Books that made you cry

[BookBee8]

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!

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.

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.

[Bronwen]

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!

'Spiritual Healing' by Alan Young.

read this about 8 or 9 years ago and blubed like a baby.

The Time Traveler's Wife, A Child Called "It" & My Sister's Keeper were all very sad for me

[lexiepiper]

I've just finished Marley & Me, very sad

[anisia]

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".

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 .

I cry loads in films, but never in the books oddly

[missmellow]

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.

[chesilbeach]

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.

[SaraPepparkaka]

If you have read my list of read books you know that The Book Thief (Marcus Zusak) made me cry.

[thereader]

Endal and me had me in tears at the end, I had a big lump in my throat.

[Andaira]

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.

[Kreader]

I'm always dry eyed. I do get the feelings of joy, sorrow etc but I do know its a story I'm reading even if it is a true one.

[Ben]

The Book Thief. Such an emotional end.

[crotalus_p]

Kirsty Maccoll,the One and Only by Karen O'brien,One of the best biographies I have ever read.I was on the train when I cried.

[pipread]

The Book Thief. Such an emotional end.

 

 

I cried when I read the Book Thief too.

[Ben]

I know loads that did, it was so sad.

[crotalus_p]

Whats Irish got to do with anything???? I'm Irish and I cry.

Yes but your not an irish bloke:roll:

 

 

We have our own special way of dealing with things that make non Irish blokes cry

 

[Nollaig]

Lmao!!! I know Irish guys who have cried occasionally. Allegedly.

[BrainFreeze]

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.
