 The original Dexter! September 15, 2008
I am a huge Dexter fan. If you are discovering Dexter because of the TV show, you will be pleasantly surprised as the books do differ in the plot than the TV show!
Dexter is the serial killer you root for, as he tracks down really bad guys and disposes of them in a way the police cannot!

I actually got this for my husband, but look forward to reading it. He LOVED it!
 Dissonant Dexter August 20, 2008
Dexter is a sociopath who isn't a sociopath. His moral compass is broken, but it is still there. I couldn't quite buy into the anomaly protagonist that the author tries to explain throughout the story, but at the same time I found the concept intriguing and full of potential.
What I didn't find intriguing was the way the author makes almost every other major character in the story a bumbling fool. Perhaps it was to make Dexter shine even more in comparison, or maybe it was to frame the condescending (yet unemotional) perspective of Dexter? Whatever the reason, the story was ultimately a hard sell with such a cast of flaccid personalities.
I am hoping that these shortcomings are something that Jeff Lindsay can overcome in future installments, because even with the lackluster initial release, I believe good storylines can be worked around Dexter.

Dexter not my normal story but it got my interest. Dexter only murders the bad guys. Dexter was a foster child of a homicide detective, who taught him to only kill the bad guys and make sure he has proof before doing it.
A new serial killer is in Dexters area. Wow the gruesome details are beyond belief. Not for the faint hearted.
Details. Is it possible????? Now anyone who has read it and I'm not with giving away the final ending. Is it possible to cut off so many parts off a human and the person surviving???? (not saying how many parts) But being realistic most authors do their homework. Surely it may be possible or absolutely not possible. What is your opinion!!! I will be earmarking that section and will play the 10 minutes of the worst bit to nurses and high up clients who work in hospitals and see what they think. One close friend said rubbish no way someone would live. What is your opinion??????? comment and lets see peoples opinions.

Darkly Dreaming Dexter
This book was a great read. Even if you watched the show first. However the Dexter in the show is different than the one in the book. This book neatly wraps up the charcter that is Dexter and does so quickly as well as humorously. I love the wit and sarcasm, i think it tops it off nicely. I can't wait to read the second book.
