It started a little slow, but ended up being just like the show- great. It was fun to imagine it being acted out. If you love the show you will like this book

Just like reading an episode of the show!

The plot of this novel was fascinating. I loved (and feared) the idea of a serial killer copy catting other serial killers, and the problem of finding out who he was going to copy next kept the story moving smoothly. I also was impressed by the fact that (and it's sad to put it this way) it wasn't just the 'same ol' serial killers over and over again. I even learned about a couple I've never heard of before.

The characters themselves though were bland I thought. The characters from the show were, not quite spot on. There were similarities but the dialog seemed strained, as if the author was trying very hard to make them sound like they would in the show, but just...missing it.

Unless you're a hardcore fan who this would bother greatly, it doesn't take away from the book too much. I really enjoyed this and look forward to the next one in November.

Initially had a hard time following as it resembled a TV episode but once it started referencing that episode it moved quickly.
