Schindler's List, for reasons that should be apparent to anyone who's read the story. Despite being one my favorite media of all time, both the film and the book take so much emotional investment I can only manage one or the other every few months... and yes, we do be bawlin' out here.

Most recently, Dustwalker by Tiffany Roberts. Bittersweet ending. I really enjoyed the character's journey. I feel sad thinking about it now.

I have never cried reading any book even Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows didn't make me cry. But, watching the same story as a movie made me cry. Till date I seriously don't understand the logic behind this.

Title: "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini

"The Kite Runner" is a deeply moving and emotionally charged novel that left an indelible mark on my heart. Khaled Hosseini's storytelling prowess is evident as he weaves a tale of friendship, betrayal, and redemption set against the backdrop of Afghanistan's tumultuous history.

The story follows Amir, a young boy from a privileged background, and his close friend Hassan, the son of his father's servant. The narrative explores the complexities of their relationship, the consequences of betrayal, and the enduring power of guilt and redemption.

Hosseini's prose is rich and evocative, transporting readers to the vibrant streets of Kabul and the harsh landscapes of a country ravaged by war. The characters are vividly drawn, and their struggles resonate on a deeply human level. The emotional intensity builds steadily throughout the novel, leading to a climax that left me emotionally shaken.

What makes "The Kite Runner" so powerful is its exploration of the human capacity for both cruelty and compassion. The novel doesn't shy away from portraying the harsh realities of life, yet it also offers a glimmer of hope and the possibility of redemption.

The poignant themes of forgiveness and the impact of choices linger long after the final pages. "The Kite Runner" is a literary masterpiece that elicits tears not just for the characters' pain but also for the universal themes of love, guilt, and the quest for redemption that resonate with readers on a profound level. Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster that will leave you reflecting on the power of friendship and the enduring echoes of the past.
