Darkly Dreaming Dexter - Jeff Lindsay
Finally started Darkly Dreaming Dexter of the Dexter series. Liking it so far.
23. Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay
The book that the popular TV series Dexter is based on. I am a huge fan of the show and now the books. The novel describes Dexter, a serial killer, who follows a code to kill only those who "deserve" it. It is hard to believe that a serial ...
Glad to see your opinion on Darkly Dreaming Dexter , Wolfy. I've also been rather darkly fascinated by the TV show, and have wondered whether I should read the books, though I've felt little inclination to do so.
Having read Darkly Dreaming Dexter I decided to stay in Miami with the next in the series, Dearly Devoted Dexter. I thought that I might as well finish off the omnibus edition before moving on to pastures new.
My brother sent me Darkly Dreaming Dexter and therefore got me hooked on the show. It was fun coming from the other direction and seeing how they used the book in plotting the series. I do like LaGuerta much better in the television version!
... one of the few tv shows that I've been following so I've now got round to buying the first 3 books in an omnibus edition. Darkly Dreaming Dexter is the first in the series and the basic plot is pretty much the same as the show. I think it's difficult for me to be objective about the book but I ...

With the show about to start its 4th season I've started on the first of the Dexter books, Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay. I have the the omnibus edition of the opening 3 books of the series but not yet sure if I'll continue straight onto book 2 or go onto something else.

How graphic was Darkly Dreaming Dexter ? One of my friends and I watch the TV show, and he wants me to read the books. I like the show, but I can't watch or listen when the killings are taking place!
Darkly Dreaming Dexter was a lot of fun. I loved the strong Miami setting, and learned about things like medianoche sandwiches because of reading it.
I had watched the second season of the TV show, so it did slightly 'spoil' the cliff hanger as to who was Dexter's rival, but I'd still ...

Wow, I have not been reading much lately. Been way too busy with Finals, assignments etc.
... believe how bad the Dexter books are. And that's not even comparing them to the TV show. Those writers are brilliant. Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay and all the others, are so poorly written and imaged. And the same goes for the books they based the show Bones on.
Dexter by Design, Jeff Lindsay - I read the first book in the series and though it was violent it worked in the context and it did't really bother me, but I gave up on this one after the first chapter. It wasn't so much the gore as the weird psychological stuff that was going on. All I can say ...

It does sound a little like Jeff Povey cobbled together some ideas from Dexter and The Sandman, but it doesn't look like an out and out swipe. I think I may pick it up.
Has anyone read Heartsick? I'm thinking of starting that once I ...
I'll finish the Time Paradox tonight and maybe start Dark Fire. Started listening to Darkly Dreaming Dexter this morning on my commute.
... and the characters more likeable in the movie. I can't believe that I would argue a film is better than the movie.
Darkly Dreaming Dexter I believe is a tv show also. This is the masculine thriller type chick lit, and it says something, I'm not sure what, that I finished it this morning ...
... Good biographical fiction.
I really enjoyed Salman Rushdie's latest book, The Enchantress of Florence and for fun, Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay. Delivered from Distraction by Edward M. Hallowell was very helpful to me.

I read the first two Dexters, Darkly Dreaming Dexter and Dearly Devoted Dexter, and just adored them.
Because I've been studying a lot about serial killers the past year for my own writing, I find ...
#3 - I like your idea.
BTW, Darkly Dreaming Dexter is probably the only one from this board so far that I could have guessed correctly! I would have had a good run at #130 but might have guessed it as The Big Over Easy, as well as #144 but would have guessed one of the Dark Tower series.
I just finished The Treatment by Mo Hayder and am now reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay.
... seems more than legit to me - heck, my Absolute Sandman right now is a 2-volume series with only 4 planned publications. Darkly Dreaming Dexter and Dexter were only two books until last September. Or is 3 too few?

TA, I got Darkly Dreaming Dexter for my hubby's stocking as he's been such a big fan of the tv show - totally hooked.
Have a wonderful day.
In order:

I quit the Dexter series midway through the first book because Lindsay's description of the inner workings of a psychopath were so real-seeming. I just felt this growing discomfort as I went along and finally had enough.

#198 Oh GOD! Dexter broke my heart. The last episode, when he's looking at Deb and has to make that massive decision (I'm trying not to spoil it) and he expresses emotion? Cried.
I also recently LOST it over the newest episode of Ugly Betty. I called my mom up, because she was watching too, ...

FINALLY finished American Gods which was disappointing, but decent.
Next one is Darkly Dreaming Dexter , because the show kicks ass. Also, I can't seem to follow my own reading list, and have given up.

#16 - Owlie, I too enjoyed Darkly Dreaming Dexter , and also his second Dearly Devoted Dexter. Who could imagine that a serial killer hero could be so compelling?
Currently reading S is for Silence by Sue Grafton. Just finished Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay. Thought it was quite good.
I just finished reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter which I enjoyed, but if you watched the Showtime show, it's pretty much the same thing... And I actually liked the show better. (Sacrilege!)

How about Jeff Lindsay's Dexter serial killer mysteries, set in Miami/Dade County and environs? Some might consider them horror or thrillers, but they really are at heart mysteries.

I have to say that Jeff Lindsay isn't much of a writer but james manos jr. did an excellent job in adapting the Dexter series for television. terrific actors, a great script and a camera work to die for!

Ooh, I am! It wasn't in the library when I picked up Darkly Dreaming Dexter , but it got returned today. I'm going to read it because I like Dexter as a character, and the tone of Darkly Dreaming was fun. Plus the book was adapted to the TV series really well, which although that doesn't ...
I have just finished Darkly Dreaming Dexter. I thought the book was awsome. I was just curious about how many more people would continue on the series and read Dearly Devoted Dexter. Let me know if you are. If you are why are you continuing?
Just finished Darkly Dreaming Dexter , which I thought was fun but others may not like, and started The Cat Who Walks Through Walls.
How about books made into TV shows? I recently read Darkly Dreaming Dexter (which I loved) and the series "Dexter" starts this Sunday on Showtime. Dexter was such a fun character that I can't wait to see it.
My favorite thing about Darkly Dreaming Dexter was Harry - I loved the idea that his foster father recognized him for what he was and tried to find a way to channel it, especially since Harry was a cop.
Re Message 59:
Hi, LisaLynne ~ Darkly Dreaming Dexter is one of my all-time favorite mysteries. I also relished Dearly Devoted Dexter, the second book in what I hope and pray will be an ongoing series. For some macabre reason that I don't want to look at too closely, I'm simply enchanted ...
