It is fun and easy to read, so I think I will make quick work of it, and I am already...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“So far this book is awesome. I love how you develop feelings for a man with no feelings, who is also a serial killer. ”

“I, like everyone else here, picked up this book after religiously watching Dexter on TV. You'll often hear people say that they "enjoyed the book so much more than the TV Show/Movie" and in this case I think the saying rings true.

You'll find some of the characters in the book are portrayed quite differently than their TV counterparts, and a lot of the things you may remember from Season 1 aren't present here. Showtime may have taken some "artistic liberties" in order to fill in 13 episodes from this book.
I'm planning on reading the other three books straight through after this one and am looking forward to seeing what other differences I can find. Who knows, I may even get a jump on Season 5! ;-)”

“I'd been wanting to read this for some time, especially after having watched the TV series and being an avid fan of it. I found that the TV show was largely loyal to the book, and kept to it very well, except for a few details. I also found the end very different and quite surprising, and am actually looking forward to reading the next books in the series to see where the story goes. A great book for anyone that enjoys a good crime story, or who enjoys watching Dexter.”

“I enjoyed the first season of Dexter a lot and that's what got me into this book. Although not quite the same as the show, the book is interesting enough to keep you hooked onto it. You can expect to enjoy the speed with which the plot unfolds itself, a good and twisted storyline and of course the hero, or shall I say the villain, of the book itself. Bear in mind... a little gore might be in the scenes in this book and its sequels. ”

“Dexter is a seriel killer, that kills seriel killers. Dexter is haunted by the Dark Passenger that rides along in his brain with him. When it is time to take care of things the Passenger takes over. However some new crimes that he gets called to start looking like his own work. Oh did I mention Dexter works for the police as a blood splatter analysis expert?
