I’m a big fan of the Dexter show, but I feel like this book falls a little flat by comparison (which is ironic considering the show is inspired by the book). Dexter is much more of a flat character in the book with not much growth. In fact, the ensemble of characters feel flat or trope-y to me in general. I found myself feeling let down while reading this as I was expecting it to be similar to the show that I love.
