A review by preetalina
Dexter By Design by Jeff Lindsay
3.0
I'd been waiting to read this book for a while, since finishing the third in the series a couple months back, then waiting for my library to have it available. (I've *tried* to stop buying books.)
I just started watching the TV series recenrly, and am currently in the middle of the 2nd season. I think overall I prefer the books though there are some parts here and there of the show that I like over the books.
After seeing how much the show was veering off the storyline in the books, I was really looking forward to this one, to see where the author would take Dexter next.
The book was somewhat of a disappointment. It was similar, in some respects, to the first one, where there was a lot of buildup but the ending sort of happened all at once. And things just happened so conveniently, though I guess it couldn't have happened any other way. I will say that overall I prefer the Dexter of the books than the Dexter of the TV show. I like the fact that he appears much less human in the books. I think that's really what makes the character. I also like the concept of the Dark Passenger, which doesn't really make an appearance in the show. It didn't make much of an appearance in this book either, which was another reason for disappointment.
I'm wondering if there will be another book in the series, and I'm assuming there will be, especially after the ending.
