review 1: I am a big fan of this series of books and a big fan of Dexter, so it's hard not to like a book. The only slightly down-side to this one is that pretty much all philosophical discussions surrounding Dexter are ethical ones, and this isn't the case with most books in the series. The most interesting essays for me, were the last few that dealt with the issue of why we cheer for Dexter, and is it okay to do so.
review 2: Somewhat interesting collection of philosophical essays addressing our fascination and love for this television series featuring a serial killer, Dexter Morgan, as the central figure. Why do we like Dexter? Why do we want him to not get caught? How does he draw us in to see all of who Dexter is and understand, perhaps condone, his addiction to k... moreilling. Of course Harry's "code" adds an element of reason we can live with and sometimes cheer him on.A few of the entries were well done and thought provoking. Some were more of the same, and some I felt were not particularly interesting. less
