My Mum's diary of her trip to the US in 1997.

Kevin Brooks - Lucas

cliffsdoll they are amazing books, to come through what dave has come through and be able to tell your story is truly amazing if you liked those books try reading sickend and the little prisoner . The little prisoner made me cry .
Biko by Donald Woods
hi loopy, i've actually read both those already, they were sad too, but very compulsive reading
Lovely Bones
Question Author
have you read lucky by the same author miss-me its is a biog about her rape?
I agree, Biko made me cry too.

Also i remember reading the Snow Spider trilogy in school, that had me in tears.

Sams letters to Jennifer is another real tear jerker. although i can't remember the author.

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.


And Charlotte's Web, every time without exception!

Lots of books, but especially Black Beauty when Ginger dies, and then when there's finally a happy ending.
"Skallagrigg" by William Horwwod. There's 2 spots that get me every time, when people realise that Esther is a person an not just a "thing" to be pitied.

here's a classic tear jerker: when Beth dies in Little Women. first time i read it i was about ten and got so upset my mum thought something was seriously wrong. i read it again when i was about 20 and got upset all over again.


i read lovely bones on a plane and got some conserned looks from other passengers by crying thru the whole three hour flight.

The Call of the Wild by Jack London. I cried when I read it to myself and then cried again when I read the last chapter out to a class of 14 year olds. Not cool! The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffernegger and Dear Nobody by Berlie Doherty both made me cry at different depictions of pregnancy but I was pregnant each time so maybe that was why.
The Time Travelers Wife made me cry aswell, as did The Railway Children by E Nesbit and A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.
Call of the wild made me cry when I was young, I also got emotional at Goodbye mr chips, but the two that always get me are angelas ashes and the Diary of Anne Frank, the latter is so moving,I couldn't put it down.
Yes I agree - the bit in the Tale of Two Cities where Lucy's baby dies made me cry
Three books have made me cry - "The Unlikely Ones" by Mary Brown and "Sheer Abandon" by Penny Vincenzi. The other is Flowers for Algenon but I cant remember who wrote it.

Tess of the D'urbavilles and The Mayor of Casterbridge


Both Thomas Hardy


Yes-and Lovely Bones and Lucky

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
