Darkly Dreaming Dexter

Just finished Darkly Dreaming Dexter, and aside from the "gimmick" (a first person narrative told from the perspective of a robin-hood-like serial killer), it sorta left me flat.

The writing was ok, and Dexter was "full" enough as a character to make me curious to know more - but the end was unsatisfying and predictable from very early in the story. Not an "avoid at all costs" but neither a "rush out and read the sequel."
