It's weird that it happened that way but yep I am glad to confirm that I wasn't the only one that preferred the show to the books.

They're also easiest for me to write. If I hated a book (or even just really hated certain things about it even if I liked it overall), I feel like I can write a much more thorough review. <br /><br />I want to read the Dexter series eventually, though it's not at the top of my list right now. One of my friends is reading it now, and he said that most things are different from the show after the first book. (And, if I remember correctly, I think he said the first book ends completely differently as well even though the rest of it is pretty much just like the show.)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757174923718324262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-66104627021508486182016-08-09T16:43:47.585-05:002016-08-09T16:43:47.585-05:00Waiting for books in a series is so hard!

(I also have more than enough podcasts to listen to while cleaning or showering or whatever), but I'm excited for my first credit to come back this month.

I tried an episode once and wasn't sucked in.<br /><br />I haven't read any of these but I'm half tempted to read After I Do just to see how bad it is, haha.Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394336849612797834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-49906549608385697732016-08-09T12:03:01.901-05:002016-08-09T12:03:01.901-05:00I too found that I didn't enjoy the Dexter boo...I too found that I didn't enjoy the Dexter books (only read half of the first one, like you) despite loving the show.

I'm currently listening to After I Do (about 25% done) and I agree, the premise is so dumb - who would agree to an entire year of not talking or trying to work things out? So it's frustrating, but I like the narrator TJR uses and it keeps my attention during my commute - at least there's that.

While the premise is weird and a bit strange with the emails, if you suspend reality and don't go into the book thinking you're going to get something that people actually do but rather wish they could do, it becomes a much more enjoyable read. Plus she's a great writer.
