So, while we get decent descriptions of the main cast, it’s a little difficult actually understanding them. A lot of the human emotions and motivations that the other characters display don’t make a whole lot of sense to Dexter, who sees himself as a superior breed of being. The interesting thing about hearing about characters from Dexter’s point of view is that Dexter is a sociopath. I’m actually interested to see how far they diverge in plotlines. In an interesting twist, the show and the books ended up being simultaneously written after about the 3rd season, with the last book being published about 2 years after the show’s conclusion. So, of course, certain scenes in the book felt like deja vu, as the book covers the first season of the show. My husband is currently watching the entire series for the second time because it popped back on Netflix. I watched the series first, at least the first few seasons. (That’s pretty typical though, isn’t it?) If you pick up the book series after watching the television series, be prepared for a few changes. It spanned 8 books, that were being published just slightly ahead of the television series (at least until that last book). Originally published in 2004, Darkly Dreaming Dexter was the first of the Dexter series. Continuing in the Southeast United States, I picked the book based in Florida.
