As usual, Harry didn't disappoint. I was hoping and praying he'd finally get laid but alas it didn't happen. We meet some new characters. The darkness within Harry, the Wardens make an appearance and I specially liked Butters. Appropriately named Butters was a reluctant sidekick who along with Mouse...

Well, this turned out to be my favourite so far in the series. All the world-building has really come to fruition by now, lots of old familiar faces, both friend and foe, and the consequences of choices made books (or in universe, years) ago are coming back to haunt Harry too. And while not all the ...

But far one of my favorites of Dresden's books. It's always a downer to see how sexist is Harry, but I can't help but like him anyway. The story is great and really engrossing but it missed Murphy! Harry is so much better when she's around.

Another enjoyable Dresden book, however the flaws of the series are starting to actually get really old - namely his silly compulsion with morality, and the extremely obnoxious, stupid, distracting and childish fantasy with protecting poor defenseless women. Ohhhh noooo a woman sounded remotely upse...

The chaotic events in his life may have Harry Dresden feeling Dead Beat...but his books have never been more energized!As an accountant, when I have a bad day at work, it often means I spent hours poring through various mind-numbingly dull spreadsheets trying to rectify a discrepancy. Now here's Har...

I was really hoping Sirens of Titan would be my 100th book this year, but I guess I'll have to settle for Dead Beat instead. Actually, this is hands down my favorite of the Dresden Files books so far, so I really shouldn't complain. The main story with Harry vs. the Necromancers really grabbed me,...

I remember why I love this series so much. It was a little odd to have a year gap between the events in the last book and the events in this one, but that worked out well, since I took a break between them. It would have been a lot stranger if I'd read this book right after reading Blood Rites.I don...

I'm not entirely clear on why I decided to read this series. Friends like it, but you can always find people who are passionately committed to a series once they've read a dozen books; it's like some sort of Stockholm syndrome. The first two Dresden books are not very good. The third is not good, bu...
