Dear Teddy

review 1: What a tragic life JD had to endure! I cried, yelled, became calm then would cry and yell again and again. I wanted to climb in the book and take home away and hug him and tell him how much he is loved. Thankful that JD let us into his life by telling us his story through his voice when he was a child. I think it made me really get into the book on a deeper level than if I would have read it normally. It is graphic, but it is necessary for the reader to understand the depth of the abuse that was placed upon this child at the hands of his parents and many other abusing adults. What an incredible book! Thank you JD for allowing me a glimpse into your life. Much love and many many hugs are sent to you!
review 2: How many Teddy Bears are there around the world that... more hold these same secrets of the child that owns them? I cringe at the horror of that thought! Because in my heart, I know that there are way too many. Dear Teddy is written in the voice of a 5 year old child instead of the voice of an adult. The author is brilliant in doing this because it makes the reader actually see and hear this small, wonderful little boy. The reader actually gets to feel the physical and emotional pain of this child and therefore, takes on the role of Teddy. As I listened to this child spill his worst nightmares to me, I felt my claws begin to grow and my teeth begin to sharpen. In my mind, this reader literally became Mama Bear, a nickname that has become a part of me. This shows the brilliance and extreme talent of this author, J.D. Stockholm. While other reviewers have stated that they were brought to sobs and tears, I was not. I became angry and violent towards all adults who have these tendancies and mindsets of the people who were in this child's life. I became sick to "my tummy" from all of the lies that were forced into this sweet little child's mind making him believe every one. In my mind, I screamed at the world "WHERE THE HELL IS THIS CHILD'S GUARDIAN ANGEL?" This displays the awesome talent and yes, I will say it again, brilliance of this author. I can not and will not say that I loved this story. I can however, say that it is a book that every adult should and must read. If we as human beings don't know the hurt and pain that is going on around us then how can we stop it? J.D. Stockholm, you are a very talented author Sir, and I stand and applaud you. I will have to read your next book but only because I need to know whether or not this little boy survives and gets his happy ending. less
