Meet Harry Dresden. He's in the greater Chicagoland yellow pages . . . under Wizards. He doesn't do love potions, endless purses, parties, or other entertainment. # That's how Storm Front – Jim Butcher's first entry into the world of The Dresden Files begins. It's a world filled with supernatural be...

10/7 - This had me snorting and 'ha-ing' in the first chapter, so that's a good start. I was quite surprised (and other emotions I can't quite identify) to learn that Murphy already knows that Harry is a wizard and turns to him for supernatural advice, on purpose. I watched the tv series (and really...

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden A wizard and an all around a nice kind of guy. I had no idea I would enjoy this book as much as I did.

Have you ever been approached by a grim-looking man, carrying a naked sword with a blade about ten miles long in his hand, in the middle of the night, beneath the stars on the shores of Lake Michigan? If you have, seek professional help. The curse of the predictable plot strikes again. I could see ...

At first, I thought this was going to be a 4-star read, but at some point, things started to annoy me a bit too much. I wasn't convinced by Harry's reasoning for not telling Murphy anything - not about the maffiosos threatening him, not about Linda [spoiler] (how could he not guess the murderer woul...

Everyone who told me I'd love The Dresden Files -- you were right! Love the style and the world building.

This series has been on my to-read shelf forever, so when the first two installments in audio went on sale I just couldn't resist. I'm really glad that I finally gave Harry a chance because I loved his POV, and the fact that his story is told by James Marsters certainly doesn't hurt either. Wizards ...
