I'm in the middle of reading the first Dexter book, too, the one the shows are based off of. I think that even though the book came first, the show kind of ruined it for me. I've already got the characters pictured in my head, and so on. And now I can't say "Oh, they were really true to the book." I've heard that later in the series the book and the tv show diverge almost completely.
