Books With the Saddest/Most Gut-Wrenching Themes (The Open AI Chatbot) - Page 2

When asked to give a list if the saddest/mist gut-wrenching books, the AI Chatbot answered: "Creating a definitive list of the 150 saddest or gut-wrenching books of all time is quite subjective, as different people have different emotional responses to literature. However, I can provide you with a selection of books that are known for evoking strong emotions and are often considered sad or gut-wrenching by many readers. Keep in mind that this list is by no means exhaustive and is in no particular order. Remember, the emotional impact of a book can vary greatly depending on the reader's personal experiences and sensibilities. These books are known for evoking strong feelings, but what might be incredibly sad for one person could have a different effect on another." - chat.openai.com Note: regret the duplication 'The Diary of Anne Frank/A Young Girl' - noticed too late
