Hot dog! I’ve gotten hooked on the show since my hubby said, “You’ve got to watch this!” I love the show. Some of the comments in his mind are funny.

I just put the book on hold at the library so was thrilled to see your review.

okay, Ferfe, that’s inspirational. I could see putting Dexter in any number of novels. . .

Maybe he will kill Anita next?

Sweetie, he’ll only kill Anita if she’s a killer and rapist herself… and a serial one at that. What am I even talking about? Anita killed my soul and raped my fragile mind a long time ago. Dexter needs to fly to Saint Louis and kill the bitch, for realz.

How fun would an Edward/Dexter crossover fanfic be? Get to work, bitches!

Hey Bam,

I love the show and the books. Both are great. I can’t for the newest one which will be out next year. I hope they try to stay as close to the books as they can for the tv show.

You are the second or third person to read this book and review it. I need to read it. NEXT. Thanks for the review.

I watched the two free episodes (we don’t get Showtime) and the whole killing thing was so solemn and he didn’t seem to be interested in killing, the one thing that he lurved. I mean jeepers, it was like a job. Is it like that in the book?

I say if you’re going to be dark, why not be REALLY dark and funny. Why not get creative? The guy who hit people with his car–run him over. Put the guy who did snuff films in some kind of kinky costume with a hood. For your own fun, of course. I like the “Slice of Life” boat to dump the parts.

Yeah, okay, I can see that watching him have fun while murdering is just like making rape scenes in a book sexy scenes, very definitely squick material. But if it’s over-the-top enough, it’ll be ummmm funny for the sick people in the crowd.

Now it’s just like a regular cop show with a twist and we’re supposed to somehow think of him as almost 100 percent hero material.

I did like the answering the phone scene when he was covered with blood. “Just finishing up a chore.”

I read DDD after watching the pilot episode online( stopped getting Showtime after Dead Like Me and Queer as Folk went off the air)and devoured that bad boy within a weekend. Lindsey is one hell of a writer and true,the killer’s identity is over the topish but it fits into the whole framework that Lindsey set up so well that it completes the story perfectly.

Agree about Bret Easton Ellis-I tried to read American Psycho once and was just bored and disgusted(this from a gal who has no trouble with Clive Barker novels). The movie was way better and smarter,plus Christian Bale in crazy mode,oh yeah:)

I seriously want to read this now. Kind of already had me at the title (I’m a sucker for good alliteration) but you’re review totally tipped it over into *MustHaveItNow!*.
