Books That Make You Cry (1 Viewer)

[yoddle]

People cry to some weird books...

I cried at the end of Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli.
I think i may have also shed a tear when Dobby died.

Rarely shed book tears though. Oh i also cried when I read the Wiki page on the Port Arthur Massacre.

Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure. But after your first Hardy novel you grow jaded towards everything else he writes.

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and Obsession by Julia Lawrence.

I was extremely sad after reading Death of a Salesman. It wasnt just about the death of willy, but something so true about what Miller describes.

The Kite Runner... very touching

Saddest book

Yeah I'd agree with that

Didn't really get upset til the very end when the wife is having her little speech by the grave

But yeah it wasn't really about the fact that Willy was dead 'cause tbh I didn't like him much

Harry Potter; Order of the Phoenix

The Giver by Lois Lowry - I won't tell you what bit made me sad, cause It'll spoil the book if anyone else reads it, but yeah...

To Kill a Mockingbird for mine was an emotional experience which helped me to realise the darker actions of humans over the years. I will never become tired of that book.

Boy in the stripped PJ's

That was a punch in the gut!

When I was younger, about 9/10/11...'Swashbuckler' by James Maloney...I was 10. Couldn't sleep at all the night I read it.
Also, 'Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes' and the stories 'Shake' and 'Forever' by Paul Jennings.
I don't really cry when reading books now. I more just get really really sad and I can't stop thinking about them.
'The Kite Runner' was devastating but really beautiful. Same with 'The Power of One', but in a different way...

 

[HumanDichotomy]

Oh...and how could I forget 'Looking for Alibrandi' and 'On the Jellicoe Road' by Melina Marchetta?
