What’s the saddest book you’ve read recently?

On principal I try and stay away from sad books. I read to make myself feel good an I cry enough IRL that I try and avoid sad books. I did just finish
The Giver by Lois Lowry and it made me feel sad, but not sad (and boy do I need to learn precision of language). It made me feel something that I cannot yet define (I will try and define it when I write my review of it over the weekend). I also recently read
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling and I wasn't sad this time because I knew what was happening but I certainly felt sad the first time I read it. Maybe that will have to qualify for this time around.

The Order of the Phoenix was sad. Deathly Hallows was too! My post is up.
Yeah all of the later HP books are sad but I guess I just don't think about them as necessarily sad any more. They no longer make me cry because I know what happens.
The Giver is such a great book!
