I've read all the books.. and I LOVE the show.. I bought the first season on DVD even tho, I'd already watched it. Now I don't have Showtime so I've missed the whole second season except for the first episode I think.

The Dexter from the books was a little different at first, but I read that the author changed the Dexter in the books to be a little more like the Dexter on the show. I think they're both great. I really wish they'd have done the serial killer from the second novel... that was the crazy doctor guy right? or was that the third one? I always get sequels messed up.
