I think volume 3 was entertaining and story proceeded well after volumes 1 and 2.
Excellent 3rd installment to the series. The story becomes much more a battle of wits between Light and L, and a new character is thrown into the mix. Great read!
Light and L meet face to face and the battle of wits increases. Meanwhile a killer has appeared in Japan and it seems that he or she has a death note, too. The plot thickens further. Worthy continuation of the series.
