Oh, Dexter how I love thee!

There is something about the serial killer with morals that just makes you feel sorry for him, and love him. Laugh at his take on the outside world.
When I first started watching the series I was extremely hooked. Even with my lack of interest in blood the entire plot grabbed me. His outsider persona enticed me. After seeing that the show was based off a book. I quickly made it a point to read the book, and I did.
Generally, after reading a book, the movie pails in comparison. With Dexter though I watched first so reading the story. I was able to note the differences and realize that I love both equally. Each was its own story with the same characters. It reminded me very much of a "choose your own story" book that you would read as a child. "...if you want him to do this go to page _" and so forth.
The small differences in the physical aspects of the people were nothing as to the confusion Dexter had within himself, wondering if he were truly the murderer. His sister suspecting him of the murder, and LaGuerta being murdered
I didn't know what I expected when I decided to read the novel, but I do know I got so much more. It is definitely on my top 10 must read lists
I absolutely love living in a fantasy world
