I had about the same reaction, and haven't continued reading much past that point.
1. I LOVED L. Since I found the other characters interesting but not likable (except for the woman investigator who got killed in volume one), his death took away a lot of narrative interest.
2. I thought the story was heading for L getting the Death Note, and think tat would have been so much more interesting than what actually happened.
3. The new characters didn't grab me. (Despite Mello's fabulous ass.)
4. Even after Eraldo Coil, I still have to say... Quillsh Wammy!?! !!!!
