My Book Review

As you can tell from my last post, I do not read books that often. It takes a lot for me to actually get into a book. One of my favorite tv shows is Dexter. I have seen all the seasons and wondered where they got this idea from. So when I googled it, I figured out it was from a book series by Jeff Lindsay. With loving the tv series, I decided to give the books a try. When I started the first book I was a bit scared it was going to be different from the show. I soon realized it is almost identical! The tv show did a great job in making it just like the book. Don't get me wrong, there were a couple things that weren't the same but for the most part it was all alike. The book was also very interesting. With already watching the show, I kind of knew what to expect but the book showed a different perspective. I also enjoyed how the book tends to give a little bit more of a background than the show reveals. Although I enjoyed the book, it also has a negative side to it. For instance the show gets to actually show you everything for your own eyes instead of painting the picture for you. At times it seemed to drag on somethings that did not seem important to me. It could have just came out and said what it meant. Overall I really liked this book and would recommend both the book and TV series of Dexter.
