A work of genius!
Volume 1 of Death Note was something quite strange, but at the same time, something very interesting. The way I see this book, it deals with morals and what different people believe to be right. This is, of course, an intriguing topic as most people's morals differ.
The main character, Light, is a teenage boy who happens to find a mysterious notebook on the ground one day. He soon discovers that this notebook has unbelievable abilities and that he can use these abilities to rid the world of evil. He sets out with good intentions, but do his intentions remain pure...?
There is so much thought that goes into an intricate plot-line such as in Death Note and the authors really did a smashing job, in my opinion.
