BookBee8 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm torn...I like both. I do enjoy happy endings when all your favourite characters end up with everything they wanted and everything. But...I also feel slightly cheated at some happy endings. Like the last Harry Potter book, I read the ending and immediately thought 'What?! That's ****!'. But then sad endings also depress me! Like the ending of Noughts and Crosses, I cried and cried for far too long. I think there needs to be a balance between the two..somehow!

Nollaig Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Tuesdays With Morrie. Its one of those books, the reading of which should be mandatory for living. Okay, so I'm biased, coz its a true story and the movie made it even more heart breaking to deal with the ending. But still. Its a wonderful book about life.

jewell Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I tend to cry a lot coz i'm a big softy so i'm afraid i can't name all the books that made me cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronwen Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Jeffy the Burglar's cat (I think) I read it when I was about 11, 12 or maybe even younger, and I got to the end late at night and it was so beautiful and so much ... somehow bigger than expected, it made me burst into tears. Proper crying, the way kids do. I think I woke up my parents, because it was so sad and so wonderful at the same time. I'm not sure if I've ever had the same reaction to a book again. I cried when I wrote a scene in Nightswallow though (that's my new book out soon ) I thought that was quite weird, to cry at something you're actually writing!

anisia Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I cry more often at movies than at books but one book that made me cry was A Child Called "It". If I remember right I also cried when I read Cecelia Ahern's "If You Could See Me Now". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rach.at.the.disco Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I think there has only been a few; My Sister's Keeper, P.S. I Love You and My Best Friend's Girl had me in tears. The Notebook had me close but I managed to control myself . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missmellow Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Books that have made me cry ... a LOT: Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix " " " " Half Blood Prince } - J.K. Rowling " " " " Deathly Hallows Flowers in the Attic - V.C Andrews At First Sight A Walk to Remember } - Nicholas Sparks Dear John New Moon - Stephanie Meyer That's all I can remember right now, but I have yet to read loads more tearjerkers. I personally love to be so touched by books, especially romances. I'm so dang sensitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 La Belle Saison by Patricia Atkinson made me cry at then end. And I finished reading Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner yesterday through a veil of tears, as there was a completely unexpected plot twist which caught me off guard, and brought rather a lot of emotion out of me.

Andaira Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Right now, the book that I remember making me cry like a little girl was Nights in Rodanthe, by Nicholas Sparks. It was not a great thing that at the time I was waiting for a job interview in the lobby of a hospital, surrounded by people , but ah well.

BrainFreeze Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Watership Down never fails to. Also Schindlers List, Anne Frank, The Damage Done and the ending of Skin Privilege. There were parts of Perfect Match that also had me going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
