Is killing for the sake of survival right or is it wrong? Is killing to defend what you believe in, right or wrong?
Once again, [a:Darren Shan|5816|Darren Shan|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1192947698p2/5816.jpg] has taken me on an emotional rollercoaster as fierce as the raging waters of the waterfall Darren faces in Vampire Mountain with a message as profound as the Vampire's anthem, "Even in death, may you be triumpant."
