    "Awful Narration"

    I am sorry to say that I have already purchased Dexter Is Delicious. If I had listened to Jeff Lindsay's dreadful narration of this book first, I'd never have purchased another. Mr. Lindsay, I enjoy your writing, but your narration overwhelms your story. At best, it is mediocre. PLEASE let someone else narrate Dexter! I won't buy again unless you do!!!

    "Not Jeff Lindsay best!"

    I love Dexter but this was one of my least favorites. Not enough punch to the plot.

    "Not the best Dexter"

    I love Dexter, both the books and the show. Like the show, this book seems to be running out of inventiveness. Like the show, it is still entertaining. I guess it depends on how careful you are about where you spend your credits. I will still rent the next one because it is still a
    "fun" listen -- but if you are expecting the unexpected, you will be disappointed.

    "Not the best Dexter storey"
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    I like the Dexter TV show and I have listened to all the books. I like them, they are entertaining but this isn't the best of the 5.


    Which character – as performed by Jeff Lindsay – was your favorite?

    Rita...I love...well...she talks...well...oh...lol...I like the way she talks!!!


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    Yes

    "Won't get the next one unless Nick Landrum reads"
    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    I adore mr. lindsay for writing the dexter books... but lets leave the reading to nick landrum. may not have been so bad had he been reading them from the get-go, but nick landrum did such a great job that it's hard to listen to mr. lindsay.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Jeff Lindsay’s performances?

    no.

    "No more authors who read their own work"
    Would you listen to Double Dexter again? Why?

    I cannot tolerate Jeff Lindsay's narration. His characters are amazing and I have loved all of his books, but I can never buy another book narrated by him. His writing is wonderful and his story lines are always fresh. I just find it disturbing the way he interprets his own characters.


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jeff Lindsay?

    I love Nick Landrum. He has the characters down pat. His children's voices are the best. His interpretation of Rita is killer.( oops!)


    Any additional comments?

    Please, bring Nick back into our lives as Dexter. This is one of my favorite all time book series. I love Dexter.

    "I think I like this Dexter better than Showtime's"

    Okay, this (if you can imagine) had this "feel good" feel to it after I was done.

    That being said, the climax part was really UBER cheesy, and really quite "un-Dexter-like." I'd have to say that this one, out of all six, had me feeling the largest range of emotions as I listened to it. Anticipation, fear, happy, relieved, the whole spectrum is there. And I love this Dexter even more now, I think, than Showtime's Dexter. Although it's messing with my head a bit, knowing the series is about to start it's next season, and the relationships (particularly that between Dexter and his sister, Deborah) are so very different between the books and the show.

    I can say that I'm DEFINITELY looking for the next Dexter by Jeff Lindsay now! :)

    "Dexter is human???"

    This wasn't the best of the "Dexter" books - but it wasn't bad. There might have been a few times when Dexter was uncharacteristically oblivious to certain tell-tale signs that he was about to get busted - but, I can see how the author needed some plot twists. Still, they were a bit too obvious. However, overall, it was very entertaining. The audiobook version, which was read by the author himself, was very well done. We're now starting to see a "near-human" side of Dexter, and that is actually sort of refreshing. And I like how the books almost completely diverge from the television show. But, the author is going to have to step it up a bit if he hopes to stay a edgy and clever as the show! Gauntlet down!

    "Endless filler"
    Would you try another book from Jeff Lindsay and/or Jeff Lindsay?

    Yes - only because i feel i should read all of the Dexter books


    What did you like best about this story?

    I dont think there was any part that i really liked. i liked it overall.


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jeff Lindsay?

    I would like the original narrator to be cast again


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    I watch the television show. so yes i guess


    Any additional comments?

    I feel like Dexter has been making really dumb choices and he should be smarter then that. also he seems to not notice really important facts that should be obvious to his character. its like his character is not always consistent. He is suppose to be smart but he isn't at the same time. Also the part when Dexter is staring at himself in the mirror! OMG that drug on forever. Everyone who had a hand in producing this book needs to listen to that part and make sure that doesn't happen again. I had to speed up the narrator speed to get through it. it was bad. the book started that way too but oh well.
