While Shan Sa and John Greens book made me cry A LOT, this one only got a couple of tears at most. Maybe because I was prepared. We read it for an English class and I had kind of been warned that it would be super sad xD I thought it was a little sad, but not incredibly heartbreaking. Probably because of the way it was written. I like them to go in on the horror of the character when something horrible happens to them or the sadness of the character when something sad happens to them, that way I feel their pain. But we didn't actually get the characters pain, because he didn't know he was in any danger. That's probably why others thought it was so sad, because he didn't know, and I can understand that, but I just don't get as sad when the narrator doesn't feel sad over the situation. It was such a calm death I just couldn't be moved by it.
