Helpful Score: 2

The first thing I noticed about the book is that the writing style is simplistic. It's as if one is reading straight out of somebody's diary or somebody telling a story aloud. -It lent itself very well for the audiobook- Normally narration like this would have stopped me from finishing, but since this same narration is in the show, it helped having his voice narrate in my head.

Some of the events are a little different from the show, which was great because I don't like rereading something I've already watched. The characters are alive, each with a personality. Somebody as objective as Dexter gives a different opinion than one normally gets in a book. He's very matter-of-fact about things. I loved it!

I'm looking forward to the next book.
