![]() ![]() He is tired of this life and decides to give four people a goodbye gift before he gives himself his own birthday present: killing his former best friend with his grandfather’s gun and afterwards end his own life. Leonard Peacock turned 18 today, but nobody seems to realize it. ![]() It really gives you an insight in how seemingly normal kids end up with a gun in their hands and how a disaster possibly can be prevented by an act of kindness like that of Herr Silverman. This novel has some heavy themes that might not be for everyone, but I think it’s definitely worth it. The prose is more than good and I especially loved the letters from the future that are to help Leonard convince himself to not kill himself. This might make you feel a bit uncomfortable, but Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock is brilliantly written and shows how various actions drove Leonard to form this disturbing plan in his head. ![]() Matthew Quick created with Leonard Peacock a very disturbed character that will make you want to keep on reading to find out if he really ends up doing what he has been planning: kill his former best friend and then himself with his grandfather’s gun. “DO ANYTHING! SOMETHING! Because you start a revolution one decision at a time, with every breath you take.”įorgive Me, Leonard Peacock was recommended to me various times over the past two months, so I thought it was about time to read it.
