Death Note: Black Edition, Vol. 2

Yep, I finally gave this series a try. I was skeptical for a long time, it didn't sound like something I would like but it was so popular so I decided why not?

Its a good story, very well told and pretty interesting but I have to be honest and say its not for me. I think it has to do with the main character, I don't like him very much and its not because of his actions if I was that against what he was doing I wouldn't have picked up the book but its why he's doing it. He think its his job, his mission to kill all of the evil people in the world because he is the only one who has the guts to do it. He's basically proclaimed himself the savior of the world wanting to turn it into a utopia where he will rule. A bit self-righteous don't you think? Frankly I think he's a bit full of himself too, which genius characters tend to be because they are smarter then everyone for example House but when a character starts thinking they should be ruler all mighty because they are better than everyone else and not just smarter well that's just pushing it.

I really like the character L, we don't get his face or his name because if we did Light would have killed him already but we know L is an ace detective who has solved every case he's taken. He doesn't work for one agency and he's just as smart if not more than Light. If I continued reading Death Note it would be to find out what next step L will take to catch Light but sadly that's not what I am going to do.

There are LOTS of people who love this series so don't let my opinion alone be the deciding factor for you, pick up a volume and see for yourself.
