It&...I'm sorry Zom-B didn't click with you. It's always difficult writing about racism. What I was trying to show (and it becomes more apparent from book 2) was that there is hope for everyone in this world, that everyone has the power to change, that we are defined by the choices we make. B comes from a racist family, and it's natural for children to mimic their parents. But we come to a point in our lives when we have to make our own choices, and sometimes that means taking a stand against the people we love most. B does this near the end of book 1, and the series from that point is about B's growth as a person and quest for redemption. It's a story about an individual's journey from a very dark moral place into the light -- but unfortunately that means we have to start with B in the darkness, which I know is an unpleasant, uncomfortable starting point.Darren Shanhttp://www.darrenshan.comnoreply@blogger.com
