Dearly Devoted Dexter (this guy is really getting the hang of writing)
Dexter in the Dark (holy frickin god!!!!!!!)


The show and the books do NOT really match up so any watching or reading will have little spoilers for each other. They are two separate monsters and both should be loved!
How long are the books on average? I might actually pick up a book.

200-300 pages with large margins. You can easily read a chapter per poop and trust me, I HATE reading, but this stuff is just that good! The first two are on paperback. By the time you read those, the last one should also be on peperback.

Enjoy!

Hmm this is tempting. I have had a good run on not reading books for about 3 years now.

I can't believe they are only 300ish papges with the amount of detail in the show is about 600 minutes of viewing so about 10 hours. I could read a book in that amount of time and usually the show/movie of a book has a lot less detail. Might stop by the library and look for these books, see what they look like.


On a side note I am halfway through season 2 and it just as good as the first.

I also wonder, if there are only 3 books will they stop after the third season?

I knew that was going to happen just like I knew that season 1 was all about Dexters brother. I liked Doxs but he got his nose in something that it shouldn't of been in. I will miss him in season 3.

**Thread rescued from the Bay Harbor**

Anyone watching season three?

I have to admit that it isn't as good as the first two but it's starting to shape up into something with dark possibilities.

BTW......Miguel is the "skinner" :)
