I didn't realize it, but I already have it on my iPod, so I'm good to go. My thought is that the "Youth" book will be filled with a lot of teenage angst. Not unusual for those years, but added with his background - yikes! <BR/><BR/><B>Carrie K</B> ~ Be prepared that the first one is devastating and shocking.<BR/><BR/><B>Maw Books</B> ~ See my comments above. :) Dave shares from his heart and it is very palpable. The books (his life) do inspire.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-9247689745581482472008-10-14T18:39:00.000-04:002008-10-14T18:39:00.000-04:00I never gave much thought to Dave Pelzer but recen...I never gave much thought to Dave Pelzer but recently met someone who said his books were her all time favorites.

I plan to listen to that one, too, if I can get my hands on it. The narrator was fabulous. However, I have read that it isn't necessarily as "good" as the rest, but that's okay - I'm still game.<BR/><BR/><B>Danielle</B> ~ The first one is the most powerful and unbelievable, but he perseveres. :)Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-69383440581593513622008-10-14T08:46:00.000-04:002008-10-14T08:46:00.000-04:00I had almost all the books in this series and gave...I had almost all the books in this series and gave them away. I just couldn't handle the topic. I am in a place now where I am able to - I think I will go by the library and see if they have the first one.
