Having watched the tv series of the same name, I was probably more enthused to read this book than I should have been. A more useful outlook would have been a clean slate, but unfortunately the book was measured against Michael C Hall's performance, which is utterly unfair.
Having said that, I did enjoy this book, but the main character is not nearly as charismatic as Hall and the writing is nowhere near as sharp. I feel somewhat ashamed in admitting this stance, since I'm usually the one looking down my nose and people who watch the movie before reading the book, but this is one of the rare cases in which the tv show exceeds the source material.
