Book Reviews of Dearly Devoted Dexter
Book Review: delicious dexter
Summary: 5 Stars
A gripping read that tantalises and repulses at the same time. Dexter is delicious!Book Review: I Luv Dexter!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had to buy the books after watching the first season on CBS. I loved teh show so much I checked out the first book at the library and instantly feel in love. The books (as always) are much better than the series. The author has quite a gift and this series is one page turner after another.Book Review: Dexter, Take Two
Summary: 3 Stars
It's book two review and I'm still a Dexter fanatic. I'm still thinking I should have read all the books before watching the show because Michael C. Hall's portrayal of Dexter is better than Book Dexter, in my humble opinion.
I still love the idea of a serial killer who not only kills bad guys, but also adores his "work." The only thing that started to lose me in the book was the unlikely idea of every new serial killer knowing Dexter and meeting with him in some way. You have to kind of throw rational thinking to the wind and say, "Okay, every big serial killer in the planet could very well be in Miami and have an affinity or hatred or a connection with/for Dexter. Why not?"
The show doesn't do this and is much better, much more cohesive, much more believable.
But, yeah, if you're like me and need to read a book because you watch the show or the movie, go ahead, dig deeply into Dexter, but you may be disappointed. Deeply disappointed.
The read is fine, but the thrill is gone. Showtime nails it though.
Book Review: Another witty outing with deadly Dexter
Summary: 3 Stars
When Dexter ends up at a crime scene with the victim barely alive and mutilated in such a way as to garner his admiration for his fellow monsters skill he doesn't realise that Deb is about to pressure him to find the killer with his own unique insights.
This second Dexter outing is an enjoyable read. It's the wit of Dexter's comments on ordinary human existence rather than his bloody hobby that make these books such an entertaining read, though I have to say ending the story continues to be one of the authors weak points with plots.
Having seen second season of the TV series its interesting to see what plot points were lifted from the novel. Though I have to say despite enjoying this book, I'm not in a hurry to read book 3 based on the reviews. I'd give this outing 3.5 stars if I could - the book is a quick and sometimes funny read, though it really doesn't contain much depth outside Dexter himself.
Book Review: GO DEXTER!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first started watching the series on Showtime and was hooked. I bought the first season DVD and all the books.
I am going to buy the second season DVD as well.
The show is VERY GOOD!! It keeps you on the edge of your seat. The character Dexter is likeable yet scarey. All the characters are very interesting.
I think Showtime did an awesome job in the cast.
