Exactly. The guy has a good idea, but he completely fails to see the potential in his own story - much of the subtext, the philosophizin', the human aspect of Dexter was added by the TV people. The book is just a murder mystery with a kink, and a poorly written one at that. (Though the one good thing about it was that it made Debra a more likable character; if anything, she's less whiny and inept in the series than she is in the book, and that's saying something. Looks like she's getting a fantastic arc in s2, though...)
