Reading The Glass Castle made me sad. It's a biography about a haphazard childhood in poverty that didn't have to be so difficult. The parents were irresponsible and one was an alcoholic. It was sad to see the deprivation the children went through.

H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds. Everything turns out in the end, but it's a convenient end. The whole of the story depicts a man dehumanized, and all of humanity shown as nothing more than cattle.
