could compare this to because I have never read a book like this one. I wish more authors wrote stories like David's. It really changed my perspective on how some of the lower class kids really have it at home, and it's not their fault that they can't dress nicely or always smell like they've had a bath. After I read " A Child called It" I appreciate everything my parents do for me.
I can't make a connection personally because I have never been treated that bad in my life. This book made me thankful for everything I have.
