Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay
3.0
Dexter is a sociopath, serial killer, and a man who adheres to a strict moral code instilled in him by his foster father. He only kills killers. Is it sick and wrong that I'm a bit attracted?
I was intrigued by the character concept, but the book is very short and sparse. True, it's a series, and I have picked up book two already. Still, I just plain prefer more. He's a fiercely introverted and introspective man, so with a first-person narrative, I should have gotten to know him quickly. I didn't. Perhaps book two will be more revealing.
Perhaps you're not supposed to be able to get to know a sociopath?
