Helpful Score: 4

What do you get when you combine an over-achieving high school student and a magic notebook that lets you kill someone by doing little more than writing the target's name? You get Death Note. This is a tightly plotted mystery that will pull you right along. If you can take the fact that the "hero" progresses fairly quickly from having good intentions to mass murder to delusions of world domination (over the course of the first three volumes). Still, once the main antagonist--with his almost equally stark views on right, wrong, good, and evil--is brought in, the cat-and-mouse game gets very, very interesting.
