Favorite Book of Summer: Darkly Dreaming Dexter

Darkly Dreaming Dexter is the story of a man named Dexter Morgan, a man who is a serial killer. Already the book may be turning you off, but read one page and you'll discover that as dark as the book is, it's still really enjoyable because of it's main character. Dexter is one of the most sharply drawn portraits of any character i've ever read about. He's nuts, but he's also hilarious. He's evil, but you don't have to worry because he only kills murderers. The smaller characters in the book don't matter because Dexter is the master of ceremonies and his character alone will keep your eyes glued to the text for hours and hours. Even though the ending falls flat, it won't matter because in Darkly Dreaming Dexter it's not the catch that matters; it's the chase.
