So I am one of those reads who gets wayyyyyy to attached to the character and if someone die, I will cry. I can not even read Nicholas Sparks anymore because he always kills the one character I happen to love. I still havens forgiven him for Singer. Or when Richelle Mead turn Demetri and then killed Rose (well not really but still) And most Sarah Dessen books make me cry.

I also hate terrible ending -coughDivergencecough- I am pretty sure I actually throw Blood Promise at a wall. I also threw the last three books of the Gallagher Girls books too. I hate Cliff hangers!

So what books made you cry? Have you thrown any books at a wall? And what Books had terrible endings?

(love your username)

Hmm haven't found a book to make me cry ... I have read some books that made me sad but not enough to shed a tear.

Hmm books I threw at a wall... well that's easy.

The entire "Lords of Deliverance" series by Larissa Ione. I only managed to read book 1 but omg... TERRIBLE. At first it started off decent... until they female lead came in... as soon as she met the male lead I wanted to burn the book after like the 4th chapter. Never before have I skimmed a chapter or got very annoyed with a character (I can dislike but I can get over it... in this case nope.) Just all in all the characters were terrible too much overuse of sex that lasted 3-5+ pages ... there was no redemption for the characters. Even the other side/main characters just were not very good. I skimmed the second book and it was just as bad.

Won't bother reading anything else she'll write or has written. Such disappointment because I had gone into the series with high hopes but yeah crash and burn.

And lastly books with such terrible/bad endings? Well most of the books I did read and liked ended alright (or they went on to book 2 with no issues) but this one book by Dean Koontz? "The Darkest Evening of the Year"

I actually really enjoyed the book, had me hooked and wanting more right up till the last 3 chapters.... kinda seemed very rushed. By the time the last chapter ended I was very unhappy because it just made NO sense to me what so ever. I re-read it like 3 times thinking I must have missed something. Nope just a very poor ending that raised more questions than anything.

Whew... so sorry about that.

when I finished The Time Traveler's Wife, I felt like I had been through some sort of major emotional event in my real life. It was that draining. I haven't seen the movie, but from what I've heard it doesn't even touch on how overwhelming the book is. I would highly recommend it, if you haven't read it, although prepare to feel empty and exhausted when you're finished with it XD

The one that got me the worst though, in recent years, was The Elegance of the Hedgehog. Holy wow, I just can't even with the ending of that. I read it through in one night, and I remember so clearly how I was at the end. I had downloaded it on my Kindle, and I was lying flat on my back holding the Kindle above me. I was sobbing so hard, and so uncontrollably, that my hair was soaked from my tears. When I finally recovered enough to sit up, all the tears that had pooled around my eyes ran down my face, and that got me started crying again. It was an incredible book, but God, that ending. I was actually pissed at the person who recommended the book to me, for not warning me, because her review had been so glowing and she had been so excited about it when she told me I should read it, haha.

As for ones I wanted to throw at the wall, definitely Gone Girl. When I got to that one part, I screamed out loud. I was so angry I got on FB and ranted about it, and all of my friends who had read it were like 'oooh yeah I know exactly where you are!' lmao

OH and The Goldfinch - that's a really really good one too. There's a major twist near the end that WOW you just don't see coming. The whole book is a pretty intense read, it took me a long time to get through - it's fairly dense. But that twist man, that sent me reeling and I actually went back and read over previous parts, and questioned my own thoughts about the story, and stuff. Very well done.

In terms of books that make me cry...

The Man In The Iron Mask by Alexandre Dumas gets me EVERY TIME (in the same three specific places).

So it's no surprise that the last of the fantasy/sci-fi tribute to the Three Musketeers books, written by Steven Brust, Sethra Lavode, had me sobbing at the end.

Usually if the characters are crying/mourning it makes me join in.

Catherine Asaro's Saga of the Skolian Empire series has a character with a major secret who can only communicate with certain members of his family in rare, precious, snatched moments and those scenes never fail to make me cry, either. The ones in The Ruby Dice and Carnelians in particular got me.
