I love this book. I wanted to hug it so much. In the first 10 pages, Dexter is already on his first kill. A deserved Catholic priest who had raped and murdered children from orphanages that he helped run. So many Catholic priests deserve to meet their end instead being hidden in the powerful evi...

I have somehow avoided seeing or even really hearing anything at all about the tv series (except "It's about a serial killer"), despite having several family members that are moderately obsessed, so it was interesting walking into this with no real understanding of what on earth I was going to find....

3.5 starsI am definitely planning to read the next book and eventually watch the show. The storyline wasn't amazing to me, but the whole idea of him and what will happen next really interests me. I didn't care much about anyone else in the story except his foster father, but I super enjoyed his in...

I knew when I picked up the book that this would be about a man who killed killers and who worked somehow with the police. These things were true. I didn't know that Dexter was literally a psychopath but maybe I should have guessed that. It was kind of a deal breaker for me. He is someone who is inc...

Alright, I am a huge fan of the show. HUGE fan. I've watched all eight seasons and I'm still aching for more, so I picked up the first novel in the series that the Showtime television series "Dexter" derived from. As with any book read after the movie or television adaptation, I kept picturing the a...

My knowledge of the psychology of serial killers is limited to the probably inaccurate information I’ve learned from TV shows. However, given what I know, I felt the author did a creepily good job of capturing Dexter’s feeling of anticipation, need to kill, and satisfaction at doing so. He also did ...
