Me, too. Despite loving Dexter, the books, especially the ends of the books, are far too abrupt. After watching the show, the books are just average. The show is so much more in-depth, they turn a 300-page book into 13 hours of television. And I can tell you that the ending is different!

OOH! I cannot wait to watch the show then! I don't think I am going to read the other books unless I can find them in the library

If you have Comcast cable you can watch all of the episodes On Demand.

**nods in agreement***
It is like they have run out of material
or are bored with it all and want it to just
end!!!!
I tried reading a novel recently and struggled with the first 60 pages (it was 300)......
>:-(
I figured if the first 60 were that hard, then
it probably was going nowhere.....
Returned it to the library.
Life is too short for boring books/films...

I totally agree!

Have you read the book The Pursuit of Happyness by Chris Gardner?

I actually loved Darkly Dreaming Dexter, even if the end was a little strange. Hell, the whole book was a little strange. lol.

I got Dearly Devoted Dexter for Christmas and can't wait to read it. Have to finish Flags of our Fathers first though.

Just thinking since its a new year...

You should tag these by ratings, like A book, B book, etc so I can look for recommendations later. :)

Ok! I will do that now! Thanks! :)
