The Real Deal

Brief Summary

Now we begin to see how things get worse. David's mom is not strict anymore, shes simply insane. Every once in a while, when she gets mad she would just find an excuse to beat David by saying he is a "bad boy". But not only that, she doesnt even treat him as if he was a human anymore. She would lock him up for hours on the basement and let him starve. 

She is making him eat poop from his little brother, she is insane!!! She also tried tu burn him alive. David is not more than an animal to her mother's eyes, and he is simply suffering.





Interesting Quotes

"'You've made my life a living hell' she sneered. "Now it's time I showed you what hell is like". p41

David's mother finally says what the reason to all this abuse is. Maybe David is the cause she began drinking (because she is obviously an alcoholic). Then when she began drinking she became miserable and she had no one else to blame apart from David, who became her target.

"There, spread out on the counter top, was another full diaper. The smell turned my stomach. 'Now, you're eating it!' she said."

This is simply mad, she is feeding his brother poop! I mean this can no longer be called a family anymore, this arent normal problems, this is irrational. And all David is trying to do is survive, to beat his mother.


Final Thoughts...

This book has left me without words. It is really stunning to see what David has gone through. We finally understand a little bit why all this is happening, but there is still a lot left on this book and I am sure it will just keep getting more interesting.
