My wife read this book and then we watched some of the anime episodes. I didn't really enjoy the anime so I didn't think I was going to like this book. But I did it was intriguing and I'm interested in reading more. The anime is pretty faithful from what i've seen, but the manga is better.

Wow.

This wasn't what I expected at all and I LOVE IT! I really thought it'd be some angsty, teen, cry-me-a-river crap but DAMN it's so much better. I think Light is so fascinating, the way he really wants to kill people but thinks he's doing the right thing, and how he has plan after plan for every scenario is utterly fascinating. He's for sure a sociopath but seeing things from his mind is interesting as hell. I'm hooked and cannot wait to read the rest of the series.
