Product Description: Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects--and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal?or his life?
Interesting... If you are an L fangirl, like myself...you probably struggled through the rest of the series as much as I did. I admit that the plot moves a little too slowly, but the end of this book finally forces Light to explain himself.*SPOILER* I enjoyed his monologue, but I enjoyed it even more when he gets shot 8 times. Anyway...if you truly like L...I think you'll be happy to see him avenged.
Truth is beauty and beauty is truth. In the end, Death note became a manga without beauty. Death Note was definetely the most beautiful Manga I have ever read. It had more "niveau" than Naruto, it wasn't about violence, overall it was all in the mind. The excitement when Light and L met, I cannot describe with simple words. And then it happened *SPOILER ALERT* L died
With the death of a main character, the whole series went way down. Why did they not simply end it with the death of L, and maybe make a epilog about the "God of the Shinigami". More of the Shinigami realm. The origin of the death note.
I give the story 5 stars. I give the ending half a star. Since this is just the final part it gets 2 stars, because no matter what, this series always deserves AT LEAST 2 stars.
To all those that want a good ending, read the series until L dies, and then think about the world being under Kira's command.
At least it is more suitable than this ending
Gift Don't know much about the Novels I buy them as gifts, though I could only get the whole set here and at a really good price.
Best Series of any Book This is the best series in the world! Although that may sound somewhat immature and over reaching it is the truth. Although I hate how this is the end, I have always and will continue to love this series.
What an awful letdown. Tsugumi Ohba, Death Note: Finis (ViZ, 2003)
Man, I expected something more from the final volume of the great Death Note, one of the strongest manga series I've ever come across. But, honestly, I didn't get something more. This is a serious letdown-- it's an entire volume of the awful ending of crime films where the detective gathers everyone into a room and lets the killer explain how everything worked, in case you didn't pick up the clues. The rest of the series is wonderful, but this volume really drags down the quality of the series as a whole. **
