What is the saddest book you have ever read?

Well, it didn't make me cry, but one sad book is "Of Mice and Men." I won't give away the ending either.

It's a good short book and it's also a movie for those without the attention span ha ha.

I'm generally not a fan of sad stories, though, so this is the only one that comes to mind right now.

I remember "Where the Red Fern Grows." We read it in school too and I think even the teacher got a little misty eyed. It's a great coming of age story though, but I never want to read it again!

There is a graphic novel called We3 that made be cry. It's about creating perfect robotic soldiers out of stray (or in some cases, stolen) animals. It was just so heart breaking even if the end is pretty happy.

Watership Down is another great book that made me cry. I never thought that a book about rebbits could be so deep and interesting. There are sad parts, but if you haven't read it yet, you really should!

Yeah, "Where the Red Fern Grows" is a very sad tale. I remember reading that story as a youngster, and then it was the first movie my family ever bought, so I watched it a lot, too. And then of course, you have another very sad book/movie about a boy and his dog..."Old Yeller".

When I was in grade school I remember having to read a book about Titanic. It was fiction...but you know that in a way it was non-fiction because that stuff actually did happen. I remember that that made me cry. I also read a book called Smart Women by Judy Blume. That book didn't make me cry, but it was really sad. I have a book that I haven't read yet but it sounds really sad. It is called With You and Without You. So we'll see if that one makes me cry.

Bridge to Terabithia. Hands down.

Frederik Phol's Jem. It had one of those endings that was written to be sound happy, but when y0ou read between the lines, it was quite sad.

One of the saddest book that i've read was Goodbye Mr. Chips by which he is a professor at the university and tears really pour out in my eyes at the ending of the story.

The tragic book that really upset me has to be 'The Love Story' by Erich Segal. The way it ended the words were so powerful that it hurt real bad. I just couldn't stop the tears, it is the only favourite book of mine that I've never read again. It was too emotionally draining for a repeat experience, but I recommend the book, for it also has a bit of magic.

I haven't really read many sad books at all. Where the Red Fern Grows does stick out in my mind too. My 3rd grade teacher started reading it and the girl knew what was gonna happen in the end so she started bawling right away when we started. She had to be removed from class and read another book while we read Where the Red Fern Grows. Personally since it was only quiet time after recess and the book was chosen by the teacher she should've just picked a new book all together if it meant removing a kid from the class every day to do something else. It was kind of like singling her out. It was good though. If I remember the story correctly, I think Bridge to Terabithia was sad, but I could have it mixed with another book . I read it years ago.

Probably A Child Called "It". It was very sad; throught the entire book even. And there's a graphic novel 'Blankets' it was sad in its on way too:)
