dexter moments?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm just chiming in with another recommendation for the books. I like the show, though I haven't seen many episodes, but the books are on an entirely different level of enjoyability. They're quick reads, and I found it much easier to immerse myself in the print story rather than the television one.

I also preferred the way Cody and Aster are depicted in the book. They seem much deeper and more developed, I think. Without giving too much away, I found Dexter himself slightly more interesting in the books than he is in the show. It's subtle, but I think he and his Dark Passgenger come across differently.

In the interest of full disclosure, I almost always like the book version of a story better than the accompanying movie or television show. Give the books a try, though; I think they're quite good.

I almost always like the books better too - whether it's a movie or tv. They always give you more levels of the character that can't come across in the movie.

Thanks for your recommendation!

THANK YOU for the book recommendations!!

I got the 4 and have finished 2 of them, into the 3rd. BOY these are fun. They really are helping tremendously with Dexter withdrawal!!

NO SPOILERS - they're different enough to be really interesting, sort of like finding some secret unaired episodes of the show to watch!


Thanks again for the prodding - I'm so glad I got them!

Please remember that the TV series is BASED UPON the books, they are not an exact replica. I am writing this so people do not get upset when they read or watch the other thing.
