People live lives so carelessly that they forget how precious life can be. But there are some people out their that value the meaning of life because they don’t have one. Now you might be wondering how is it possible for someone who doesn’t have a life even realize life? Confusing yes but not for Dave Pelzer. Dave Pelzer has been through sick times and unimaginable horror with his biological mother. Now you must be wondering how could someone’s mother do anything to her child, its not possible. In fact the question at issue is how could she even be a mother with her cruel behavior with the child? That is where I start to tell you about the book I just read called “the Lost Boy” by Dave Pelzer himself. This book is the sequence to the first book, “A Child called It”. And does have a third book following this one.
Dave Pelzer as a child lived in a sick environment at home and when I say sick I mean just unimaginable things he had to go through that maybe in my sense a kidnapper might not have done when he/she abducts a child. At around age 5 in the first sequence Dave’s mother or as he likes to refer her as “The Mother”, started treating him bad by abusing him, making him wash bathrooms with hazardous chemicals, drink the chemicals, eat a baby’s number two from a diaper, beating him till he was knocked out, not giving him food and when he came home from school making him throw up any food he might have had from outside, and many more horrible forms of an abuse anyone might come up with. He never really lived like a normal child for instance his mother would make him sleep in the garage at nights where he would have no source of heating except his body heat and his dreams to take him away from the cruel reality he faces every millisecond of his life. The dogs were even treated better than Dave. But all of that stops when this second serial book starts.
Dave is finally taken out of the hell hole he had...
