Death Note: L, Change the World by M.
5.0
Wow. Wow wow wow.
This book is second only to the B.B. Murder Cases for me, and even then, I have a feeling that I may eventually flip that. Dude, it was really good.
I enjoyed everything about this book. The complexity of the case. The new Wammy's. The *humor.* The tie-ins of Light, Soichiro/Sachiko/Sayu, Matsuda, Near...
The thing I think I loved the most though? We got to see a different side of L. The thing that makes this book is the time limit. L knows he only has 23 days to solve the case, and therefore is willing to do more because of it. I love how it really showed the bond between L and Maki. I love how it showed he's a genuinely kind person, in his talks with K near (heh--NEAR) the end of the book. I love the entire last four days an unexplainable amount. I love how quotable the characters are--and like good quotes too. Not like "I will be taking your cake" (an excellent quote, without a doubt), but like "if there is even one person who continues to have hope in justice, I will continue to believe in justice under the law and protect it. For as long as I am L." I also really, really loved the style the book was written. Something about it was just very personable and, gah, lovely.
I'll say this again, I don't normally cry at books. But I was crying like a baby at the end of this one. I just...wow.
M has written a story that will touch the hearts of Death Note fans for years to come, or even people that are not yet Death Note fans. And yes, I realize this was based off the movie, but...I think it's safe to call it its own spin-off.
