Fabulous novel, but with a slightly disappointing ending that doesn't have the impact that you'd expect it to from what's preceded it. Full review to follow.
Matthew Quick is a brilliant author. I stumbled onto The Silver Linings Playbook 6 years ago (haven’t seen the film, but was very excited when I heard they were making it), which is before the time when mental health became such a huge part of my life. Even then, I remember being struck by how he ca...
"But really--why do some people post the correct ways to commit suicide on the Internet? Do they want weird, sad people like me to go away permanently? Do they think it's a good idea for some people to off themselves?" I didn't expect to love this book, or even like it. The main reason it caught ...
Matthew Quick has earned a place on my favorite authors list. This...I don't even know where to start...nothing I could say would do justice to this book. All I can say is I won't forget Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock any time soon, which is the ideal reading experience as far as I'm concerned. It h...
Where to start with this review? I enjoyed this book, which can be a hard thing to say regarding it's subject of teen depression and the contemplations of suicide that it contains. But I think this novel is important.It's Leonard Peacock's eighteenth birthday and he's had enough of it all. He's had ...
I have to admit, my first thought when I finished this book was, "hmmm, that was interesting." In fact, I wasn't really sure what I was going to rate it, much less how I was going to review it. The one thing that I knew was that it was different from any other book I have ever read. In the two weeks...
I almost didn't finish this book. I absolutely did not like Leonard in the beginning. I knew that he was being a typical self centered teen, but I kept thinking to myself "Get over yourself". As the book progressed and I learned more of Leonard's story, I started to like him and really feel bad ...
Either this book failed to do what it set out to do, or I went in with the wrong expectations. Whatever the cause, Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock did not have any appreciable impact on me.You see, I read this book hoping to gain some insight into the mind of a school shooter. Someone like Kevin Khatcha...
Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock has got to be one of the funniest books I’ve read so far this year. It really feels inappropriate to be so amused by this book – after all, it is the story of a teenager planning the untimely demise (murder) of his former best friend Asher Beal. We’re not really sure what...
