So I think I found someone who even Henry Lee could never be able to prove guilty with forensic evidence. His name is Dexter Morgan. One major reason why is because Dexter Morgan is not real but rather the creation of author, Jeff Lindsay. During my down-time that I try to get on the road, I picked up the book, Darkly Dreaming Dexter. Dexter is a person who lives two different lives; one is an emotionless blood-splatter-pattern-analyst and the other a serial killer. Dexter is a different type of serial killer though. He is sort of like the Robin Hood of serial killers where he only kills people who hurt others. The character is a very intelligent, quick-witted person who is quite comical at times. Darkly Dreaming Dexter is a great read if you are into crime thrillers. I just finished reading it and I just started to read the next installment by Jeff Lindsay, entitled Dearly Devoted Dexter. There are three of these books out right now with a fourth book on the way.
The success of the books has spawned a television show on Showtime called Dexter, starring Michael C. Hall as beloved blood-splatter-pattern-analyst/serial killer. The show is in its third season but I have yet to watch any episode of the television show. I’m waiting until I am done with the book before I watch the show. I think I’ll but the first two seasons on dvd over the Christmas break. Definitely read the books though. Jeff Lindsay does a great job with motifs. Motifs are one of my favorite literary devices because they make you think what the author is trying to convey. In case, you don’t know what a motif is, I’ll explain. Motifs are recurring literary devices that can help to develop and inform the text’s major themes. A motif can be an idea, object or place.
Well I’m going to get back to reading the second book.
