I've always been a fan of detective/PI stories. I wished I was clever enough to actually write one, but until then it's just a pipe dream for me. When I first met Harry Dresden in Storm Front, I knew I was in for a real treat. Stories that combine elements of horror, fantasy, and a hard-boiled detec...
Another enjoyable story. Not sure I'm as into this series as other people I know - can't put my finger on what it is about it that isn't completely grabbing my attention though...
I am still somewhat split about these books. On one hand I kind of like Harry Dresden, the stories are good and holds together fairly well and in this book Harry actually kicks some ass with some real magic but on the other hand he is still a bit of a wimp at times and he does unfortunately get his ...
My favorite thing about this book was learning the term loup-garou. As best I can tell, it is basically french for werewolf. In Fool Moon, the loup-garou is the evil big daddy of all the werewolves. Being the dog person that I am, I would think that werewolves might have more appeal to me, but the...
Fool Moon by Jim Butcher is phenomenal. I really did like this book but I still gave it four stars after thinking about what did and did not work for me as I was reading this.We have Harry Dresden dealing with the fall-out from the events in Storm Front and having to deal with the cold shoulder he i...
2.5 stars, rounded up.This is a werewolf novel, with many types of werewolves. There are Hexenwulfs, lycanthropes, loup-garous, and others that I don't remember. Personally, I wish that Butcher had just stuck with the loup-garou. That thing was fantastic. It was a muscly, wolf-like thing that, unles...
I felt that this book could have done to have been a bit shorter. It dragged in a few places. Don't get me wrong; the story itself was interesting, but I would have liked to have seen fewer spots of lag and more character development. I would have especially liked to have had more interaction with...
All right, I’m going to be honest. I thought I would be enjoying the Dresden Files for some time. I never expected to love them. After all, the setting isn’t traditional fantasy, and after the last, I wasn’t left dying to read more. I enjoyed Storm Front, don’t get me wrong, but I didn’t stay up thi...
But just in case it didn't? I like a lot of the ideas, especially one minor reveal at the end, but I wasn't crazy about this as a whole. The fact that he knows Murph doesn't want help, but he can't help but giving it to her is kind of violating and I hate Dresden for that. Add that to the sl...
