A Man Named Dave

I have recently read a book called 'A Man Named Dave'. The book was written by Dave Pelzer. The book was a true story and was part of the 'A Child Called It' series. Hankies at the ready readers this is very emotional story.

The book had text that was easy to read and understand. The story kept you hooked from the very first page. The book is emotional and upsetting but it is a fantastic book to read and i would recommend it to anyone.

The story was about a young man named Dave. As Dave was growing up he was never respected by his family and was in and out of foster homes for most of his life. As the story goes on you learn more and more about the success this young man had made of his life. At eighteen Dave enlisted in the Airforce, he had always wanted to do this as a young boy. However enlisting in the Airforce was not easy for Dave as he had no academics behind him but he did succeed. Dave then met a young lady and he feel in love. They soon moved in together and Dave was soon welcoming his baby son Stephen into the world. Such a happy occassion for Dave and his wife but still his mother and family didn't want to know. However Dave's happiness was to be short lived as Dave and his wife split up and Dave was on his own again woth only the visits from his young son to look forward to. Dave was to be happy once again however when he feel in love with the lady who was helping him get the book which he had written ready for publishing. Was Dave to get a second chance at happiness and succeed second time round? I would strongy recommend that you read this book and find out it really is fantastic.

I give this book a star rating of five. It was a great book to read. It was an emotional story that pulled on the heart strings. Many tears appeared throughout this book but were they tears of happiness or tears of sorrow and pain? Who knows only reading the book will help you decide. Happy Reading
