review 1: Book four of the Dexter series does not follow the path of book three, in which there is an almost supernatural element involved with the Dark Passenger backstory. With book four we’re back to basics, with Dexter doing what he does best. Whilst it isn’t the best of the Dexter books it is another gripping read filled with the usual lovable Dexter moments (his wit in particular keeping you smiling throughout).Filled with the characters we have come to know and love (or possibly hate, in some cases), we follow Dexter throughout more troublesome times. As it has already been said, this isn’t the best of the Dexter books but it is needed if you plan to continue reading through the series. The ending in particular is important, leaving us ready and waiting for the next boo... morek in the series.If you’re a big Dexter fan do not stop here, I promise it does keep getting better!
review 2: The plot and themes in this one are probably my favorite out of the series so far. I like that this one focused more on Dexter's complicated relationship with his sister and his conflicting emotions concerning "Harry's Code." The mentor aspect toward Rita's kids is also interesting. The last book wasn't all that appealing to me. This one kept my attention for the most part, though it tended to drag toward the end. And maybe it's just me, but it seemed like the writing wasn't as good as in the first two books. I also kept stumbling upon typos.Now that I have finished the TV series, I am intrigued on how the book series will end.Not my favorite out of the series due to the writing and the slow ending, but probably my second. less

Another fun, quick read in this series. However, I'm still sure I like the show better.

Better than the last two, but not as good as the first. Dexter is loosing his touch.

Enjoyable, but a little slower to read than number 3. Still worth reading.
