I was reading Cirque Du Freak: Killers Of The Dawn and I loved it!

I was really engrossed that I felt like I was in his shoes(although he, Darren Shan, is a guy, I can't help but enjoy his adventure.). The climax was... What the?! I wept. And mourn over..... Oops. I think I better not say the character's name(for not spoiling the thrill)who perished in the pit of stakes and fire. Anyway, I wept because he is Darren's mentor. He is like a father in his eighteen years of being a half-vampire. Darren can't really cry because his emotions are mixed with anger and sadness. I really felt sorry for him. *sniffs* I cried while he was mentioning his mentor's death and he even dreamed that he made it alive. Boy was I hoping too but the author still wrote that his mentor really is dead.

I can sometimes be emotional when I read a book I really feel and it showed me values. Most especially in goodbyes. This book may be grotesque and macabre but I wept because of the importance of friendship, the book's value, and how hard it may be to lose someone you love.
