Books that made you cry like a baby.
I just read the book: The Fault in our Stars. I was crying like a baby in the subway. Of course, people looked at like me like I was crazy.
What books made you cry?
Re: Books that made you cry like a baby.
The Lovely Bones made me cry.
I can't remember the title at all, but there was a book I read as a kid about a girl whose sister dies of leukemia. I still vividly remember both crying like anything when the sister dies and also a scene where the narrator punches her sister and makes her nose bleed and then just keeps thinking of that in guilt through the rest of the book. The whole thing made me stop fighting with my brother for a couple of weeks. I wish I remembered the title.
Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
A Mango-Shaped Space
I was bawling as I was reading the final chapter of Cheaper by the Dozen during story-time last Saturday.
And there was one I read during lunch at the office, but I cannot remember what book it was. I had to leave the kitchen and then I had to go hide in the ladies room because I could not stop crying as I was finishing the book. I'll have to think about it.
It sounds very much like Lois Lowry's A Summer to Die.
Oh! Just thought of more. TWO books by Edwidge Danticat made me cry: Breath, Eyes, Memory AND Brother, I'm Dying.
Thank you! I read a ton of Lois Lowry books, so it's very probable this is it.
Where the Red Fern Grows
Marley & Me (also made me laugh hysterically)
I think a few others, as well, but those are the ones I can remember right now. I guess dogs dying really get to me ;-)
This also made me cry. But I'm a big crybaby when it comes to books and movies...and life. Haha.
I am reading the Time Traveler's Wife now and I am not really liking it. I am only on chapter two but it seems strange about the guy meeting up with the girl when she is like 6.
I also LOVE Bridge to Tabithia.
