I have just reviewd 'Hell Comes On The wind'. I downloaded it off InternetArchive for free, after reading about in in this room. Here is what I wrote in my review. And Yes I did cry, a great deal. I'm obviously a softy. I wish I was Married to this man. He knows a woman's psyche inside out. That is only part of my enthusiasm for this amazing historical novel. I loved the response from the sleeping Philip, when his dead wife comes to him in a dream and promises to see that he and his brother will come to no harm. The scene was so tender, oozing with love and full of passion. There is no sex for Philip in the book; but sex is alluded to in a later chapter. The poor girl killed at the inn in Normandy, where the two brothers, Alan and Philip were staying made me weep inconsolably. I could have murdered Mr. Bradbury for allowing the girl to die such a death. Yet, as the story moved on, I realized it was not only imaginative, but an integral part of moving the plot forward to the next stage. It is only a book; I had to keep telling myself, yet I still cry over some chapters. My husband is reading the printed copy, and he is totally unmovable. He will not mow the lawn or do anything else until he has finished a chapter! Finding work with the Normans was a work of art, and I saw why the author need the girl to die and the outcome spoke for its self. It amazes me how this genius does it. He makes each transition so believable and smooth. The story flows so well, it is hard, when one reads allowed a paragraph to stumble over sentences, even if you tried. King Harold and his brothers have wonderful and very likable personalities, and you sense that they love each other very much. Though you have to get to know each individual before making any judgment; and Mr. Bradbury works the brothers so well; the difference between a modern, computer generated Shrek animation and an old fashioned puppeteer. The spies (two nuns and an assassin) in the bell-tower scene were so thrilling, and I though the author handled it extremely well. I was on the edge of my seat throughout. Do you remember those old children’s films that had weekly episodes? Each paragraph of every chapter was just like that. Will our hero survive perish? Tada! "Come back next week for the next exciting episode," called the voice from the screen. I adored Harold. He demonstrated such love for his country, and his fellow Saxons, It was that love that killed him - 'death before dishonor'. Harold died most valiantly, with full honors, as did the men who fought along side him. The villains were wonderfully portrayed. Duke William was as other have stated, well written, yet there were other scoundrels, too. That nasty, vermin us Sergeant Snap and his friend, Waddle, and couple of snidy reprobates if ever there were any! Oh, and the sneaking Eumer, the assassin. I almost forgot him. He was something else, and he was a buddy of Snap, too. Birds of a feather flock together, as they say. There are two chapters, near the end of the book, that were so memorable for me. You saw Alan and Philip in a village, saving the women from being rapped by Snap... I'm not going to spoil the plot, but I must not leave this review without mention of the watery tunnel scene, in which...No, it will... READ THIS AMAZING STORY FOR YOURSELF. I'll give $500 bucks to any publisher that picks this one up. Have a great read. Maria (a housewife and now a great fan)

I'm a big Harry Potter fan, too, but Toni Morrison did me in when she wrote "The Bluest Eye." Incredible book and I cried the first time I read it, and I have reread it a few times, and I always cry. It's almost like a horror show and the poor girl didn't ask for anything as she never had anything in her entire life. I have tears just from writing this.

Answer 4

What??? Sirus Black dies?? Aaaww......
Let's hope he makes a surprise come back - or something cool!

No I have not cried when reading a book where a character dies... but then maybe I have? Not actually cry but feeling sad - yes.

"Buddha" was the last book (okay graphic novel) I read and some great characters got killed off. Got annoyed with that as well a little bit sad but great read!

Answer 5

I have cried at books so many times - really felt the characters pain or loss - cried with pure happiness - books tend to drag me right in - I wish sometimes that they would never ever end. I know its only a chick lit book - but Cecilia Aherne in PS I love you portrays so completely what it must be like to lose someone you love, I shook whilst I read the first couple of chapters of that book - that was even before I knew the characters. An epic book written by Lesley Pearse - Never Look Back - covers the ENTIRE life of one woman its an absolute epic - that book broke my heart whilst I read it, it was truly amazing. I find books tend to take me right in and whilst I am reading them I live them!! I love books!!!!!

Answer 6

I have recently read a book called ''The take'' It was amazeing. I couldnt put the book down. It is based on real life events of gansters in london and I was in tears a couple of times. Especially when a 3 year old young boy got killed by his 11 year old cousin. I highy recomend this book to eveyone. Although there is quite a bit of gangster violence in it so dont read it if u dont like that sort of thing lol

Answer 7

Yeah, I've read several that have brought me to tears. Sometimes some one is such a gifted writer that you can't help but feel for the characters, or you've been following a story for so long that you've grown attached to it. Which is why I'm dreading the release of Deathly Hallows in July.

Answer 8

I am not much of a book freak but one book that I did read and which drove me to tears is "Sons & Lovers" by DH Lawrence. Paints a very poignant picture of the life and times of a miner's family - a family that suffers limitlessly under the evil reign of the autocratic father.

Answer 9

I know exactly how you feel! I read this fanfic about Winry from Full Metal Alchemist, and I cried. I cried really hard.

It's okay to feel this way, as long as you don't let it permeate your every thought...

I once threatened to kill an author for doing something to a character... though I really couldn't. Stories, any of them, can bring a person to tears.

Answer 10

Simple: Read The Lovely Bones by Alice Seabold. If that doesn't bring a tear to your eyes then nothing will. It's an amazing book and I hope they don't make a film of it as it will definately spoil it. For all of you that haven't heard of it, it's about a young girl who gets killed and then watches her family from heaven try to cope with the aftermath. She watches her sister and best friend grow up and eventually sees her killer........ it's beautifully written and very touching.
