Darkly Dreaming Dexter Jeff Lindsay Books

As with most people here, I was a huge fan of the television series. I’ve had the book on my shelf for years now and finally found the time to blow through this very quick read. Lindsay has a distinct but not entirely original style of writing that truly helps craft Dexter’s voice. Although the literary tools deployed are helpful in developing Dexter’s persona, Lindsay’s choices like the short, basic sentence structure and repetitive alliteration often feels a bit like a middle schooler wrote it. The plot is almost identical to the first season of the show, and I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting the story. It was interesting to see how the show had been adapted from its source material. I look forward to reading the sequel and eventually getting to points in the story that are entirely unique from the show. There are clear choices the actors made that are different from the characters in the story, and it gives them a different personality and makes their actions have different meanings. I’d be interested to see how far apart the on screen versions end up from the on page versions by the end of the series. But for now, I’d just say I’d recommend it if you’re looking for something quick and want to revisit Dexter, but bypass it if you’re looking for something compelling, new, or unique.

Darkly Dreaming Dexter Jeff Lindsay Books Reviews

The author here does a wonderful job writing this story. I know everyone is quick to say the books are better, and there is a reason for that. The imagination of the author really shines in this book, Lindsay's creation comes to life (and death) in the best of ways. This is just the first book in the series, so there's much more out there for us to enjoy. I encourage any fan of the show to pick this book up, you wont be disappointed!
I have to admit that I'm a fan of the show which lead me to try the first in the series. Though similar, there are very different. That can be a good thing. Unlike the adaptations of Charlene Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series, I think it was good that the show (Dexter) ventured off to create their own voice. I think that was a wise decision as other shows like True Blood and The Walking Dead tried to keep their story lines very close to the original novels and then radically changed all of the sudden after two seasons. Regardless, this review is about the book. I breezed though this book and was glad of the surprises that laid ahead. I don't want to spoil it for new readers but this book, though it starts off almost exactly like the television series, veers off into its own making it a unique entity. I look forward to the next book in the series as I now want to find out what the original storyline Lindsey wrote for Dexter and clan. Good stuff! I would say read this book and be surprised that it's not at all what you thought it would be.
I watched the TV series before I read the books and that might make me biased. I liked the first book of the Dexter series, but it didn't captivate me as much as the TV series did - somehow it feels to me like the characters in the books are not as deep as in the TV series, which surprised me as it almost always is the other way around.
Still, this was an enjoyable read.
The series is so well executed (pun intended) that I was curious to read the book that inspired it all. I found the situation to be similar to Trueblood okay book with good ideas that has been masterfully adapted to the screen.

The author did a brilliant job of thinking up the character of Dexter, but the plot is just sometimes just downright unbelievable. Unlike some other reviewers, I enjoyed most of the prose (usually Dexter's inner thoughts/monologues).

The book is essentially Season 1 of the series, although the ending is much different and not plausible.

If you're really into the show, you will probably find the book underwhelming. I would read this book if you are interested in what kinds of things will be plucked for TV/movie adaptation. The details of the plot aren't so important as creating an interesting character/premise.
Long time since I read this one. Unlike some of the other reviewers I started with the books. When TV-Dexter came along, I was disapointed. But, well. The books have these lovely inner monologer, which can of course never works on film. Also, what can be described in writing can often not be shown. Escpecially not someone/some thing like Dexter.
Dexter in the books is very frightening, you really do not want to meet him; you do not want to think about him existing. Except that he is so sympatetic... And, of course, he proves several times on every page how full of feelings he is, and does not want to be, because once he admits that to himself...
TV-Dexter is funny and sort of cute, and so unbelivable. One would never recognize him if name were changed.
I had to keep reading. I wanted to be angry with Dexter, but he explained his situation so well that I found I supported his efforts instead.
Thank goodness this is fiction! Such sick minds don't really exist, do they? Since I had seen the television show, I was somewhat familiar with the idea of a good serial killer. I did not remember the reasoning, though, so I appreciated that information. The characters seemed realistic ... mostly. The evil mind is still difficult for me to understand. And the mystery was challenging for me. But that keeps me reading. Good read, I say!
I bought this book because I am a very big fan of the first four seasons of the TV show. I knew there were some differences so I decided to check it out. I finished this book in a little over twenty four hours. I haven't read a full book in a while (too busy) but I picked this one up and was instantly infatuated with it. This book basically shows the first season of the show. You all remember it. The Ice Truck Killer. The creepy arc that kept you up all night with curiousity. Why was he obsessed with Dexter? Reading this book helped me understand a little bit more. I definitely recommend it. I've already purchased the second one.
