A review by jesslolsen
Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay

5.0

I haven't watched the TV series, although I have been told by enough people that it is definitely worth watching. From reading other reviews it looks like I have done it the right way by reading the book first, because I started reading this book series with no real comparison other than a few images to help me imagine what Dexter would look like as I was reading. So, contrary to what other readers have said, I was not at all disappointed by the book version. I found Dexter sarcastic and witty in all the right places, and his internal dialogue was helpful in showing how hard he tried to blend in to his surrounding.

I don't usually read too many thriller/murder mysteries, but I loved this, and am picking up the second one to continue on straight away.
