I am not really sure how I feel about this book. It did hold my attention and I did enjoy how the author put us into a young man's brain but I am still shaking my head trying to figure out the ending. I feel cheated.
I have book review déjà vu. I feel like I just read (and kind of hated) this book about a week ago. There was a point in Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock (the bottom of page 69, actually) where I threw the book down and thought, Not this AGAIN! NO NO NO NO! I just don’t understand the appeal of this “dee...
If you recognise the name on the cover of this one, it's because Matthew Quick is the author of The Silver Linings Playbook, and if you've only seen the film, it's worth noting it managed its topic far less well than its source material. Where the film sometimes got uncomfortably close to laughing a...
This story is about Leonard Peacock saying goodbye to the 4 people he finds important before he kills his former best friend and himself. It is written from Leonard's point of view, a character with depression who is suicidal.This book could be triggering. I listened to this book and I think it wa...
This review was originally posted on Bookish Things & MoreThoughts on Forgive Me, Leonard PeacockI'm not even rating this book because I don't know how in the world I would rate it. I have very mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it brings voice to suicide and many other issues. But on the othe...
It was a well written story, of course, but it just gives the wrong message. If you feel homicidal, suicidal, or both, get help! Don't be like the main character and just eat pancakes and think everything's going to be hunky-dory.
I read this book in one day. My internet was off though, but still I read it in one day because it was great! Leonard reminded me of myself. This is more of a rant, but anyways... When people hurt to the point of breaking... don't know how to describe it. ... It's like that part of you that was fun,...
Beautiful story that portrays how important humans are to each other, how the smallest of actions matters. Leonard is an incredible boy with a heartbreaking, honest, sincere mind. Loved it.
This is such a difficult book to review because I'm genuinely unsure about how I'm supposed to feel about it. Like, what exactly was Matthew Quick's intention when he created Leonard? On the one hand he seems to be a character for us to side with, feel sorry for, understand better through his memo...
