Dexter's Final Cut by Jeff Lindsay
2.0
I'm a big fan of the Dexter show, and although I knew the series was based on a book, what I didn't know is that the book was also a series. I found this at the library the other day, and decided to pick it up, even though I knew I'd be reading out of order. I was mostly just curious about the author's writing style, and how the book compared to the show.
Well, the main characters are about 95% the same, and that's about all I can say. The writing style was ... well, it was boring. Even with the subject matter being a serial killer, it was still snoozeville. Not only was I completely irritated at Dexter's totally uncharacteristic thoughts and actions, the story itself was just stupid (Hollywood actors, really?). About the only thing I liked was how Dexter switched from an "I" perspective to "we" once he went into serial killer mode -- as if to suggest that his Dark Passenger was now with him. The rest of it, I could live without and I won't be reading another of these books. I think I'll just stick to watching the shows.
