-I'm so glad I read this post because I LOVE the series and
have been wondering for some time if the books were any good.
It's ironic really; my first impression would have been that
the books could have dug deeper into the dark and twisted,
but I'm learning that the hardboiled noir crowd tends to be
very conservitive with what it considers appropiate genre
boundaries, i.e. most of the "noir" books I've read recently
have been very formula and kind of boring because of it. This
used to be the case with T.V., which now investigates
characters more than what I see in genre books, and goes off
in such strange, exciting directions. T.V. is definitely on
the vanguard. Haven't seen the second season of Dextor -
waiting for the DVDs to come out so that, like a junkie, I
can hole up in my living room and do them all in one
weekend!
