Anyone Read the Dexter Books?

I LOVE Dexter (the show) and I know it's based on books so I was wondering how the books were and if they were consistent with the show. Anyone know? TIA!!

I haven't read them, though they're on my "to-do" list. I've been told that the first book is almost exactly the same as the first season and they branch off from there though they still coincide with the books *sometimes*- kinda like True Blood and the Charlaine Harris books if you've read them/watched the series. HTH!

Thanks!

I started reading the Sookie books but only read the first 3 because I don't want to get ahead of the show. I LOVE the show and although the books are somewhat different, I don't want to know any of what *might* happen on the show. I didn't love the books I read though...Harris' writing style kinda annoys me. Maybe I'll try the Dexter books. Thanks again!

The first book int he series has the same premise, but it's not identical to the show. All the novels are totally different from the show. That's why I love them! I don't feel like I'm reading the same thing I just watched on tv.
