I LOVED LOVED LOVED the first Dexter book. The second was a bit disturbing but still made me laugh out loud more than once. I read both after having seen the TV series on Network. Was really excited about getting this book. Was terribly disappointed. IT was stupid. IT was lame. Sigh. Sorry Jeff Lindsay I really enjoyed the first 2 books. I doubt I will read this one again though. FYI I have the first 2 seasons of the show on DVD and really enjoyed them too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND the series and the first 2 Dexter books. Just not this one.

Im glad to know that i am not the only one who thinks that Jeff Lindsay may have destroyed the whole character of Dexter with this book. He takes Dexter's Dark Passenger, Which could have been easily explaned by his phcycotic mind, or a split personalty (which is what I thought as I read the first two books) and turned it into a a supernatural force from a three thousand year old mythological God.
Jeff Lindsay should have stayed on track along with his first two books. Instead he inserts a sort of science fiction which throws this book way off base. I regret having read this book, because it has distorted my image of Dexter in even the first two books.
I think that if Lindsay wants a good reaction of His fourth book Dexter By Design, he should forget all about the fact he ever wrote this book and get back on track with the first two.

This darkly funny book is the third Dexter book. Written by Jeff Lindsay, it features the serial killer/blood spatter expert Dexter. Dexter finds killers and dispatches them according to the `Harry Code," but this time Dexter is the prey. Somehow he has come to the notice of an evil that makes his Dark Passenger flee in fear. Dexter is alone for the first time in his life, and he doesn't like it.
Add a looming wedding, a tyrannical caterer and his soon-to-be step children who want to learn the ropes of being serial killers from Dexter-and his life is overwhelmingly full. As his life falls apart, Dexter muses about whether this is the lot of all humans. Though he describes himself as an artificial human, in this novel he becomes more and more real, much to his despair.
I found most of the characters interesting, especially the would-be killer children. There were a couple of appearances by Sergeant Doakes that didn't add much to the book unless you are familiar with him and the relationship between Doakes and Dexter from the previous novels. This is the only weakness in Dexter in the Dark -if you haven't read the previous books some of the situations and dialog will leave you in the Dark. I found that the Dark Passenger left so early in the story that I didn't have any idea of what the normal interaction between it and Dexter was, so I didn't really know what he was missing.
So my suggestion is this. Go and read the first two books, then come back and thoroughly enjoy this twisted tale of the likable serial killer named Dexter.
Armchair Interviews agrees: Best read in order in this well-done series.

Oh my god. I won't rehash the plot of this novel. Other reviewers have done it very well. Not only did the stupid idea of a god from pre-history warrant a 0 star rating but there are a few other things that really bothered me that haven't been mentioned.
1. We all know, after reading the first two books, that Miami traffic is horrible. Please STOP mentioning it every time someone gets in a car.
2. Why is Deb employed?? She can't figure anything out on her own. For that matter, why hasn't someone shot her? She is a miserable woman. Lighten up!
3. Why would anyone marry Rita? She went from being an interesting character coming out of an abusive relationship to being a cartoon of a person that embodies every silly "girly" quality one can have. Also, she just lets it drop that her kids almost disembolwed a cat? Nice mom.
4. Why is Doakes alive? Mr. Lindsay, if you read these, please take a cue from the show and kill this guy...He has no hands and no feet and no tongue. What can you possibly do with him except type CLUMP 20+ times in a book.
The Dexter concept was/is great. I am not sure how you can rectify this mess, but you have one more shot from me...and it sounds like quite a number of other fans..

Poorly written, sub-Anne Rice dog turd. Please don't make the mistake of stepping in it.
