A Child Called It - Describe/Relate to Characters

My favorite character in this book is of course Dave. Before he reached the age of four, he was treated like a any child should be treated by his mother, as in loving and caring for her child. At the age of four, this all turned into a horrible nightmare that Dave always thought would never go away. He was no longer his name, he was "It", as his mother had called him. Until being freed at the age of twelve, he held out strong and survived the most severe punishments ever, and he always said to himself that "I am king". He always kept a good mindset, even through all of the ups and downs and the unfairness that her mom showed toward him and not his other brothers. He dreamed of being rescued and set free, so with that being said, he is the most inspirational character ever.
