Title: Dexter: Charming the Life Out of His Victims
Review: I got sucked into watching all the Dexter seasons (now following the fourth season on Showtime) in the last few months and I needed more Dexter once I was done, so I picked this book up at the local Target for $5. There are of course many similarities to the show, but the books do a much better job at really capturing Dexter's personality and inner thoughts. Things that were subtly hinted at in the show come into much sharper focus in the book (such as LaGuerta's apparent crush on Dexter and his obvious discomfort), and the reader gains more insight into how Dexter ticks. The most enjoyable part of this book is that Dexter's wonderfully macabre sense of humor really gets a chance to shine. The plot doesn't run parallel to the show by any means, so it's more like an alternate adventure for Dexter. If you love the show and you love sarcastic wit, you will love this book.
