Here is what people are saying about the The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family
 "Great follow up" | 2009-07-19 |

| I had just as many questions I think as David had as to why. I enjoyed getting a better idea of things, and seeing where life led David. Well written, and a great look at the foster care system. |

 "A wonderful continuation of "A Child Called It"" | 2009-05-20 |

| This is the second installment in the memoirs by Dave Pelzer. After being rescued by social services, Dave faces the dynamics of foster care. Wanting desperately to be loved and accepted contrasted with an understandably guarded heart. It is interesting to hear the varied families that entered his life, the struggles to finally be free to be a "normal" child while trying to adjust to impending manhood. Beyond the sacrifices and work of workers and foster parents, the people who stepped in and mentored him are an inspiration. Like all "middles" to a trilogy this book only opened more questions than it answered. |

This is the second book in the trio. I read Dave Pelzer's "A Child Called "IT" first, then his brother, Richard's book, then this book. There seems to be some differing details from Richard and Dave's books. For example when Dave writes about meeting Russell at school and nearly runs into his mother (but doesn't). Richard writes that it was he who met Dave at school (not Russell) and there was confrontation between the mother and Dave. Also Richard writes about dave showing up at their fathers funeral and having a confrontation with the mother at the end. Dave mentions nothing about his father's death or funeral. His father was his hero and meant so much to him, I would think it would have been part of his memories and story in this book. I don't know who is right and the differences in stories and people have me not believing the story.
This book is about Dave's struggles in different foster homes and how at the time society viewed foster children and parents as "trash". Dave writes about his fair share of trouble with the law and pranks he pulls with his friends. Again he spends pages repeating on something so minute and at other times spends only a few sentences describing weeks of time. |

| This book is an unbelievable, inspiring story of a young boy searching for the love of a family. After living with a severely abusive mother he barely survives with the hope that someday someone will love him for him. This story will leave you in awe of the journey he's taken to get where he is now. This book teaches you that anything is truly possible. I recommend this book if you want a story that can touch your heart. |

| It's hard not to have all kinds of emotions while reading this book. It was a good read and hard to put down. It also shows the trouble that some kids face while in foster care. Overall, a must read! |
