/lit/ what is the sadist dead in a book you have ever read? I'm talking about on the level of Saving Private Ryan's end.
Who do you think died the most tragically?

I don't care if it's not "real" literature, the second death in Clannad After Story. Everyone expected the first, but the second one was fuckin brutal.

Pretty much any death that occured in "The Book Thief". It's the only book to ever make me cry tears of saddness.
