Which King book (if any) made you cry? ***SPOILERS***

[calynn79]

are you kidding me? IT, bag of bones, lisey's story, rose madder, pet semetary, insomnia, gosh so many!

Yes Mr. King, I know you can't be accused of animal abuse - it was a made up dog and a made up scene and it never really lived, so it's impossible of accusing your made-up character of kicking it to death, and yet I cried just the same. I guess it doesn't matter if it lived or not - what matter is its fake death made me cry like a 3 year old.

I have cried multiple times over mulitiple books. I literally bawled during Dark Tower 7 while reading parts that many of you have already mentioned. I can't think of all of the different occurances, but I just finished reading IT and I think it contained the saddest thing I have ever read.

When Henry Bowers feeds Mike's dog poisonous meat and while the dog is dying and Henry is sitting there he says something to the dog and the dog looks up at him and wags his tail. It's making me cry just thinking about that. It is horrible. Poor nonexistant doggie.

I just finished reading Dreamcatcher like 5 minutes ago and

On Writing had me bawling........this was just over a month ago, I had just figured out I was addicted to painkillers and was doing my best to quit, On Writing became my bible. After Sai King is hit by the truck and air lifted to another hospital he begins thinking, "I don't want to die, I love my wife, I love my kids, I love to write..." Thats all it took for me to bawl.......The book now sets at the top of my small bookself, it is my holy grail!
Oh and of course Dark Tower 7.....so many sad times...lol..

Not one book has made me cry. But Stephen King's book Bag of Bones came close. I finished the book last night. Two things in the book made me go to the brink. The first one is when Mattie died. My mother died seven years ago, and my reactions were almost like Kyra's. The second thing was when Stephen let on about the "white nana." Where she had luekima. I had recently found out my twin sister has luekemia, and she just went through chemo. So when Noonan tore off the wig, it made me realize that my sister is probably loosing her hair too.

All and all I would have to say that I loved that book though. There were times that I wanted to put it down, but some inner self made me keep reading it. And I am glad that I did.

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon made me cry very badly because of how bad it was...

[daniellemartindale]

i cried at rose madder, but i was unconsolable at the green mile, it broke my heart, and does every time i read it / watch it.

Ok, I'm sure I cried reading many of his other books, because I am a weepy person. But the one that I remember like it was yesterday was The Stand

When Nick dies.

I was in my 11th grade spanish class, while the seniors were taking their finals and I sobbed

[patson]

Almost all of Sai Kings books have made me cry.
Desperation
The Dark Tower Vll
Cujo
The Stand
The Green Mile
The Dead Zone
Carrie
Firestarter

Oh, I could go on and on, and I don't usually cry in front of anyone, but, when I was reading DT Vll my son (who got me started on the series) thought something was seriously wrong. I couldn't tell him because he hasn't finished reading it yet.

To me that is the mark of an master writer...he draws you into the characters soooo much they are a part of your life. I bow to your writing skills, Sai King. Thankee, Big, Big!

"Pet Sematary" I was thinking, "No he's not, no he's not, no he's not," but he did!
