I so wanted to enjoy this. I love the TV series. But I just didn't really enjoy it. It was easy to get through, and hearing Michael C. Hall's voice in my head added some enjoyment, but there was no real excitement on my side about reading it. Ah well, plenty of other series based on book series. I c...

you know that rack at CVS or stop and shop? the one that has all the books with half naked men clad in some sort of weird armor, cape, or trying his best to pull off the vampire fang routine? this book... this terribly written book, belongs there.

For those of you not familiar with Dexter Morgan, he is employed as a blood splatter analyst with the Miami Police Department, Homicide. He is a good brother, a loyal boyfriend and he loves kids. Oh, he does have one flaw … he also happens to be a serial killer. Suffering a tragic experience as a...

Presumably everyone here already knows what this one is about, consider how big the TV show is. Dexter is one of my absolute favourite TV shows. But I didn't decide to pick up the book 'til recently (after already having watched 6 seasons of the show). I wasn't in a hurry to read it, as most of t...

I must admit - I read the book after I've seen most of the season 1 of the TV series. And what a pleasant surprise it was - that the book is (dare I say it?) just as good, if not better, than the TV adaptation? I loved the monologues Dexter would engage in - his conteplations on being a psychopath a...

My in-laws have suddenly become obsessed with Dexter the TV series. It's all they're watching if there isn't a Suns game on. But since they're watching it through Netflix on the Wii, there's no closed captioning*. I figured, until somebody buys the seasons for them, I might as well join in on the De...

Not bad. I spent most of the time being impressed by how well the TV series captured the characters in both personality and appearance (well, except for Deb's boobs).

Let me start by saying that when I started reading this series, I had not watched the TV show that they are based on. When TV shows or movies are based on a book or series of books, I always prefer to read the book before seeing the show or movie. I can honestly say that for this series, I enjoyed b...

I can't believe that I laughed my way through a book whose main character considers human vivisection an art form. Not only that, Dexter is totally lovable in spite of himself. First book of the series is very promising. Looking forward to the rest.
