Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Miami blood spatter specialist Dexter Morgan is not your average monster. He occasionally gives in to the impulse to kill in order to satisfy the Dark Passenger inside his brain, but he's much more well-adjusted than the label "serial killer" implies. He has a girlfriend, a sense of humor and, thanks to the loving tutelage of his cop foster father, he dismembers only other serial killers. But his self-control is sorely tested when he agrees to help his sister, a vice cop, solve a string of murders so bizarre, and yet so familiar, that he seriously starts to wonder if he is committing them in his sleep. Voiceover artist Landrum does a superb job conveying Dexter's witty first-person narration; he seems to embody "quirky, funny, happy-go-lucky, dead-inside Dexter." With his nimble vocal chords, he also has no trouble giving voice to the story's female characters and affecting an authentic-sounding Cuban accent for the incompetent homicide detective assigned to the case. Perhaps Landrum's finest feat, however, is the chill-inducing voice he adopts for Dexter's Dark Passenger, which underscores Dexter's transformations from charming neighborhood killer into inhuman predator. Refreshingly original and expertly narrated, this audiobook should be required listening for all thriller aficionados.

From AudioFile

Think that a sympathetic serial killer (he only kills other serial killers) is too big a stretch? Think again--this book is gruesome but amazingly entertaining, tightly plotted, with keen character-izations and a great deal of wit. And it may well be even more effective in the ear than on the page, since Nick Landrum gives smooth, handsome, polite, deranged Dexter Morgan a really charming, disarming voice--just what your damaged, murderous, but other-wise pure-hearted hero needs to keep you hooked. Dexter's foster sister, a cop who longs to make detective, his girlfriend (who has no idea what she's dealing with in Dexter), and a wide range of other high- and lowlifes are equally winning. It's quite a trip. B.G. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected!, Feb 24 2007
By M. Vignaux - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Paperback)
I saw the first season of the TV show and wanted to read the book. I was afraid that I either would not like the book or realize that the TV show was a cheap imitation. I was pleasantly suprised to see that I loved the book. Also, the TV show deviates enough from the book to make both entertaining.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stop Comparing The Book To The Show, Jan 17 2009
By S. Nielsen "Book Nerd" (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Paperback)
Considering that the television series Dexter was loosely based on the book I don't know why people are so critical on this book. The book came first not the show! I saw the first 3 seasons of the show first before reading the book and was pleasantly surprised to find not only was the book quite different, but darker and gets more so over the following sequels. It's hard not to have preformed opinions on the book having seen the show first, but this novel is definitely a new fresh take on the tired old serial killer novel. The books are a really entertaining, often humorous and I've grown attached to the characters in the novels. Can't wait to read the fourth novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, Oct 20 2008
By D. Nowlin "Andrea N." - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Paperback)
I had seen two seasons of Dexter on TV before picking up this first book. I was interested in seeing if the book was just as good, and in my opinion it is. The writing style got me into the characters (who remind me of the characters in the episodes) and I like the fact that the storyline is not the same as in the series, so it was not that predictable. I loved this from beginning to end. I have never read about a character so interesting and different as Dexter... I have also read the second book and in my opinion it is just as good as this first book.
