I tend to immerse myself in the characters when I read or watch films. I know intellectually that it's just a story, but it doesn't feel like that (Um. It's even worse when it's animals...). I find it very disturbing, and sometimes it stays with me for a long while. Sometimes, I even throw the book away, if it seems unnecessary, gratuitous, or manipulative.
