People cry to some weird books...

I cried at the end of Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli.
I think i may have also shed a tear when Dobby died.

Rarely shed book tears though. Oh i also cried when I read the Wiki page on the Port Arthur Massacre.

Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure. But after your first Hardy novel you grow jaded towards everything else he writes.

What books always make you all sad and emotional?

Mine are:
- The Outsiders - S.E. Hinton
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix
- When You Wake and Find Me Gone - Maureen McCarthy
- The Power of One - Bryce Courtney

harry potter and the deathly hallows made be bawl forever - snape's story was so sad...

I was extremely sad after reading Death of a Salesman. It wasnt just about the death of willy, but something so true about what Miller describes.

Yeah I'd agree with that

Didn't really get upset til the very end when the wife is having her little speech by the grave

But yeah it wasn't really about the fact that Willy was dead 'cause tbh I didn't like him much

To Kill a Mockingbird for mine was an emotional experience which helped me to realise the darker actions of humans over the years. I will never become tired of that book.

When I was younger, about 9/10/11...'Swashbuckler' by James Maloney...I was 10. Couldn't sleep at all the night I read it.
Also, 'Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes' and the stories 'Shake' and 'Forever' by Paul Jennings.
I don't really cry when reading books now. I more just get really really sad and I can't stop thinking about them.
'The Kite Runner' was devastating but really beautiful. Same with 'The Power of One', but in a different way...
