Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
The third tale in David Pelzer's autobiographical trilogy, A Man Named Dave is an inspiring story of terror, recovery and hope experienced by the author throughout his life. Known for his work as an advocate against child abuse, Pelzer has been commended by several US presidents and international agencies, and his previous memoirs of growing up as an abused child (A Child Called It and The Lost Boy) have touched thousands of lives. He provides living proof that we can "stop the cycle" and lead fulfilling, rewarding lives full of healthy relationships. Ultimately triumphant, this book will have you living through the eyes of a terrified child, a struggling young man, and an adult finally forgiving his dying father--reading with tissues nearby is recommended. Ending with a touching conversation between the author and his own son, you will finish reading this with a warm heart and an enriched understanding of the need for compassion in all parts of life. --Jill Lightner

I read customer reviews prior to purchasing this book. I decided, based on one woman's critique that the story was too redundant;-rehashing the 1st 2 books in the trilogy, that I would go ahead and read this book without having read the first two. I found the story riveting. I'd wanted to read this to hear the story of someone who survived the ordeal of child abuse and came out of it a whole person. I was impressed, sad, angry, and amazed. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking encouragement regarding or belief in a life after abuse. After reading this I of course had to get the other 2 books in the trilogy. I bought and read the first this afternoon. Although I understand that the idea was the story was being told in the words of a child I was far less impressed. Maybe this work set out to be a trilogy from the beginning, but it seemed to me that the book came to a sudden ending for no reason. If you plan to read all 3 books read them in order. Otherwise, just read the final book.

This is one son's survival of a harrowing childhood in which his mother, unhindered by any intervention, besieged her oldest child with imprisonment, starvation & torture. This is the third in David J. Pelzer's memoirs yet is complete unto itself.
Because of the childhood Dave survived he was uneducated in the ways of society & the military yet this resilient young man sets out to earn a career in the air force where he thrives. Along the way he marries the first girl he meets & has a son who gives his life meaning. Even though his marriage is fraught with trouble there are good times & when it finally ends it is done so with kindness.
When, after many years, he reconnects with his mother & visits her in the home of his childhood, we get to watch as the cobra mesmerizes her prey until... Must remember that Dave's childhood was before most of the laws about child abuse in the home were even thought of let alone enacted!
The truly inspirational transformation in Dave's memoir is his relationship with his dying father & the well of compassion & forgiveness he finds within. Then the love of his life enters & Dave is truly on the way to healing. All this while he has been giving talks about surviving abusive childhoods & writing books. In time he has become a major voice in the protection & survival of battered children. An amazing, heart-wrenching vital read! Highly recommended!

JUST TONIGHT, I MET DAVE PELZER. HE DID A LECTURE IN MY HOMETOWN. HE IS THE MOST AMAZING MAN I'VE EVER HAD THE HONOR TO MEET. ALL THREE OF HIS BOOKS WERE AMAZING. NOT A SINGLE ONE BETTER THAN THE OTHER! TO SEE ONE MAN GO THROUGH AS MUCH AS HE HAS, AND TURN OUT AS GOOD AS HE HAS, IS ALMOST UNBELEIVABLE. I AM A 22 YEAR OLD MALE, AND THIS IS THE FIRST HUMAN BEING THAT HAS MADE SUCH A HUGE IMPACT ON MY LIFE! I SUGGEST YOU ALL READ HIS BOOKS!!!!!!
