Dexter's Final Cut
by Jeff Lindsay
I had forgotten how darkly amusing Dexter can be. The writing can be delicious, when it is not boring. Yet, the characters and story can be oh so dull.
At least, in this book Dexter finally looks at himself and admits he's stupid. Like everyone in the series. That said, our protagonist was completely ooc in this book. Goodbye Dex who isn't affected by such pesky things as feelings, good looks, sexual attraction or sexual desire, who's this? Dexter may not love Rita, but he has always cared for Astor and Cody enough to take them under his wing, save them more than once, same for Rita. And above all, he has a big connection with his baby girl since he first laid eyes on her. You know the dad who thinks his baby is perfect and the smartest in the world? That's Dexter Morgan. And he didn't give two sh*ts about any of his kids!!
Also, is Astor really like that? She might always be in a bad mood, as well as part of team childhood trauma with Cody and Dex, so possibly in some sort of antisocial personality disorder spectrum (though the writing isn't that good that I'd say whatever she is, is captured right), butboth her and Cody fought a killer to save their mother's life in a previous book ffs!! She might not cry over her mother dying, BUT WHY WASN'T SHE preoccupied in the least over her safety?! She was also obviously willing to let pedo Robert kill her own stepfather and mentor just so she'd be famous. I guess it's maybe accurate, the lack of empathy, remorse, and doing anything to reach her goals... yet, I always felt like they had this sort of our team of monsters + mom & baby vs other monsters... idk, I might be wrong about that last bit
Everyone (or almost all of the characters) adapted Rita's very peculiarand annoying speaking style of fractured and aborted sentences!! WHY?? Wtfrog
Good to mention that this volume ends on a cliffhanger.
