Title: Good Lord! Choke!
Product review: I sympathize with Pelzer for enduring such horrific childhood abuse. However, enduring child abuse doesn't automatically make one a thoughtful or even a competent writer. The Lost Boy too often seems like a baggy E.C. Comics knockoff, with the young Pelzer fleeing in terror from his one-dimensional, monstrous mother. Nobody must have proofread this book; in its dopiest scene, set in the 1970s, the young Dave anachronistically pumps his fist in triumph and says "Yes!"
