Book Reviews of the Death Note, Vol. 13: How to Read
Customer Review: Great series, dissappointing extras. Good stuff at the end
Summary: 3 Stars
Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from this, having read all twelve volumes of Death Note and being disappointed with the last few.
I've loved the series as a whole, and was very excited to see this released. However, it is definitely a disappointment as a whole.
Basically, it tells you everything you already knew about Death Note if you've read all the way through, but it is no substitute for the real thing.
Pretty much the only parts of it worth reading are towards the end, where they have some nice interviews and a few pages of bonus manga tangentially connected to the main story (yonkoma and a oneshot). That, and the fact that there is a shiny, shiny card with L's real name on it right after the front cover are the only real reasons to buy it.
Most of the stuff comes off as unnecessary or overly cheesy (towards the middle), and really is not worth a purchase except for the diehards.
