"A man named Dave is the third book from A Child Called IT and also The Lost Boy. Pelzer now struggles in the beginning with his career life but soon get in the Air force. He always had imagined himself as a firemen but there was some mistakes so he couldn't. Then he heard that his father was in very bad conditions, so he spends some last moments with his father. When he got back to the Air force he met a girl, which became his girl friend, then she got pregnant. So later on they got married, and had their first son. Since Dave had a lot of work problems, he got a divorce but he seen his son on his spare times. But they both had moved on, and finally as a man, Dave had so much experience with true life, with all questions and regrets that he couldn't bury but he just learned to live!"
"Again, being that this was the third in the series, I read this not too long after the second book.
It really opened my eyes to what people can really be like, in a way. It also spurred my passion for helping other young people who have been in 'the system' and changing the policies surrounding care, as well as making the public more aware of the issues that affect young people going into care. I suppose this book really gave me my political issue that I still support at least eight years on. (plus however many more years after this date)."
"I knew what to expect when I first picked up this book and begun reading it. Not to say that it is a terrible predictable book, it's actually quite the opposite. I remember awhile back I read Dave Pelzer's other books of him as child going through extreme levels of child abuse from his psychotic mother. I was sucked into all those books he wrote. They had so much life in them, that it felt like you were in the shoes of Dave Pelzer as a child. "A man Named Dave" had a different feel and tone then the two other books he wrote about his childhood. In this book he talks about his life as an adult, when he is grown up and on his own in the world. This book had a different tone then the other books he wrote because the other stories had more fear in it since Dave was just a child and was completely helpless. In this one, Dave had more power now then he did before and was no longer afraid to be in the presence of his mother. This is a great story along with the other two books he wrote. It is a must-read!!"
"This book was very tedious to wade through, and as Pelzer developed his series, and became more confident in his writing, he became more wordy and as such this book was far and away the worst of a poor series. I think it's a little rich of him to claim the book is about forgiveness: he clearly hasn't forgiven his mother at all for the abuse she handed out when he was a child, nor has he forgiven the foster care system that didn't give him the attention he needed.
Yes, there's one thing to be said for needing to have your story told. I think he milked his opportunity to keep writing, and should have stopped at the first book, or at least culled this one a little."
