Death Note: L, Change the World by M.
2.0
This was an okay spin off to the Death Note series. Like the BB Murders book, this has some spoilers for Death Note, so it's recommended that you read the main series before these spin offs.
This read a bit like fanfiction, to be honest. What we would call an alternate universe or AU of the canon story. I can't go into details, but to be as vague as I can this does have some different endings to the main Death Note series, in order to make the book work.
It's a strange one. At first, I had absolutely no idea what was going on and it took me about 50 pages or so to really understand the story.
The villains were laughably bad. Their motive was ridiculous: it was like a cartoon villain motive. I didn't much care for what was going on, and didn't care how it ended.
I can honestly say that you don't need to read this or the BB murders book if you have finished Death Note. I would be perfectly happy having not read either of the two books. Both have disappointed me. One day I will re-read Death Note and enjoy it for what it is. But until then, I'll try and forget these spin offs. I don't think that will be too difficult to do.
