I read this and another of the Dexter books when I first saw commercials for the TV show. Thought the books were great. Cool idea for a character, a serial killer blood-spatter cop. Glad I read the books before watching the show because I like the show better.

I was so disappointed. I pounced on this book hungrily, couldn't WAIT to read it.
My problems with it:
Boring and repetitive. Barely a shell of the show, hardly a good read. I had to force myself through it. I honestly don't see why they decided to make this into a show, I guess it was a pretty good decision since the show is so freaking amazing but yeah, the book is riddled with poor writing that could have been fixed with a good editor. Words are used over and over again and gives the impression that the author has a really poor grasp on writing. It really seems like Deb blushes every other page, it disgusts me. The book plays on her sexuality in a way that just makes me feel like a huge creep. Things that were gasp-worthy in the show are diminished and played down in the novel. The ending was likewise poor, I felt that the people who adapted this for the show did a stellar job of cleaning up a messy novel. Would Never Read Again. Anyone want my copy?

A bit too much of Dexter's psychology and not enough development of, nor verisimilitude with, the other characters. Still a good read though, especially in between episodes of the tv show!

These books are as enjoyable as the Showtime series! You really get into the head of this likeable serial killer!

I am a huge Dexter fan. If you are discovering Dexter because of the TV show, you will be pleasantly surprised as the books do differ in the plot than the TV show!
Dexter is the serial killer you root for, as he tracks down really bad guys and disposes of them in a way the police cannot!
