Some thoughts on Death Note

So Manga for me is kind of hard to read. It took me a while to realize the way in which to read the story, but once I did it wasn't that bad. I always thought manga was kind of like anime and it could very well still be, but for some reason I really enjoyed Death Note. 

First of all Light is really messed up. I mean who even thinks about wanting to experiment to see if the Death Note would actually work. It's like he is over taken by this book and nothing will stop him until he creates this pure world. In the beginning I thought that he was using the book somewhat ok, with killing the known terrorist/criminal people. But then he was like oh the reason why the criminals are all dying the same is so that I can get noticed. He wants people to know that if they do something bad they will get punished. Even something small and stupid could result in them dying by getting hit by a bus or something. It's kind of scary how all of this power is given to a 16 year old boy who thinks that it's his duty to pure the world of all evil people, when in the end he is one himself.
