A boy called It

[Tangerinedream]

Has anybody read it? OMG, Im only a few chapters in but it is horrifying. The poor child I really hope both his parents were punished. Dont spoil it for me tho if you have read it

 

[mrs_tommo22]

Its a great read but so so sad

 

[Tangerinedream]

Just realised its called a child called it

 

[xrachx]

I have read it, its awful isnt it and its true, how anyone could do that to another human being let alone their own child.

I have read this lots of times it is a fantastic book. You don't realise families like this exist.

i read this one and a few after and thought they were all brilliant, but then I began to get a little fed up of them, a bit depressing, there are so many books out there now which are full of horrific stories!

A good one I liked was "where it all went right!" the author was so fed up with stories of bad chidhoods that he wrote a book about a normal childhood, the author was from northants (where I live) so it was all the better as mentioned some places I used to go to!

Appaently his case of child abuse was one of the worse noted...

If you read this book I must suggest you read the lost boy and a man Named Dave...

Bloody fantastic!!! And puts it actually changed my perception on life after reading those books!!

i think although a child called it was very deep it was a positive story in the end because it came to show how although a child could be so badly abused they can grow up to become successful and go on to lead a successful life.

I also feel these books can be helpful to those that have been abused to know there are others out there that have come out the other side and lead a positive life.

ive read it very good and very sad...read all the sequals to it as well there just as good.

 

[Freya]

I have read them found them sickening at times to read. Sad to think that those things still go on I am sure. At least it was a positive story at the end.

 

[paradysso]

the boys brother has now written his version of their childhoos with their mother, keep planning on reading it, will find some time soon

read the book about the magdelin laundries in ireland if you think that book was horrible, it alot more upsetting, i will look what the title is and let u know.

 

[Freya]

Parayso that isn't the one called the light in the window or something like that - about the girls who had children out of wedlock?

 

[zebrastripes]

Iread it.I don't really like books like that as a rule ("Daddy please Don't" ) but I thought it was very good

 

[charlie84]

I have read all of David Peltzers books, and read his brothers book also. So so bad what they had to go through.
I also have read the book about the magdelen (sp?) laundries. It is quite horrible to think these things go on but they do.

 

[Steelgoddess]

Yeah i can see that some can be a bit much...

I think as long as they are well written,they're OK,but my cousin is addicted to them,and from what I've seen,a lot seem to be sensationalist nonsense On saying that I read one a while ago,can't remember what it was called but it was about the abuse from Christian Brothers,and although it was pretty graphic,it was a really powerful book.
