Well apparently, Only season 1 is from the books. The other seasons the shows writers took it in their own direction, so it will be nice to read up on some different shit Dexter gets up to etc.

The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters. Cus D'Amato
