Reading Level: Adult
(4 out of 5)
My husband has been badgering me to read this series for months now. He listened to all but the last one on audio CD and loved them. He said that James Marsters rocked as the narrator for the first eleven books. The twelfth book will be read by the guy who played Lex Luther's dad on Smallville. I only know this because my husband tells me.
I dragged my feet not because I didn't think I would like Mr. Butcher's Dresden Files books but because I thought that I would. I didn't want to get sucked into another series. It's too late now. I have been sucked in. Even though I don't have to wait for book two to be published I have to wait for it to be returned to the library. I'm waiting eagerly. It gives my husband and I something to talk about.
I enjoyed the TV show but they are different. I think I like them equally. I like Bianca in the TV show better than I do in the book so far.
Anyway in Storm Front you meet Harry Dresden. He is a wizard. That is how he makes his living. He doesn't do parties but he will help you find your missing keys. He works with the police on occasion as a special consultant for the cases that are weird. You can't help but like Harry. He has a sense of humor. I like that in a man. Not ten pages into the story he gets called in to consult for a double homicide. Jennifer Stanton and Tommy Tomm's hearts exploded right out of their bodies. It takes a whole lot of dark magic to accomplish that. When Harry starts sticking his nose where it doesn't belong bad stuff starts happening to him. I think the the quote on the book explains it the best, "Magic and wizardry meet hard-boiled detective fiction...a whole lot of fun."-SF Site.
