Death Note: L, Change the World by M.

4.0

4.5/5: ‘Death Note: L, Change the World’ is a Young Adult, Mystery Light Novel by M; L, the ace detective's name has been placed in a Death Note. With twenty-three days to live; he must bring a Terrorist Group to justice, or they will unleash a deadly virus, eradicating humanity. In an alternate continuity to the Manga series ‘Death Note’ by Tsugumi Ohba; the unidentified author ‘M’, novelised the original Movie, poignantly detailing the events in a lighter, and fast-paced style. The given name of the author is 'M', which suggests that Mello wrote it. It is in his font and it is his pseudonym. But this can't be the end of the story. Mello might blaze from the Death Note pages, larger than life and twice as bold, but he's still fundamentally a fictitious character. He patently had some help in the penmanship in the structure and word choice. Unfortunately, the light novel is either a ‘hit or miss’ with the audience; fortunately, I adore the literary format, along with the whole collection of story-formats. Keeping this review short maintains the mystery; I highly recommend reading the original Manga before delving into the Movie adaptations, Anime and essentially the light novels – Classic!
