Books that make u Cry!

First they killed my father by Loung Ung. It was terrifying to read but kept me awake to finish the book.

Genocide by the khmer rouge army in Cambodia, A kids narrative of it all..

Have decided pain becomes bearable when u think of some people surviving different levels of pain...

a friend who visited Cambodia mentioned that some of the taxi drivers there were kids and had seen it all. To think that it was not really that long ago...

I think you should try "The girl next door" by Jack Ketchum. Or if u want a shorter version watch the movie. Either way its a heartbreaking story based on real events.

Oh boy!The title sounds chilling! But I'm guessing if it was un-put downable it must be great! I read "The Kite Runner" that way! Like my mum used to say-Book paithiyam!
