Mello and Matt are the highlights of this series! I need more of them... They need their own series! They are my favourite team. And I fear to say thaMello and Matt are the highlights of this series! I need more of them... They need their own series! They are my favourite team. And I fear to say that if it came to Mello/Matt vs Kira, I would be supporting Mello and Matt!
Loved Misa in this one, she's hilarious and I loved Mello's reaction to her, so much fun.
However, I have to say that I miss the old days where Light could freely communicate with Ryuk. Now, we have Ryuk on the page but he's just there, standing and watching. The apple loving creature needs more space! And I want Mello to meet Ryuk!
And hopefully, I don't even need to mention that I don't like Near. The monkey child is rather boring and honestly, he does not seem to have any ideas of his own. L thought that something was true so Near follows it. ...more
Okay, this is so amazing! I literally freaked out because I cannot take it how amazing it is. And this is my second time reading it!)

Team Kira Okay, this is so amazing! I literally freaked out because I cannot take it how amazing it is. And this is my second time reading it!)

Team Kira all the way and I feel no shame at all! And I want Ryuk! I would give him all of our apples! Btw, can I say that detective Raye Penber deserved what he got? I seriously disliked the way he talked to his fiancée, Naomi....more
You gotta stop them at the beginning. Like they shoulda stopped Hitler at Munich, they should never let him get away with that, they were just asking You gotta stop them at the beginning. Like they shoulda stopped Hitler at Munich, they should never let him get away with that, they were just asking for big trouble when they let him get away with that.
You know that you are a Czech person when this is your favourite quote/sentence(s) from the whole book.
I expected many things from this book because let's face it this book is a phenomenon! But, I didn't know what I will get because I never saw the movies and never read anything about the book. Also, this book has impressive power; it took me so long to read it because every time I opened in public someone started to talk to me about it. A policeman at the Prague castle that was searching my bag and watched as I went through the metal detector, at least three workers at the Prague airport, an English gentleman that sat next to on the flight to Istanbul, numerous people in metro...
So, I started. I was flooded with so many characters that I had no idea where my head was. I loved some; I hated some, I wanted to know about many. I thought that some of them deserved their fate or even worse than they were getting. I could not stand Johnny Fontana, he got everything, and he appreciated nothing. I was surprised to actually like Jules Segal; he was surprisingly refreshing.
I looked at some reviews and was actually surprised at how many people complain about the women and their role in the story. And I want to ask, what did they expect? A strong heroine that would put battle with the men? Italians, mafia, taking place after World War Two, being published at the time... That is not a set up for a strong heroine. No, it is a recipe for a housewife, mother, wife or daughter. Anything else and you can bet that the character won't be portrait positively or as a strong character. I don't think this should be judged by today's standards. (view spoiler)[Yeah, Lucy's operation scene was pretty creepy. Even I have to say that. (hide spoiler)]
I won't go into detail much because there is so much a could talk about.
This is a masterpiece!
But I need to say that I don't like Kay. I don't think she and Michael could function together. She is too progressive for a role of a wife that asks nothing, sees nothing and does as she is told. I actually liked Apollonia. Yes, she liked the little powers that Michael gave her, as teaching her how to drive. I actually think that they were more suited for each other. This brings me to the question, did Kay ever learn about Apollonia? And, in the beginning, I believe Michael liked Kay's progressiveness, but I wonder how he saw it after the time with Apollonia.
And, there is only one man named Clemenza for me. And that is Clemenza Caserta from Hell's Kitchen! I saw him playing Clemenza, and I could not unsee that.
