Dearly Devoted Dexter

While this book was engaging, it was only because of Dexter's entertaining callousness and intriguing personality. Unlike the first book, Dexter is not heavily invested in the mystery of this story, and as a result neither is the reader, even though its still an amusing perspective to read from. Not a complete waste of time, because there are still some great moments and lines, but not a great book by any means and not as good as the first one.
