Laurenx Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I was just wondering if anyone else has read the Dexter book series? I was also wondering if you have read them, and watched the show too, which you preferred? I've just finished the third book and I have to say that although the book is good, it's definitely one of those rare occasions where I've found that I actually prefer the TV adaptation. Personally, I usually find that the books are better than the films/TV shows so I was suprised to find this with Dexter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLOW99 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hey. I've read one or two of the books. Like the books more than the show. Hate it when they significantly change a story for tv. i guess you would know about the Doakes change? Got some more at home to read and i've only managed to watch seasons 1 and 2. got too much to read and watch :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurenx Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 I usually hate the changes they make to stories too but I thought that they padded up and added a bit more to the storyline, specifically series 1/book 1. I think the series was great, and although book 1 was good I definitely preferred the show. I don't know, maybe it's because I watched the show before I read the books?

Laurenx Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) I usually read the book first, but I honestly hadn't known of the books until I was about half way through season 2 of the show and I friend said "Oh, the books are good too" and I replied stupidly, "what books?!"
