Oh my god so sad. The movie makes me cry too. D:
Come Clean by Terri Paddock; the events are truly shocking and the end made me cry like a bitch. ;A;

Because I've read it recently, I feel like it's fair to mention The Old Man and the Sea. He spends so long trying to catch the fish, and when he finally overwhelms it after days, it's taken away from him by sharks. He comes back with nothing. Hemingway's language contributed a lot to the feeling, the simplicity just makes it awful.
The end of any series that I get really involved in is generally also depressing, albeit in a melancholy way. The last book of the Dark Tower series, the ending of His Dark Materials, etc.

Goodness, that book was depressing... T_T
Isn't her newest book House Rules? I haven't read the end but it's interesting how the kid is better at forensics than those investigators. It is sad though.
Yeah, that's her newest one. It has a different theme than most of her books do though.

Oh goddamn, you had to bring these up.
The Book Thief did an excellent job of making us feel for Liesel, even if she turned out alright herself. This is probably my favorite World War Two novel, even though I've read Night and Number the Stars too. (though, both of those were very good as well.)
And Bridge to Terabithia may have made me cry as a kid, I don't remember. The ending came out of nowhere though, and it was so appropriate.

The books that I remember reading that made me really sad were The Diary of Anne Frank, Bridge to Terabithia, and the last Harry Potter book because lots of my favorite characters died and it was kind of dreary throughout (still loved it though).
I felt pretty sad when I read the Giver when I found out what "released" meant in the book 
And in some harry potter books some of my fav characters died as well

Private Peaceful is a pretty sad book. ;_; Not depressing of sorts just.... really sad. D: It's more of a kids' book but it's still really good.
Oh yeah and Robin Hood was pretty sad when.... but it was still a really good book
but it was still a really good book
Yeah in the sixth book I got all depressed and stuff at the end.
The notebook made me cry .___.
Has anyone ever read On My Honor? That really got to me =/
I found the book "The Giver" rather sad as a child
oh oh oh I've heard of it, but I always forgot about it.
same with the Giver, I've heard about it.
