Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick

Leonard is planning to kill himself, but first must kill a classmate. This book follows Leonard through that day, while giving a little bit of background about what leads him to think he needs to kill the classmate and himself. Leonard is giving gifts to three people before he offs himself, and he tells the reader about his relationship to these three people, so that we understand why they are worthy of the gifts.

This was an ok book. It has footnotes, which, sometimes, are more interesting than the story itself. It's about a kid who doesn't think he's worthy enough for life.
