    I first met Dexter via TV, and was curious to see how much the book would differ. I think that the book fans will still love the show, and the show fans will likely love the books. Of course to us, Dexter is going to already be in our heads, and the TV version can sometimes seem a little cooler, but I really enjoyed the book, and am interesting to see the directions the story will go, as the books go on way, an the show has apparently gone another.

  • A great suspense/thriller! A crime fighting, total sociopathatic serial killer that only kills the bad guys. That is the hero of the book, Dexter, and you find yourself liking him. I haven't seen the show based on the book but I know I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

  • You know from the get-go that the protagonist is a serial killer. It's an incredibly funny book. The t.v. show is great, but the books are even better than the t.v. version.

  • Similar to Showtime Series Season One

  • Most of the book mirrored a lot of the Showtime series for Season One, but there were some drastic differences at the conclusion of the novel.

    A good, easy read, and a very interesting character.

  • Funny, gruesome, charming -- all in all, a great book. It's nice to find a genuine anti-hero amongst the cluttered halls of "tough (wo)men with a heart of gold."
