He's got issues, real issues, in Darkly Dreaming Dexter

Date of Review:  Aug 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: A truly sinister tale of a serial killer with his own unique morality. What's scary is that you like him.
Review: After reading and hearing some rave reviews about Showtime's series Dexter, and seeing bits and pieces of the series on commerical television, I knew I had to get back to the source -- author Jeff Lindsay's novels about Dexter Morgan, your average,...

Fun and Games with a murderer ?.. of murderers

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: Charming and very funny. I had a ball reading this one.
Review: When I tell people that I've been reading a series of books about a serial murderer, they usually give me a certain look. It's basically a frown with a furrowed brow, and they quickly change the subject.

"No, you don't understand!", I...

Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2005
The Bottom Line: A psychological thriller with a difference, this one told completely from the perspective of the killer.
Review: As the name of the book suggests, Darkly Dreaming Dexter is a disturbing story that delves deeply into the mind of a killer, namely Dexter Morgan. Alternately macabre and wryly amusing, Jeff Lindsay's debut novel is a thriller that puts us in touch...

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: You've never read a thriller like this before.
Review: *Darkly Dreaming Dexter, $22.95, deftly documented by *Jeff Lindsay -- is the best hardback I've read this year! In fact, I think it's the best debut book I've read since 1985, when I found Jonathan Kellerman's *When The Bough Breaks upon the...

DELVING DEEPLY INTO DEXTER'S DISTURBED ID

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: Dexter Morgan is a unique character in literature and his story is fascinating.
Review: I "discovered" Jeff Lindsay's "Dexter" series very recently. I first heard a nice NPR review of the Showtime series now being shown in a slightly sanitized version on CBS. After watching each episode this past several weeks, I decided to go to the...

Darkly Dreaming Or Delusional - Dexter Is Our Monster

Date of Review:  May 25, 2008
The Bottom Line: Is the next wave of popular culture getting more bizarre, or simply oozing from the mind of a more open, talented and entertaining lot?
Review: Far be it for me to side with the serial-killing criminal element of any stripe. The Devil only knows the extent of such horrors that occur throughout the world. Here in the crumbling Bay State, "home of the bean and the cod", we host our own...

Devastatingly Dexter

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2008
The Bottom Line: Although the basic nature of the book is graphic, the author doesn't go overboard with gore. This is a most engaging read.
Review: I spent some of my birthday money to pick up a couple of Dexter books. I've enjoyed the series on Showtime and ordered this book without reading very much about it.

Now I'm glad that I didn't read much about it. I probably wouldn't have...

Darkly Dreaming Dexter is a serial killer who kills serial killers

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2007
The Bottom Line: For a debut novel, this is a great book. It has already spawned a sequel book and a Showtime series.
Review: Jeff Lindsay's Darkly Dreaming Dexter (2001) is a very twisted story about a serial killer who happens to be a forensic scientist with the Miami Police Department. This novel was the inspiration for the series Dexter which currently airs on...

Drastically Dumbed-Down Dexter

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line lives by its own code, but it's basically just Morse code.
Review: As a devoted but non-cable-TV-having fan of the Showtime series “Dexter,” I’m currently experiencing a severe Dexter drought.  Season 3 is just finishing up, but I haven’t seen any of it, nor will I until it’s available on DVD.  In the meantime, I...

Short and sharp review, just like the book!

Date of Review:  Jan 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: An excellent alternative to the long windedness of a Koontz or King.
Review: Darkly Dreaming Dexter is my favourite kind of book...a free one! Received as a mystery gift from a book club I approached this crime/thriller with some trepidation. It was by Jeff Lindsay, a new author I had never heard of in a genre I find rarely...
