A lot of alliteration. Dexter is really annoying.

I've watched the series and I like the show more, however I really liked the book. Not my normal genre, but the fast paced energy and jokes made it easy to go through. The book is also slightly different from the series so it was a nice surprise that the show changed the plot a little. The wrap up of the book was FAST.

What a nice read :)
I watched the show a while ago and enjoyed it, reading it was equally as entertaining. From what I remember the details are pretty much parallel with some minor changes. I'd recommend if you're already interested in the series as this was a nice refresher.

This book was adapted very well as the TV series Dexter. Some of it was adapted line by line

except of course for what happened with Laguerta and Deb finding out
