 Read "Another Note" insteadJan 14, 2010
As mentioned elsewhere, this is an alternate version of movie 3. Personally, I really liked the 3 live action movies, as well as the manga and the anime. I enjoyed "Deathnote: Another Note," the book by Nisioisin, and thought I'd give this book a try as well. Unfortunately, I was tempted not to finish it, simply because the writing is nowhere near the level of either the manga or "Another Note." (I only finished it because the cat was sleeping in my lap, and I couldn't reach another book.) Scenes are a choppy page and a half each, there is absolutely no character development, and the writing is not what I would consider as being on a professional level. (Sorry, M, whoever you are. And that said, there is certainly a lot of stuff published that I also don't consider to be on a professional level. Perhaps I'm too picky.) Read this pretty much only if you are a rabid L fan, and have to read everything associated with the Deathnote universe. Otherwise, I'd recommend giving it a miss.
Starved for more Death Note and this deliversJan 04, 2010
If you are like me and have read all of the Death Note mangas, watched the anime and the live action and you still want more, this is it.
It takes place in the live action movie world of Death Note, not the manga or anime. I have not seen the movie version of this (I like to read the books before seeing the movie), but this is a novelization of the movie. L has one last task before he dies - stop bioterrorists before they unleash an Ebola like virus across the planet.
It has nice nods to what has come before, there are cameos and a little more background on Wammy's House and the children trained there. I probably would have liked this if it were longer too. All in all, worth the read (only 188 pages!).

A lot better than the movieDec 26, 2009
I liked reading this book a lot better than watching L Change the World (movie). The book is almost totally different. It is more action packed and adventurous. I found the movie a bit dull. Part 1 and 2 of the whole movie series are good, but part three is a bit dull movie wise. The book is really awesome and will make up for a dull movie. If you have never seen the anime series , than you should definitely watch that. The anime series is the best and most interesting. A lot is left out in these movies from what you see when you watch the anime. I actually read this book before I watched the movies and anime, and I understood what was going on with no problem. It was action packed and interesting from the beginning. But it definitely wasn't worth the near 20 bucks I spent on it at Barnes and nobles

Nothing Like the MovieDec 24, 2009
L: Change the World book is nothing at all like the movie, but it's very good and I really recommend you read it ^^
The book might not be as good as the movie, but you'll never know what will happen, that's the good thing. I was so interested in this book it only took me 3 days to read it.
I really would recommend you read this book ^^
