Summary:Brian does nothing wrong but is tortured like always but this time the mother did something different because she saw it on the news.She locked him in the bathroom with a bucket filled with ammoia and bleach combonation.At first he doesnt know what is going on but
then his lungs start to feel as if it is on fire.This torture goes on for about 10 days.When this torture gets old and doesnt satisfy his mom anymore then she made a new kind of torture for him this time he has to lay in the bathtub full of "iceberg cold" water and when he gets out he cant use a towel to dry so he just puts his clothes on and sits in the shade in the backyard.
Rating:8
Explanation:This book has a good plot and what makes it better is that it is the true story of the author Dave Pelzer.It is so sad how the mother treats him like he is nothing while her other children are getting treated like kings.It is also sad that the dad is doing nothing for him but watch .
