A Child Called 'It': One Child's Courage to Survive
WMRod avatar reviewed on + 171 more book reviews


A chilling book, difficult to believe that any "mother" could be so vicious and disgusting to any child, much less her own. But the book is so well-written it's nearly impossible to put down. It would easily get 5 stars or more if the subject matter not so very gruesome. You cannot help but pull for the boy and silently cheer him on. It's absolutely amazing he survived through such viciousness and brutality. This book should be mandatory reading for any bleeding heart liberal optimist who thinks there is no evil in the world. There's PLENTY of evil, as this book well demonstrates. Terrific book. Hard to put down, impossible to forget.
