Book Review of Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Dexter, Bk 1)

Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Dexter, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 15 more book reviews


Usually the books are better than the movies/tv show, but Michael Hall is SO good at becoming Dexter that he endears his audience. The tv shows are loyal to the book; however, the book is not as seductive at wrapping the reader into Dexter's personality, his killing "rooms," or the whole feel. I read this book and will read the others in order to get "more" of Dexter, but after the series, ink isn't as compelling.
