I just finished A Man Named Dave.
The.
Most.
Emotionally.
Satisfying end to a trilogy.
IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF
FOREVER!!!
It was truly amazing. 6 Stars. Period.
In this book you can feel Mr. Pelzers pain, and have something of an idea of what he went through, not only the physical pain inflicted upon him, but the mental, and emotional pain.
He felt like he was literally nobody, nobody at all. He believed at one point that he deserved all that he went through. Finally he realizes he was lied to by his own mother. Yet, despite having his very identity ripped from his very being, he was still able to forgive. He understood what it was to be dehumanized, and because of this, he wouldn't call his former wife his ex, simply because he viewed that as a way to take the person away from her.
This is a truly amazing conclusion to A Child Called It and The Lost Boy, I beg you to drop down to your local library or bookstore and buy all three. They're truly inspiring, and you cannot, despite your best efforts, put them down.
When you finish, give them to somebody else, pass them around, they are truly magnificent (although I warn the sensitive that these books will have you crying. Hard.)
