The first time I read it... I don't think I cried all that much. But I was sort of when I convinced myself that Ian could not be with Wanda.. I thought it was incredibly not fair to such a nice person like him.

But the second time (even though I knew what was to happen, lol) I cried when Wanerer made the decsion to give herself up for Mel.

I was totally tearing up as Wanda walked into the room with Doc waiting for her and she was getting on the table and everything. She was so brave and selfless at that moment.

Like cheergeek, the first time I read it I didn't really cry. Except, the part right before Wanda was removed from Melanie. I started quietly sobbing when Doc said to Wanda: "you are the noblest, purest creature I have ever met. The universe will be a darker place without you."

My second time reading it though I cried at a lot of different places, especially the Jamie/Wanda/Mel scenes.

I cryed the most... when... Ian cryed in WANDA'S lap... Because... Umm... I FELT for Ian, the fact that thier love like Edward and Bella is FORBIDEN but even more forbiden because she is two peole and Jared loves the body and Mel so that means she is mostly Jared's but i found it so intense his love for her that he would make himself so vonerable.. (OMG i'm talking like he is a real persone that made these choices himself *SIGH* i wish he was real... and i was wanda..*SIGH* that would be cool!) and diferent... just the way he feels for her makes me bawl ... IT'S JUST SO.... FORBIDEN! :'(

aND I CRYED WHEN SHE LOST MEL AND JARED WAS LIKE TOTAL MAKE-OUT INTENSE SCENE RIGHT IN FRONT OF IAN I CRYED AND THEN I LAUGHED LONGER THEN I CRYED! LOL :P

I had to put the book down for a few minutes because I was crying so hard that entire last page of her time in Mel's body. (the scene with Doc and his making her unconscious)

wow, well, I cried pretty much the whole last 10 chapters or so.. when I cried hardest? No one else mentioned it, but it was when Jared "experimented" on Wanda. I'm a huge Jared fan, so this really made me cry. Not only was I outraged, I actually was so hurt, that he would do something like that. After that scene, I put down the book and cried for several hours. I thought it was just so unfair that Jared didn't love Wanda, but Melenie, even though Wanda was such a great and wonderful person. Argh. Still makes me angry. ^^,

I cried a lot throughout the book, but I had to put the book down because I was sobbing too hard when Ian found out she was leaving and ran with her; and when he said , You. Are. Not. Leaving. Me. OMG!!! I bawled!!! And then when he cried on her lap...Sigh...
Vor mehr als einem Jahr wandererian said…
i cried when Wanda saw the dead souls splattered everywhere and she started screaming and later wouldn't talk to anyone. And then when Doc was about to take her out of Mel's body and how he was crying for Wanderer, that got me started too lol.
Books that make u feel such hardcore emotions r the best kind.

I cried for Melanie, which none of you people seem to care about, I cried when i concluded that she would never be able to stroke Jamies cheek, kiss jared, or even move her hand back and forth!
That she watched jamie and jared but couldnt do anything! I cried when Jared kissed Wanda. For two reasons, Wanda was being used and Mel couldnt do it herself. Huff...it was even sadder when i DIDNT know he was using wanda i felt betrayed and heart-broken. :(
I managed to keep myself together when wanda was being taken out of mels body but- i totally lost it when she repeated lines...sob...it was so sadd.
"I knew that the beginning would start with the end" for some strange reason that had a tight emotional hold on me.

Here are the quotes that made me cry the most:

"you are the noblest, purest creature I have ever met. The universe will be a darker place without you." the last words Doc says to Wanda before she is removed from Mels body.

"You.Are.Not.Leaving.Me" Ian to wanda when he finds out she is going to sacrifice herself.

"Thank you Wanda. My sister. I will never forget you."
"Be happy Mel. Enjoy it all. Appreciate it for me"
"I will"

I cried when Ian found out Wanda's decision to leave. When he said that she is not leaving him and when she said she will always love him if she is a bear, flower, etc. she will always be his *sigh* or however it went.

I cried so many times in this book from the moment wanderer and Mel got to the caves to the first night Ian and wanderer finally got to hook up in the game room. I cried the hardest was when wanderer was headed to Doc's to give her body back to Mel and Jared stopped her and ask her what he could give her. She asked him to give her the lie and Jared kiss her and told her He loved her Wanderer. OMG I am crying right now thinking about it! I am going to have to read the book again tonight now. Thank you Stephenie Myers You are the best novelist! You can truly express love everyone needs.

the worst i cried was when wanda died and it seemed like the last of her, when she kissed jared it was wierd, like a betrayal to ian yet not, and jared was the one to save her, but ian was the one that saved her throughout the book and therefore is the true saviour.

I did not cry very much the first time I read it, but the second time I cried a lot. When walter died, when Jamie was ''sick'', when wanda decided she was leaving and when Ian cried BECAUSE she as leaving.
Vor mehr als einem Jahr annegret said…
all of the above, i cried the whole book, but most when ian realised that she is leaving that is so sad, because he feals terrible but he dosen't even now that she is going to die...

and at the end when jamie says that ian "didn't care what she looked like" and later ian says "i held you in my hand, wanderer. and you were so beautiful."
because that showed, that he loved her even as a silver worm...

“Is it so unbearable to have me love you? Is that it? I can keep my mouth shut, Wanda. You can be with Jared, if that's what you want. Just stay.” Actually it's not that touching in Turkish. They put something like "don't go" instead of "just stay", etc.. But I knew the original quote and I was about to cry while I was reading that part. It's the best part of the entire book.

Melanie's last note: "Not fast enough. Love you. Love Jamie. Don't go home."

After Wanda saw the dead souls: "I sat in the blackness of the big hole in the ground and grieved for lost souls with a human at my side."

Sunny, after being told she had to go to a planet other than earth: "They're all so far away. By the time I got anywhere, Kyle would be...He'd be..."

Wanda to Jared as she goes to see doc: "What happens when it rains, Jared? Where do people sleep?"

When Ian describes holding Wanda's soul body: "I held you in my hand, Wanderer, and you were so beautiful."

Well I am happy to know I was not alone in being so moved by the book. Her characters come to life. I cried through the book especially when Mel's own family turned on her. Here she risked her life for Sharon and they turned on her so viciously and Jared he really takes the cake. he was really a piece of work.
