Death Note: Booktalk
Some Death Note rules:
- The Human whose name is written in this note shall die
- this note will not take effect unless the writer has the person’s face in their mind when writing his/her name therefore people sharing the same name will not be effected
- if the cause of death is written within forty seconds of writing the person’s name it will happen
- if the cause of death is not specified the person will simply die of a heart attack
- After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next six minutes and forty seconds.
What if you found a notebook that gave you the power to kill anyone you wanted with just the stroke of a pen? Would you take advantage of this ability? How would you use it? Would you use your power for good – or for your own benefit?
This is exactly the dilemma that Light Yagami, a Japanese high school student, faces when he finds a death note that has been dropped into the world by a Shinigami – a death god.
Light decides to use his power to make the world better and kill criminals. But soon, people start suspecting that someone who they call Kira is behind the mysterious deaths of criminals.
Can Light keep his identity as Kira a secret when the world’s greatest detective gets on the case? What if the world’s greatest detective is another teenage boy?
