i don't normally bother pointing out little things like this.. but this particular one is way off the mark: ice truck killer.... not icepick.. he didn't kill anybody with an icepick... big difference there. |

uh, yeah, sure, that's what i meant, it's short for ice pick-up truck killer. if we're going to be ferreting out every small error, technically he didn't kill anyone with an ice truck either otherwise he'd be up for dangerous driving charges. should really be called the upside-down-slit-your-throat-and- chop-you-up killer. i think icepick is far more pithy. but your right, i was way off the mark, corporal penance shall be required. |

i downloaded an html version of both books recently (as well as audiobook versions) and just finished the first and am about half way through the second. i have to say the show develops the characters much more than the book, but overall the book follows the same story arc as the show. trying not to spoil for anyone who wants to read it, i can say that the twist is a little different and someone dies in the book who doesn't in the show. |

almost done with the first one, and right off the bat i can tell you that there are some differences you have to get over (mainly nitpicky details and minor character changes that would only bother someone who thinks the show and book should be the same). some characters are more fleshed out in the show which, since it is character driven, means i like it more--something you have to expect when expanding a book that has taken me about 3 hours to read into a show that\'s almost 13 hours. on the other hand, the action and scenery are more visceral than they are in the show. i like the way things are described in such rich detail, and how you get a feeling that the city of miami is almost a character in its own right (something i think tptb on the show were trying for, but never quite achieved). at any rate, the writer is funny as hell without even trying to be. not that the book is supposed to be funny--just that some of his phrasing jumps off the page at you, and is laugh out loud funny. imho, reading the book is well worth the time spent if you really like dexter. |
