Lets’ face it you do not read this book for its prose but for the bone chilling thrill of the “hero” being a serial killer. Written in the first person you are stepping in one dark mind. Be warned!


Most people already know that there is a TV Series based upon these books and it does spoil the first book somewhat as the characters are portrayed slightly differently in the TV series to the books. Actors and screen writes are inevitably going to bring something new and different to the characters that Jedd Lindsay wrote. That’s fine but it’s somewhat hard to take when you realise that a character you kinda’ admire and like is a real dumb ass bitch in the original book.

However fortunately you can see by the end of this the first novel that the books and TV series diverge somewhat. So I am determined to continue with this series of book and follow Jeff Lindsay’s serial killer with a small kernel of humanity within.
