Title: Darkly Dreaming Dexter - Dream On.
Review: I fell in love with the Showtime series "Dexter" from the first episode. I was so impressed by the basic concept and Hall's brilliant portrayal of a CSU blood splatter expert being a serial killer - and perhaps the only one with a conscience. I was very happy to learn that the series was adapted from a book rather than directly screen story to screenplay. I rushed out to buy "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" and settled in with anticipation of a great read. I was shocked to find the book devoid of the depth and characterizations found on the program, and that about 90% of the show's plot was the invention of Showtme's screenwriters. This book was so shallow, devoid of action with a plodding empty plot, lacked anything that could grab the reader's imagination - or interest, and had virtually no appeal. SticK with the Showtime series "Dexter" and forget the books in the 'DDD' titled Dexter series. A major disappointment.
