Playing Hangman
Great read my only negative comment - would be that the story moves to quickly at the ending. I enjoyed Mr. Lindsay's writing style and the development of both Dexter and his sister Deborah which were very funny. I look forward to reading the third in the series, its "bloody good"!

Maturing, or lack thereof
I began reading Dearly Devoted Dexter wanting to like it, and I will admit in some bits I did. That said though, while Darkly Dreaming Dexter wasn't a great book, it at least was entertaining- but see, that's where it stopped for me.In this book, we see Dexter with Doakes stalking him, which...

Dexter and the Terrible Torturer
In real life, serial killers tend to be rather charmless, but fortunately, there is the world of fiction to give these miscreants their own particular appeal. The classic would, of course, be Hannibal Lecter, but there is also Jeff Lindsay's Dexter Morgan. Dexter gains his likeability from the...

Anti-climatic Dexter
Dexter presented a clever plot that dragged along the way and had several aspects that didn't quite make sense. Like why would they allow a co-worker from the Police Department in effect stalk another employee during non-work hours. Sgt. Doakes did this and Dexter blithely allowed it to happen...

Some things just shouldn't be written...
This book is far too gruesome. It is a tragedy that this was even committed to paper. I gave it a chance, I read it to the end. I wish I could wash the horrible images from my mind. I will never read another Dexter novel and I will try to talk friends out of reading them too.

Dexter Deviates from TV for the better!!
I really love this series! This one pretty much completely deviated from the television series. Well, there were some similarities - Doakes and his stalking Dexter, Deborah's involvement with a Fed, but there were some major differences. This time the serial killer at the forefront is not Dexter...

Dearly Devoted Dexter
Much better than the first book, though I wanted more of it.There were many times that I laughed out loud during this book, or had to re-read a paragraph or two to my husband just to share it. And at the same time there were times that I was actually squirming and almost felt like I had to put...
