Fantastic, gripping story that will suck you in and make you want to read deep into the night. It’s intense and often humorous. It loses one star for being misogynistic; there are some moments when Light (the main character) disregards female characters, and one scene where he contemplates holding a woman down by force so she can’t reveal his secret.

Re reading the series for the first time since I was 14. Favorite characters are definitely still L and Ryuk. Love Ryuk’s fashion style. An icon. Honestly don’t care abt anyone else yet lol. But I’m enjoying it for the nostalgia.

A work of genius!
Volume 1 of Death Note was something quite strange, but at the same time, something very interesting. The way I see this book, it deals with morals and what different people believe to be right. This is, of course, an intriguing topic as most people's morals differ.
The main character, Light, is a teenage boy who happens to find a mysterious notebook on the ground one day. He soon discovers that this notebook has unbelievable abilities and that he can use these abilities to rid the world of evil. He sets out with good intentions, but do his intentions remain pure...?
There is so much thought that goes into an intricate plot-line such as in Death Note and the authors really did a smashing job, in my opinion.
