lexiepiper Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Yes, you do it's about 60/70 pages from the end I think Quote
DanC_84 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I actually cannot really remember a book or movie in which I fully cried. Not to say I don't feel emotional whilst reading/watching them, I guess I just don't cry much. Quote
book Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) I don't cry reading books because, well, I'm a book. But I did get very sad with Of Mice And Men Pet Sematery at the end of them both... Edited March 4, 2009 by Janet Commercial links removed Quote
Nessicle Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows - when certain characters 'leave' (hopes not to spoil anything lol), A Boy Called It, New Moon Quote
mister.g Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Only one i can think of that made me leak was The Green Mile. Very sad at the end. Quote
Wilde Lily Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Only one i can think of that made me leak was The Green Mile. Very sad at the end. Yes, it was. The whole story was gut-wrenching. Quote
busy91 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I can think of a few. Yes, the Green Mile was one. Some of the Harry Potter Books The Five People You Meet in Heaven All of the books by Richard Paul Evans Quote
BookBee8 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I expected The Book Thief to make me cry but it didn't. I think it was because I felt a bit distant from the characters and situation. I have cried over quite a few others though. Quote
Peacefield Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Hardest I've ever bawled while reading a book was Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry. Such sadness and it really got to me! Recently I cried near the end of The Historian, which kind of surprised me. Even while I was talking to my friend about it at work after I finished the book I started to get teary-eyed! Quote
chrysalis_stage Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I cried at the start of "The Book Of Lost Things" by John Connolly. Me too, I was reading it at my bf's and I didn't want him to see and take the wee so it didn't last long, a few tears fell tis all. Also shed a tear while reading Boudica - manda scott (book 1) when I read about the sexual abuse a young boy was recieving. I normally try and steer clear of those abuse journal books. I'm too emotional as it is I don't need to be a bubbling mess and If I read too much I would be more of an angry person lol Quote
Mac Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Hiya. I'm an emotionally retarded bloke, so I don't often cry. I, too, got a bit teary during The Book Thief, at the end of The Historian (incidentally, one of my favourite books ever) but most of all, the time I sobbed quite unashamedly was when Lee Scoresby dies in The Subtle Knife and his Daemon, Hester, gets closer and closer to him. Ooh, I get a bit choked even thinking about it, even now...excuse me... Quote
Lucybird Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 oh that bit of the subtle knife is sad! I have only actually cried when reading the last Harry Potter book, and even then it was more teared up, and I was close in Half-Blood Prince when Dumbledore died, even though I expected it . I don't cry that easily generally though, unless drunk, I make a very emotional drunk! Quote
Mac Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Right, well, I'm back now, after doing manly things, like...err...fixed my car...erm...built a wall and...err...hunted for food? Quote

I don't cry that easily generally though, unless drunk, I make a very emotional drunk! It's quite true, however, that I get very emotionally involved with certain books. I'm pretty sure that others have made me weep a little, but I'm being distracted by The Now Show on listen again. Quote
Lucybird Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Yes I think that's why the Harry Potter books made me cry, they were (and still are somewhat) a big part of my life, and I grew up with Harry Quote
angieb58 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) Have you seen the movie based on this novel? Stars Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins. It's a very gentle but passionate portrayal of the human, in this case,english caution in revealing true feelings. "He who hesitates, is lost", springs to mind.

angieb58 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) Sometimes you start a book not realising it's going to make you cry. This was my reaction to DAVID COPPERFIELD. DICKENS. Edited March 7, 2009 by Kell Added capitals Quote
BookJumper Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I've been known to cry at sad endings, because they depress me, and happy endings, because happiness makes me go all mushy. I am a hugely sensitive person and - given believeable characters who make me root for them - I will well up for their successes and failures. In particular, there's one book I've read a fantastillion times, which has never failed to make me cry once: "The P Quote
petit_canard25 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 PS I love you by Cecelia Ahern made me cry. I thought it was a great novel. Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Just reread Marley and Me and cried loads again Quote
sixtyfoothigh Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Through a Glass Darkly by Jostein Gaarder. ... a lot of books have made me cry, but this one the most. x Quote
Rosalind Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I also cried when reading PS I love you (ruined the film for me completely cried all the way through the film). An other book I blubbered with is Atonement. Especially the last pages Quote
