Smint Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Oooh, my first post! The only book that's evermade me cry was A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry It follows the lives of a number of people in Bombay, and their ups and downs. Just when you think they're getting on their feet, there's another knockback, but you're willing them to overcome it One of my all time favourite books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 The time Traveller's wife had me in tears - I remember going to pick up my son from school, stopping at the traffic lights, thinking about the story with tears streaming down my face. The kite runner had me glassy eyed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 It doesn't take much these days to make me blub!! 'Tuesday's with Morrie' and 'Five people you meet in heaven' were both amazing and I cried because I loved them so. 'Hannah's Gift' because it was such a heartbreaking mother's story. I loved being moved to that extent by a book, although I love films, i think it's so much more powerfull to be moved by someones words and your own imagination.

Jo-Bridge Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hangover Square by Patrick Hamilton- I read this for the first time years ago and had the verve on repeat- now "Lucky Man" reminds me of the book and makes me a bit sad! More recently- The Tenderness Of Wolves by Stef Penney made me cry at the end. Unspoken love -ahhhhh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceinwenn Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 There are a couple books which have made me cry, for different reasons. A place to call home, by Deborah Smith made me cry the first time I read it because it is a great story & made me a bit homesick. Chicken Soup for the Canadian Soul - there are various stories in there that always make me cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
million2b Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) The only book that made me teared would be when Dumbledore died in the Harry Potter's 6th Series. Pretty amazing how I got entangled into that series when I wrongly assumed it to be too childish initially. Edited September 1, 2008 by Nici Added spoilers. You could see who died by just reading the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Andrea~ Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 You can spoiler it yourself using spoiler tag - highlight the word and click S, though not sure if you have enough posts to be able to edit your posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopiste Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Only one book made my cry - Wrongful Deaths by William Wharton. When I read about parents emotions, their mood when they had to call all family members to tell them about the accident I just couldn't hold my tears. I sympathized them so much.

KW Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 The last few moments of Fighting Reuben Wolfe by Markus Zusak...my-oh-my...human choices, love, loyalty...the stuff Kleenex boxes are made for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Have you read The Book Thief, KW? Another tear-jerker. I'll definitely be on the look-out for Zusak's other works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KW Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Kylie, I STARTED the Book Thief, but didn't finish. Though I've heard it's great. Try GETTING THE GIRL after FRW, if you can find them on amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookwormmum Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 The Knitting Circle - Ann Hood was the last one to start me off. Its about a knitting group who use knitting to counteract their grief. The Time Traveller Wife was the worst. It took me ages to get through it as I'd just turned into a sobbing wreck. My OH kept coming home to find me in bits. Its one of my favourites, but it just tore me apart reading it. I just don't know how the film will do it justice.

Mia Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 The Lovely Bones and The Green Mile both made me cry. The Green Mile really upset me too. Even now, I haven't been able to re-read it or watch the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
