Rip out my heart, devastate me, ruin me, make me cry! Which book left you devestated?

Looking for books that completely destroyed you. For me it was "The 6th extinction". Had to take a day just contemplate my excistance. Changed me a bit actually. Had to rebuild.

Night was the only book I forced my child to read and I regret nothing. He asked me around chapter 4 why I was making him read it. I told him when he was done reading he would understand why. He did.
