The Town of Odyssey

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.

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.

Haystack

I also did cry when I first read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
also when I read Left Behind - The Kids.

when i was little "the Flames Across the Susquehanna" always made me cry, that was a SAD book!!!

Golly Gee Whilikers! everyone who wants to cry for something good you should read Avalon High!

RIGHT NOW!!!

I've cried over some rather random stuff. Didn't cry when Aslan died. Didn't cry when Ryan died (I could totally see it coming with the hints they kept dropping). But I cried when Charlie died in "Rose in Bloom."

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.

I own it but sadly, I've never actually listened to it.

U HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

The book that really made me cry was Inkspell by Cornielia Funke.

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.

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.

Thats exactly what I did too!
THat is like the only time I ever cried though, I think.

I never got as far... but Matthew dying makes me cry. I hate that part! (Although I remember it more from the movie )

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.

Gee thanks. No, I brought them all back home from my parents on my last visit.

I meant that you spend lots of time on the ToO...it wasn't an insult. Probably.

I prefer reading books on paper instead of online, so I'm glad that you have them! In a few years you can even read some of them to your daughter!
