All the old favorite characters: Murphy, Thomas, Michael, Mouse, Molly - even Gentleman Johnny Marcone show up in the story. If you've never read the Dresden Files, my advice is to go out immediately, get a copy of Storm Front (The Dresden Files, Book 1), and get started.In this volume Faerie Queen Mab comes to collect on a favor Harry owes her (from a previous book in the series) and our wisecracking hero once again finds himself fighting impossible odds to solve a mystery he wants no part of. (wow - I never noticed the alliteration before) I am totally hooked on this series, but find myself running out of adjectives for these reviews. If you've read other books in the series and liked them, then you won't be disappointed.
We keep all of his books in our permanent library. That being said, these books are not for younger readers, such as the Harry Potter series. This is a Harry for the mature reader. Harry Dresden Rocks. You absolutely MUST read this magical series. His story lines are creative and his dialog hilarious. Jim Butcher's books have all the action, adventure and imagination one could hope for in a book. We have read every book in the series and have enjoyed them all.
It isn't the hardest adult novel I've read, and I'm 15. I started reading the series backwards from this. Harry Dresden's awesomeness. I like the action, the humor, the story, and most of all. I didn't understand the characters that much, but I got most of it. This book is awesome.
I'm not going to tell you what it's about, you'll find out soon enough for yourself and you won't be disappointed. If you've read Dresden this far, do yourself a Small Favor and BUY THIS BOOK.
I loved the whole expirience. He captures each character in their own voice. huge fan. Im so glad i bought this book on cd. The book series it wonderful on its own, but narrarator James Marsters brings it to life.
