Book Review By Amber
A Man Named Dave by David Pelzer

This book is an autobiography. It is a conclusion to "A Child Called It" and "The Lost Boy". This book focuses mostly on David's adult life; his dreams of becoming a naval firefighter, then a naval mid-aircraft refueler, and finally, a speaker and writer. He is in the navy for the better part of this book. He gets married, and has a child, but life difficulties cause them to divorce. David, finally, gets to meet the woman he loves, adores his son, Stephen, and gets to live in the serene place he'd always dreamed about. This book ends with happiness, fulfillment, and joy. I strongly suggest reading the first two books, "A Child Called It" and "The Lost Boy" before reading this book. As a trilogy, these books go from extreme depression and hopelessness, to dreams come true, love, and happiness.
