asche 's review for:
I love Death Note and I love detective novels, but I think this is one translation that just doesn't carry over well for an English novel. You have mysteries that can only be solved by knowing kanji and references to retro shoujo manga in a setting of LA...it would make sense in the original Tokyo setting of Death Note, but was just too hard to suspend my belief here. Most of the solutions to the mysteries felt very forced and contrived. I've read this twice, but still cannot give it a high rating in good honesty. I do love having Naomi as the main character, but seriously what was L doing!? He contributed nothing and served no purpose here.
