Yes I read these books, The story is tragic, It's hard to believe someone can survive that, You should read Street Kid by Judy Westwater, It is a great book I've just finished it

I read 'a child called it' and I only just managed to finish it, havent read any of his other ones because I found it so upsetting, but I agree hes a very strong man and an inspiration xx

I haven't read either of them, but I know a lot of people who have. Everybody I know who's read it loves it. It has some really bad/gross things in it though and it's really sad is what I've heard about it.

I read the first two and think he had a tragic life, as a writer however he has little if not no talent. Secondly, making money out of his tragedy cheapens the fate he suffered. Thirdly he never manages to explain his feelings or even attempts to assume his mothers motivations leaving his book feeling like a diary rather than a serious piece of literature. Try reading "The Wasp Factory" if you want to read a talented writer describe abuse.

I read them some time ago. They are sad, but all to common these days.

My ex wife used to read them avidly, and so I read them out of curiosity. They are very harrowing, I must admit.
