Title: Not Ringing True
Product review: Reading Dave Pelzer's story of his troubled youth as contained in "The Lost Boy," I constantly found myself troubled by the author's point of view. It is essentially the point of view of an adult attempting to mimic the point of view of a teenager. One gets the impression that the author laid down in print stories he had refined through repeated telling to audiences on the lecture circuit. I also found troubling the detailed recollection of conversations many years after the fact. Again, the recollections (to the extent not wholly manufactured) are heavily tinged with the attitude of an adult, not that of an adolescent.
