I almost wrote my own name in the book, but stopped right after "Property of"... It's probably better that way.

خیلی خب. بذارین ببینم درست متوجه شده‌م. یا نه. این کتاب یه سری توضیحات درباره‌ی دفترچه مرگ داره و بقیه‌ش دفترچه یادداشت عادیه. و تازه نمی‌تونی هیچ خاطره‌ای توش بنویسی، به هر حال طرفدار دفترچه‌ی مرگ باید بدونه این دفترچه چه رفتار خطرناکی با اسم‌ها داره.

و بابتش باید خداتومن هم پول پرداخت کرد.
درست متوجه شده‌م؟

This book is a total eye opener. The dark protagonist was so well written that it should be the benchmark for other writers.

Not really a book and more just a notebook with some fun pages in the beginning from the original series. But I own it and its here so I guess i'm adding it.

First half was great! Loved it, original, captivating. Second half was literally just a repeat of the first half with different characters. Plot lines were explained way too much that it became annoying and infuriating to read. It’s almost like the author didn’t give his readers any credit for being able to think and follow a plot line. Instead the whole plot line and thought process was spelled out to you like you were learning the alphabet for the first time: “A is for Apple”.

This is a review of the entire series.

Light Yagami is an academic prodigy with a bright future ahead of him. He's highly regarded by his family, friends, teachers and classmates for his strong social presence and his level-headed genius demeanor. Despite seeming to be destined for great things, he's bored out of his mind, uninterested in daily life and disgusted with all the crime and corruption going on in the world. No matter how hard he works and how far he strives, he can't shake the feeling that the world is rotten and someone needs to step in and change it.

While sitting in class one fateful day, Light spies a black book falling from the sky as he gazes out the window in dissatisfaction. Out of curiosity, Light takes the book back home and studies the strange rules written within it. It boldly declares that anyone's name that is written in the notebook will die. Light writes down the name of a wanted criminal as a joke, only for the criminal to die on live television right before his eyes. Light soon realizes that the power of a god of death is in his hands, and if anyone can correct the wrongs of the world it's him. With the Death Note at his disposal, he vows to rid the world of evil.

As thousands of criminals begin to die within mere days, the FBI contacts the greatest detective the world has ever known who goes by the alias of L. L knows how to tap into the mind of a petty and narcissistic crook that never admits defeat better than anyone because he claims to have the mind of one himself. He employs any methods necessary to catch his target, breaking them down piece by piece until they finally slip up and get themselves caught. He's hot on Light's heels and starts to put the pressure on him by setting up dozens of intellectual traps for him to fall into. When pushed to the breaking point, Light begins to reveal his true colors.

This series is clever, dark, full of suspense and makes great use of metaphorical religious themes and imagery. It’s a look into what happens when dangerous power falls into the hands of a gifted young man that thinks he's got the world all figured out and needs to change it through excessive force. Light is a collected, highly skilled and incredibly smart ace student with the powerful urge to make the world a better place, but he's also a selfish narcissist that will do anything to make his dream a reality, even if it means killing hundreds of innocent people if they try to get in the way of his morally flawed goal. He's not nearly as noble or mature as he often tricks people into believing he is. He's a vile manipulator that treats his fellow humans like chess pieces.

Light becomes corrupted by the power to choose when people die and we are subjected to watching what seemed to be an idealistic young hero slowly reveal himself to be a narcissistic sociopath with a god complex. Light is cunning and charismatic, yet he’s also petty, spiteful and capable of causing mass destruction if he's pushed into a corner. L is also petty and spiteful, which makes them perfect intellectual opponents that battle each other through intense mind games. The entire first half of the series is a fantastic psychological thriller with two super geniuses constantly trying to outwit each other.

The second half of the series isn't nearly as good as the first as it loses the psychological thriller elements in exchange for a more dark, action movie vibe. It's still good all the way through, but it definitely loses some of its magic in the second half because the stakes constantly try to escalate higher and higher until things begin to spiral out of control. I much preferred the more self-contained psychological narrative of Light vs L over the explosive and chaotic nature of the Light vs the entire world arc. Death Note truly shined when it was just Light playing intense mind games with a small group of characters that were on his intellectual playing field.

That being said, Death Note is one of the first manga series I've ever read and it feels nice to see that one of my old favorites still mostly holds up to my modern standards after so much time has passed since I first read it. It's honestly worth reading for the first half alone as it feels like a complete story in its own right, but the second half still has a few surprises despite not being quite as good. In terms of crime/thriller manga, I would say Monster and 20th Century Boys by Naoki Urasawa are more up to par.

In this book, it has an introduction paragraph of the book at the first and after there is an introduction to most of the characters. Sometimes there is unreleased information about the character, that what I like in this book, also there is information about an author at the beginning of this book. I like to read about an author because if I know what kind of an author who is making this it will be more fun to read the book and character information. There is more detail about why that happened or why did he or she did that in that situation.

Es original la idea de imitar la Death Note con sus reglas y sus páginas para escribir las víctimas. El tema es que la versión que me llegó tiene una traducción horrible y una tipografía ilegible. Anotaría el nombre del que lo editó. Seguro la versión japonesa debe ser impecable.

Love this 😍😍😍 Beautiful good quality notebook! Wrote about some girls in class that were annoying me, and they haven’t showed up to class for weeks! 10/10, it’s such a crazy coincidence they disappeared right after I got this book, almost like it’s magic ✨✨✨

Just like in the movie :)

Hubo reglas tan idiotas

[Tsu_yoshi · Rating 5 out of 5]

L's genius combined with Light's trickery makes a great series.

[Robin Banks · Rating 2 out of 5]

A very good premise for a morality play has turned into a cat-n-mouse between a super south and a magic killer.

[Macie Bruner]

I though that it was verygood.

[Nunya · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfect for the cosplay I bought it for!

I wasn’t expecting it to actually have the names of people written in it according to how it is in the anime, that was a very nice surprise.

[Beethoven The · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's not really a book per say as in a novel it's a cool prop which I use to act out the musical but its got all the rules inside and that's cool

Yeah, I got this book for my birthday from my sister (cuz she knew I liked the manga). Little did she know the power she had just handed to me.

[Hugo Antunes · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked the first concept but after (hiding spoilers) someone dies it becomes a litle boring

[Rakan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Can you imagine someone who has a note and if he writes,your name, your family's name, you will die? won't you be really scared, oh well read my book review. From the title of the book I can tell its horror/thriller and I can tell that the book is about a death note because of the title and I can tell that the book is kind of scary because of the pictures. This book reminds me of another comic book because this one if you write someone's name he dies and the other book if you say someone's name he dies but I'm not sure of the name of the other book. But about death note I'm not sure will light Yagami kill his dad because his dad works in the npa or will he keep him alive and says someone else has the death note when his dad finds out about the death note
