A Brother's Journey: Surviving a Childhood of Abuse Audiobook

" I used to own the whole collection and let a friend barrow them and never got them back. I will probably buy them again. "

" This is another part to the story "A Child Called It" told by David Pelzer's brother Richard. It was a very sad story and I can't fathom how a parent got away with this abuse on her children. I thought the story was upsetting, but nowhere near how upset I felt after reading "A Child Called It. "

" Another view from Davids brother Richard on what went on in that abusive home with their mother/monster. A captivating story on childhood abuse that went on for years with more than one child involved. Sad but reminds people that reading such a story makes it real and instils in one to help stop this sort of parental abuse on their children whom they are supposed to protect. A very good read. Contination saga of this poor family. "

" After reading "A child called it", I dove right into this one. It emotionally drained me. I had to turn to something fun and not as mental, so I picked up "An abundance of Katherines" and have been reading just for light enjoyment since. "

" It seemed to me like he only wrote this book because he did not want to be outdone by his brother. There was not as much raw emotion in this book as in A Child Called It. "

" I sad story of what some parents put their kids thru. "

" Such a very sad book, but a gook I think is very helpful for people that have been through a lot of struggles in their lives, and those that have not, to allow them to try and see through another's perspective. "

" I really liked this book. It was very intresting. It was awful how he got beaten because his mother was an alcoholic. It shows the tales of a boy named Richard growing up in an abusive household, it is a tragedy. People who can handle such hard truths will really connect with this book. "

" Just as harrowing as his brother's account. "

" books like these make me want to hurt someone. I can't believe a mother would do these horrific things to her own flesh and blood. No child deserves a life like that "

" poorly written and excruciatingly slow. "

" Horrible !!!!!! "

" an interesting bio from the brother of David Pelzer ( A Boy Called It) "

" This was a truly amazing book that deals with child abuse in families and the effects it has. "

" I liked this book, but I think Dave is a much better writer than his brother Richard. "

" After reading Dave's story, I wondered How could Richard have done that to his own brother? This book and the sequel explain, however I felt it wasn't as well written as Dave's stories. "

" I did not like his brothers books (David Pelzer - a Child Called it, a Lost Boy, a Man Named Dave) and I wanted to see if his brother, in retelling David's story and on top of that telling his own, would do a better job. He did not. I still do not think these are worth while reads. next. "

" Completely atrocious what he went through. Thought it was written semi-poorly though. "

" If you have read A Child Called It, then you know what horrific hardships Dave had to go through with his mother. A Brother's Journey is about Dave's brother and what Richard saw Dave go through. When Dave finally left the house of torture, the hell went onto Richard and he became "IT". "

" all in all...good book, but really sad. I gave it four stars because I was a little disappointed in the ending. I was left with a lot of questions. "

" Its stomach churning to read about the 2nd son of the monster mother that we were first introduced to in the Child Called It... The question that kept popping up in my mind is "why didn't anyone do anything?!!?!" "

" It seemed to me like he only wrote this book because he did not want to be outdone by his brother. There was not as much raw emotion in this book as in A Child Called It. "

" its sad how if one brother leaves the rest have to pay because of the mom being an alchoholic "

" Not worth the read just read David Pelzers 3 books, this is basicly the same story from a slightly different view point. "

" This story is told by David Pelzer's (Author of the Child Called It) brother, his perspective and more details of what happened in their family. A true and horrific story about child abuse. This book contained a lot of emotion and you can relate to the author. "

" Not as good... It was good. I guess not as gripping as 'a child called it.' It was neat as a sort of further story of the family. Like his brother's books, they end suddenly and leave most of your questions unanswered, but since it's a story of real life, I guess that's how life is sometimes. "

" Completely atrocious what he went through. Thought it was written semi-poorly though. "

" This was a really good book; however I felt like he was trying to make profit from his brothers book. "
