A Story of hope...
|
|
I really enjoyed this book and read it within two days. It answered alot of my questions from a boy called it and I found it easy to read and digest. This is a story of hope and the fact that a person can go through hell and remain intact.

ABSORBING,DISTURBING AND DEEPLY SAD.
|
The story of a little boy who suffered unimaginable cruelty at the hands of his alcoholic and disturbed mother. His father was no better - walking out and leaving dave and his brothers to their fate. This, and dave`s other books, will leave you speechless and deep in thought for a long time after you`ve put them down.
Makes you want to find Dave, put your arms around him, and tell him it`s alright, it`s over now - God bless him.

Let down
|
|
I was deflated reading the third in the trilogy and have to admit skipping to the last four pages and closing the book never wanting to open again. Its SAD BECAUSE THE FIRST ONE held my attention, the second if I am honest not as steadfastly as the first and the third.......well you can see. I just hope others that are in the same genre don't fall so badly. Has any one read the second in the trilogy of "A house full of whispers?" If so. Will I be wasting my money also? Like I said disappointingly let down

Still good!

The last in the triology of Dave Pelzers unimaginable life, but not a wonderful book as were the other two. I felt the end really dragged out about his love life, and found it boring as i don't really enjoy love stories! Still a good ending to the triology!

The End
|
A Man Named Dave is the 3rd and final part of Dave Pelzer's story. The first two books detail Dave's life as a child suffering horrendous abuse and torture at the hands of his mother and his eventual journey through America's social care system. A Man Named Dave finishes the story by following Dave as he enlists in the U.S Air force as an adult and finally finds peace.
Although this book is a vital part of the story I didn't find it as engaging or interesting as the first books, The author tends to repeat himself far too often in this book and on a few occasions I found myself skipping whole paragraphs when the sentences and conversations within the book became too boring, predictable or long and drawn out, by the time I was on the final chapters I was looking forward to finishing the book.
Although it's good to know what happened to Dave and how he turned out this book is nowhere near as good as the first two, the ending is a good one although the feelings of sadness regarding what happened to this family still linger on with the reader.
If you have read the first two books, you need to read A Man Named Dave, if not this book will not have much meaning and may become boring very quickly.
