5.0 out of 5 stars Ambiguity , 17 Mar 2008
By Mr. RB FORTUNE-WOOD "Rowan" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Like many of these encyclopaedias for fictions this contains a lot of completely uninteresting information. However, there are a few really fascinating bits of info - that Ohba regards both L and Light as evil, that neither of the creators liked Near, that Ohba is inspired by the works of artist Jean Jansem. Most interestingly is the fact that both Ohba and Obata emphasised the philosophical ambiguity and the absence of any pretentious, didactic message; for me this is what makes Death Note so fascinating and so open to meandering and entertaining speculation. Death Note 13 also increased my respect for the artwork and the complexity and skill invested into this side of the manga.

The best feature of this bonus instalment was the inclusion of the Death Note pilot. This gives the reader real insight into how the idea developed from an interesting semi-philosophical (meta-ethical) thought experiment into one of the greatest fiction thrillers ever conceived. The flaws in the pilot have been aptly removed from the series, leaving only what makes Death Note the classic manga that it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT!, 9 April 2009
By Cristian Ruiz - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Está muy bien, soy español y como aquí no se ha publicado ni se publicará pues lo pillé en inglés, hay que tener cierto nivel pero tampoco es muy complejo, vamos que no es shakespeare... Pero bueno dejando eso aparte, es muy completo, y aunque hay muchas cosas obviables solo por las entrevistas bastante extensas e interesantes a ambos autores y el manga piloto ya vale la pena. Además quizá os resuelva alguna duda sobre cosas del argumento que no quedan claras o se os pasan. Muy recomendable!
