The books are better, IMO. The first book was the authors first ever I believe, and you can tell. Some of the things they changed from the first book are for the better; for example, most characters (such as Angel Batista and Vincent Masuka) had very small roles in the book because it mostly focused on Dexter and the Ice Truck Killer.
The second book is COMPLETELY different from the show. And by completely, I mean it's a whole different plot.
