glitch25So I've been reading my way through the Dexter series of books by Jeff Lindsay. I have generally enjoyed them just as much as the Showtime series. I also appreciate that with the exception of Season 1, the series has diverged significantly from the books. This has kept reading the books fresh and interesting. Several interesting plot lines have emerged in the books.
In this book, the latest in the series, Dexter and Deborah are hunting a group of cannibals who are taking victims for lunch. Another aspect is Dexter's struggle to be normal and fatherly, and his desire to turn his back on his darker self. The book ends with Dexter realizing that his Dark Passenger is a necessary part of him, and to deny it jeopardizes his life and those he loves.
Overall, not bad. I do enjoy Lindsay's writing. This one, however, seemed a little detached. Just didn't seem to have the thrill of the others. It will be interesting to see what the next one looks like.
