Vladimir Tod - book 5 - Twelfth Grade Kills

I cannot put into words what this book means to me. But I will try. Sitting on the couch is me. In my hands is Twelfth Grade Kills. And the whole entire day I do not stop reading. I go on a journey through the last chapter of the life of Vladimir Tod. And I do not stop until I am done.

This series is about a young half vampire who is born not created. He is the product of a human and a vampire. And when he discovers an ancient prophecy that says he will rule the vampires and enslave the human race he struggles too come to terms with what he might and could be. 

Thinking back, I realize that I missed so much. Even though I read the book, and I took in and understood the words, the sentences and all of the paged paragraphs I did not know what I had. And what I had was a real life journey.

Vlad struggles through out the whole book and through out the whole series with who and what he is. At first he tried to deny it. He was not the Pravus. He was not evil. And he would definitely not do any of the things that the prophecy mentioned. He was just one kid. But when he started too accept it his life changed forever. Sometimes it was terrible. But other times he was as happy as one could get.

In order for your life to twist and turn as it should you need to accept things good or bad. If you don't then you will have a very boring life. You need to accept who and what you are. No matter what the price is. Because if you can't be honest with your self...who can you be honest with? Plus, who cares what other people think? It's your life and your going to live it how ever you want. Let people think what they want to think. It's your life.

But there is a problem. Accepting who you are is something that you need to do. But living how you want to live and acting how you want to act is a whole other thing. When you really think about it, we are bound to and by society. Sure, it keeps the world and the nation together. But what about individual people. What if I don't like my teacher and I feel like slapping her because she is getting annoying? What if I'm tired of school and tired  of learning so I decide not to go?

Everything you do and everything you say is just another round of cause and effect. I slap my teacher; I get in to monumental trouble. I don't get an education; I go nowhere in life. All good things have a reward and all bad things have a punishment.

Vlad accepts that he is the Pravus; he saves the entire town of Bathory. He refuses to kill Joss when he has the chance; Joss nearly kills Vlad. There will always be the good and the bad. But accepting it is the way to making the most out of everything.
