refrejarator's review against another edition

dark funny mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.25

Felt much more readable than the first book. Still uses lots of alliteration. Dexter comes across as funny instead of just annoying.
