has a book ever made you cry?

Answer 1

i didnt cry ,but the story touched my heart a lot,it was called the citadel.

Answer 2

You've had a lot of answers! But I felt I had to answer your question. I am 56 and have been reading almost constantly since I was 5! Only 2 books have made me cry. Jane Eyre was one. The other was The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. That was because one of my children is autistic, and the things that happened to the boy in the story were SO familiar. At points I just had to put the book down and stop. At points I cried. The book is by Mark Haddon.

Answer 3

I was so happy to see Hairy Spaghetti's plug for My Sister's Keeper. I was totally shocked by my emotional response to this book. I've teared up before but this was something else.

This wasn't the best book I've ever read but I was reading it while getting a pedicure and I burst into uncontrollable tears right there in the chair. Even after I was done with the book, thinking back on certain scenes brought me right back to that sorry state. Never before have I experienced such a thing!

It was just so powerful I can't even describe it. Maybe it's because I have a twin, not sure.

Highly recommended.

Answer 4

The Pianist, by Wladyslaw Szpilman, made me cry, although I think it was when I wasn't reading it. That book started a lot of stuff for me, it was like my turning point, although it gave me nightmares.
I think The Chosen, by Chaim Potok also made me cry at the end. Falling Leaves, by Adeline Yen Mah did, too. And, although it's not fun to admit, the teen book The King of Attolia made me cry when I read it not too long ago because I love the author's writing and I was so sad the trilogy was over.

Dang. It may seem I cry a lot, but that's because the author had a way to hook my emotions, and that is a beautiful art.

Answer 5

Erm, this is not very manly, but yes. "The Fionavar Tapestry" did, so did the Thomas Covenant books (Guy Gavriel Kay and Stephen Donaldson respectively). Also "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera was the most recent to do it - couldn't read for days after that one!
Regards, Steve.
PS usually I am very masculine, honest. Don't get me started on Lassie films though!

Answer 6

Only a factual book did once. C-Six by Dr. Nigel Roberts. It's the story of his 10 years as Chief Medical Officer on the QE2. The saddest chapter was when a yound mother died before reaching shore. A Brilliant read!

Answer 7

Yes, most notably when I was about 9 years old. I was reading Where the Red Fern Grows and I got to the part where the dog was hurt and the mom was trying to save her. I was crying too hard to continue reading, but was too absorbed to stop so I took the book and my little bawling self to my mom and had her read it to me until the dog either died or got better. (I really don't remember which ended up happening, but I cried for days. This is saying something because I didn't cry during Old Yeller or any other books/movies that you're 'supposed' to.)

Answer 8

I have to say the one book that made me physically cry was The Five People you Meet in Heaven. A wonderful book that was clearly very touching to me the movie was also very good.

Answer 9

Yes, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and The Mandarins by Simone de Beauvoir

Charlotte's Web
Where the Red Fern Grows
Old Yeller
The Dogs of Bedlam Farm

Answer 11
