Jeff Lindsay - Darkly Dreaming Dexter

 

After totally falling in love with the TV series I thought I'd give the book a go. :)

 

I've just read this and "Dearly Devoted Dexter", the next one in the series, and, although there are minor changes from the book to the series, (eg one character, who features prominently in all five series of the show so far, is killed off in book 1. I won't spoiler, and say who. You'll have to read for yourself to know! lol) I really enjoyed reading them.

I love the way he killed them off, it was a surprise right up to the end. A great book, I enjoyed reading it as well. I don't have the time to do much reading but I finished this one very quickly! I'm already on chapter 19 of the next one - Dearly Devoted Dexter, which is stacking up to possibly be even better than the first one.

House of leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. I'm finding this really good, though admittedly there's a long way to go yet. Opinion on Amazon seems to be about equally divided between it being totally brilliant or too far up its own bottom in cleverness, but so far I'm leaning towards the former.

Madeleine - Kate McCann. Hardback, £8.00 on offer from Sainsburys, Archer Road, with proceeds going to the Find Madeleine Fund.

 

It's compelling, terrifying, vexing, frustrating, and truly deeply sad, but there is hope to be found in the pages. God Bless you, Madeleine.xxx
