30 Day Book Challenge: Day 29

Last year I found this book challenge (since then I have seen many variations of it, but I like this one best!), and have been intrigued about how I would answer the questions posed. Feel free to comment with your own answer or post the challenge to your own blog.

I assume you know the following is chock full of spoilers...

Saddest character death OR best/most satisfying character death (or both!)

Saddest character death
I have never been more surprised than when Emma Morley dies in One Day. Frankly, I was a little surprised at myself for crying at the end of the book when I read Love Story; I mean I already knew what was going to happen and, yet, there I was bawling and really getting into it. Frankly, Love Story is the only book that I've purposely read knowing someone I fall in love with is going to die. I truly avoid those kinds of books like the plague. I'll leave that kind of escapism to those who like their romances tragic.

Best/most satisfying character death
There aren't any books where I'm glad that characters die...that's kind of morbid really. I mean here's an example...Voldemort finally dies in this epic battle with Harry. All the same old rot that we see in all books of this genre...you know good vs. evil and light vs. dark and the hero must go it alone et cetera comes in to play. And, all I can think about at the end, after his death, is about all the characters that had to die to make his death possible and about how it's not really triumphant at all, is it? I mean not really...if we start from Harry's parents and end with the death of the Weasley twin (a death I am still pissed off about, actually, so much so that I don't know if I can ever watch the movies), Voldemort's death does not in any way feel satisfying at all; actually it feels very weak in comparison to all the other feelings I was having up to that point.
