Book Reviews of Dexter in the Dark: A Novel
Book Review: Oh dear...doesn't do Dexter justice Jeff!
Summary: 3 Stars
All I have to say has been said in other reviews, particularly about the author cashing in on the success of the series and previous books, but not really having any idea were to go. Dexter in the Dark changes genres from the first two books with appalling results. As a previous reviewer said, you can't say too much without giving away the plot, but what the author has done has removed all the uniqueness from Dexter, and made him an ordinary person facing an unusual situation. Dexter loses his charm, wit, and character and becomes boring.
I've given three stars because the book was an average supernatural thriller;as one in the Dexter series though it should be given a miss.
I love both the tv series, and the first two books, they compliment each other really well, even though the tv series differs in major plot lines from the books. This third book should be given a miss by anyone who likes the first two books or the series.
Book Review: Really enjoyed this...
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't believe all the bad reviews Dexter in the Dark has got, they nearly put me off of reading it!
So glad I did though. I really enjoyed this book, thought it much better than Dearly Devoted Dexter. I thought the supernatural/historical twist was excellent and has brought something new to the world of Dexter.
Try it for yourself, you may like it.
Can't wait for the next book in the series.
