![]() ![]() This book was quite similar to Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock( click here for my review) by Matthew Quick as we had a character who was planning to commit suicide and while both books have a different approach to the topic, but both characters were funny. ![]() Living in the world that we live in, suicide is a taboo subject for obvious reasons so reading books about suicide helps me to think about reasons why. Obviously, books about suicide aren’t for everyone but I do like to read about suicide myself as I find the topic interesting to read about. I really enjoyed reading this book because it may sound weird but I do like to read books about suicide. But what happens when Butter reaches his suicide deadline? Yet as their dark encouragement grows, it begins to feel a lot like popularity. Instead, his classmates become morbid cheerleaders for his deadly plan. When he makes this announcement online, he expects pity, insults, or possibly sheer indifference. Desperate, he pledges to eat himself to death live on the Internet – and everyone will watch. Worse than being ridiculed for his size at high school, he is simply ignored. So starts Butter, the story of a lonely 423-pound boy everyone calls ‘Butter’. If you can stomach it, you’re invited to watch … as I eat myself to death. Why shouldn’t I? I can’t take another year in this fat suit, but I can end this year with a bang. ![]() Tune in December 31st, when I will stream a live webcast of my last meal. You think I eat a lot now? That’s nothing. Buy the Book: Waterstones, Amazon, The Book Depository ![]()
