The story of this novel is indeed interesting. It shows events before the appearance of death note and Kira. If you are a fan of death note, this novel is a must read. However, if you are a big fan of L (like me), the ending of the story will be a disappointment for you. The novel is great overall. In the end, you'll find some interesting facts that have never shown in the anime.
This was a very quick read and, like the anime and manga of Death Note, is intense and exciting even with little real action. The silly names of some of the characters are a litte strange at first, but I got used to them. I would reccomend anyone who reads this book watch at least the first 7 or 8 episodes of the Death Note anime or read the first volume or two of the manga BEFORE reading Another Note. Anyone totally unfamiliar with Death Note just won't get the full effect of the story.
I ordered this book on july 31st, and got it the very next day. And I gotta say, it is an amazing book. There is so much mystery, puzzle solving, I felt like I wouldn't stop reading. For everyone who are Death Note fans, I recommend this book. You get to know a lot more about Beyond Birthday, I think he was mentioned in the manga; I'm not sure, cause I didn't read most of them, only 7 through 12. The story is also a bit funny, consisting Ryuzaki; going on all fours looking for clues.
