Books that make you cry
What books are tear-jerkers?
The end of The Westing Game (I couldn't get through that without a few tears the first few times I read it).
Close to the end of The End (ASUE). I always cry when Kit dies, and when the realization of who Beatrice is (if you'd already read the Beatrice Letters) hits. It made me cry.
My dad actually cried when he read us the part where Theoden dies in the Return of the King for the first time. It was weird, since he pretty much never cries. I cried later when Frodo left for the Undying Lands.
When I was younger and read the Left Behind kids books, I pretty much cried myself to sleep (I was reading in bed) when Ryan died.
Oh yeah, I cried when Rachelle died in the Circle Trilogy. It was kind of special, not just sad, and I'd forgotten and so I cried during the second time reading it.
I can't think of the others, but I'm sure I'll there have been others.

Most recently, The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan. There are people who are taking woman and controlling them through pain in these collar things. When they took one and killed her guard I cried. (She was screaming for her friend to help her but her friend was already taken.)
Also, the first of the seven sleepers book. When Josh figures out that Curusoe is his dad, but then it's almost to late because his dad dies from his wounds.

The very first time I ever read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe I bawled my eyes out when Aslan died. I also cried at the end of Awake and Dreaming.

Yes, my eyes welled up when I was watching the movie because it was actually being pictured in front of me... but this topic is about books.Tamika W wrote:I bawled m eyes out when Aslan died (the movie tooBirdie Edwards wrote:I've cried over some rather random stuff.

I own it but sadly, I've never actually listened to it.Tamika W wrote:I cried while i listened to Focus On the Family's version too *tear*tear*Birdie Edwards wrote:Yes, my eyes welled up when I was watching the movie because it was actually being pictured in front of me... but this topic is about books.Tamika W wrote:I bawled m eyes out when Aslan died (the movie tooBirdie Edwards wrote:I've cried over some rather random stuff.

I don't think that I cried when I read "Rose in Bloom," but it was so long ago that I don't remember. It was really sad, though. I always liked "Eight Cousins" better.Birdie Edwards wrote:I've cried over some rather random stuff. Didn't cry when Aslan died.

Some of L.M.Montgomery's "Anne of Green Gables" books make me cry. They didn't used to, but last summer I read through all eight of them, and all the Walter foreshadowing had me at least tearing up...and when Joy dies...and some "Rilla of Ingleside" stuff. I used to say that was one of my favourites, but last summer all the WWI stuff hit me harder than it did when I was younger, and it was so incredibly sad, way more than I had remembered. It's still good, but sad.
I never got as far... but Matthew dying makes me cry. I hate that part! (Although I remember it more from the movie )Catspaw wrote:Some of L.M.Montgomery's "Anne of Green Gables" books make me cry.

Yeah, that's really sad too. I don't think that it ever made me cry, though. If you somehow have some free time open up, you should read more! You can even read them online, if you like staring at a screen for hours, which you seem to.Darcie wrote:I never got as far... but Matthew dying makes me cry. I hate that part!
