Let me start off by saying, that I have watched the show. Not religiously, but enough to say that I prefer the show over the book.Yes I like Jeff Lindsay's wit and sarcasm and love the character of Dexter, but I feel the show captures the true essence of him much more than the book did.I don't know ...
Hmmmm.....two and a half stars? 3 for plot and a nice mystery with some significant twists. But epic fail for the annoying characters. There are times when you love Dexter, specifically at the beginning, when you're getting to know him, and then he just becomes a snide, egotistical, silly and hyp...
Hard to classify this one, genre-wise. A very good read until the unsatisfyingly unexplained ending - knocked it from 4 stars down to 3 with that. I love the cable series, and find this to be very true to the series so far (with minor plot changes to accommodate serialization onto cable). Will defin...

I enjoyed the book, but it wasn't really as good as I'd thought it was going to be. I love the concept, and I think the author does an excellent job developing the main character so that he is complex and believable. The problem both my husband and I had was that we felt that none of the other chara...
I liked this book. I found Dexter to be darkly disturbing and believable in his descriptions of how he functions in society as a sociopathic serial killer. I chuckled several times during the story as well, but I just wasn't crazy about it. I don't know if the humor was maybe too much, like Linds...
I'm only giving it 4 stars based on the fact that HBO's adaptation was a bit more enjoyable - granted, the ending felt more complete within the book - the series is very addictive.
I knew the series before I read this book and I love the series so I was a bit worried about how I would perceive this story. I shouldn’t have worried, because the book is great. The atmosphere is eerie, the characters all believable and with depth and the (dark) comedy Lindsay put in makes...
Note: Originally read December 2009. I'm pushing some of my oold reviews to my website. Don't mind this.I picked up this book because I love the series. The premise of a serial killer killing other serial killers was just too interesting to pass up. You actually root for Dex, even though you know th...
Not really a review, just my random thoughts so I can remember [later on:] what I thought of the book.I cannot honestly figure out what I thought of this book. I find it too difficult to not compare the novel to the first season of the TV series. Everything was just radically different... the charac...
