You know, I was going to say here that she probably had a cold or something, as it seemed unlikely that "Barry Trotter and the Unauthorized Parody" was a tear-jerker, but then I read a review of the book which says that towards the end, "But even most surprising is Barry's soul searching. I'm still stunned at that one: Barry actually gains depths. By the end, Barry has an epiphany that leads him to doing the right thing. Lil' Barry has grown up to be a cynical, jaded, but wiser and more mature adult." So...maybe she really is crying over the book.
