Feature & Follow Friday (#2)

Feature & Follow Friday is a weekly blog hop hosted by Alison Can Read & Parajunkee's View. This week's question is...

Q: Tell us about the most emotional scene you've ever read in a book - and how did you react?

The only book I can think of that really made me properly cry is Patrick Ness' The Knife of Never Letting Go. I don't want to give away too much but if you've read it you'll know what I mean when I say "Manchee". I bawled reading the scene, and then I put down the book and bawled some more. I think I probably gave myself a headache. A lot of other books have made me very teary (The Fault in Our Stars by John Green springs to mind) but I don't remember ever having quite so strong a reaction before. I just love dogs..!

What was your most emotional scene? Drop a comment if you're passing through,and if you're a new follower make sure to leave a link so I can follow back! :)

    Thanks for commenting on my FF and following! I'm reading The Knife of Never Letting Go at the moment for school, but I don't think I've got to the scene you mentioned yet...I dread to think what happens. :( It's a great book though!

      Thank you!! :) I think it would be impossible to read TFIOS and remain dry-eyed!

    Hopping through. I should read Patrick Ness's books. So many people rave about them.

      They're such brilliant books, but that part is absolutely heart-breaking! I love Manchee so much... and the horse in the Ask and the Answer too. Ness' animal characters are so memorable.

      Thanks for following back! :)

    I had to stop reading The Knife of Never Letting Go because it was depressing the hell out of me. I was almost to the end, but it was causing me horrible dreams and usually I like my dystopian with some kind of hope. I know lots of people who love the series, but I just can't stomach it... which is weird because I love horror stories.

    Thanks for the follow, and I'm following you now too!

    I've seen a few people say TFIOS was really emotional- I'll definitely have to pick up a copy!
