Leonard Peacock reminds me of Holden Caulfield. The kind of kid who questions things that people his age don't think about, who ponders and ponders, which make people so angry with him for challenging their beliefs. That he went through something awful when he was younger and it hindered his growth, and he is trying so hard to pin down what happened and why did it happen to him, and how can people live so blindly?
I've always loved Quick's writings. It's never a black and white with him, he makes grey areas feel more comfortable and real. And I loved that he referenced Hamlet a lot, with so many interesting information peppered in the chapters. And I wish I could tell Leonard that he's so brave for dealing with all that. I want him to have better birthdays.
