Once again Dexter thinks he found another serial killer who can "understand him" and love him the way he is. The love stories were atrociously bad and cliche'. It lacked focus, moving from Ukrainian mob to sexy female killer to arsonist. Season 6 was risible with its Biblical killings and some of the worse investigative work ever. Unfortunately it was downhill from there. I also liked the Deb-Quinn relationship, on the same path of redemption. However, season 5, with his theme of redemption and the introduction of another innocent character was also pretty interesting. There were many funny moments, until the unexpected demise of innocent Rita. Season three saw him as a family man and loving father to be and season four trying to juggle too many roles. We got to know him as a serial killer with a dark childhood, then as an addict trying to cover his tracks. Season three saw him as a I loved the first 5 seasons of Dexter, as each one developped a new side of his personality (even if according to the man himself "he only has one level"). ![]() I loved the first 5 seasons of Dexter, as each one developped a new side of his personality (even if according to the man himself "he only has one level"). ![]() ![]() Like Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale (albeit more compact), the show is chilling in the ways that life has begun to imitate its source material’s art.

Watching the way Caitlin interacted with those around her, especially a young boy called Michael who she grew close to, the school bully Josh, who's the cousin of one of the boys who'd perpetrated the shooting, and her counsellor Mrs Brook. However, once I managed to get past that, I found this to be a well-written, thoughtful, and moving look at tragedy and at Asperger's syndrome. I struggled to get into this one - Caitlin's narrative voice takes some getting used to. With her dad struggling to cope and Caitlin no longer having her brother to explain to her things she doesn't understand, the young narrator must seek closure on the tragedy herself. Mockingbird is the story of Caitlin, an 11-year old girl with Asperger's syndrome trying to recover from the death of her brother Devon in a school shooting. I'd have liked it to have been a bit longer, but well worth reading. ![]() Summary: Moving and thoughtful novel about a young girl with Asperger's grieving for her brother, killed in a school shooting. ![]() ![]() ![]() Macmillan Audio is delighted to publish the first ever audio edition of this classic work, the greatest of all epic poems.
