The White Night...another good book from Jim Butcher
An action packed, Harry Dresden adventure. This is another in the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher. Butcher's hero, Harry Dresden, is a wizard/private investigator who has his own battery of unusual resources and methods of getting things done. Because Harry's 'involvement' usually leads to confrontations, there is always something happening to keep your interest; it makes it easy to read ...

Before a Live Audience
The astonishing thing about Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series is that after 4 standout books, he just hits his stride with book 5, DEATH MASKS. The book opens with Harry Dresden nervously working a spell to suppress his magic as he waits to be interviewed on TV. Wizards and technology don't mix and Harry has to endure the TV host's scorn when he refuses to demonstrate magic. Then the host ...

The Dresden bombing caused nearly the same number of deaths as the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima.

I really enjoyed this book. Especially 'How Stella Got Her Grave Back.' I thought the title was very clever. This book would make a fun birthday present.

Backup
Jim Butcher

Subterranean, 2008

Let's get something clear right up front. I'm not Harry Dresden. Harry's a wizard. A genuine, honest-to-goodness wizard. He's Gandalf on crack and an IV of Red Bull, with a big leather coat and a .44 revolver in his pocket. He'll spit in the eye of gods and demons alike if he thinks it needs to be done, and to hell with the consequences--and yet somehow my little brother manages to remain a decent human being. I'll be damned if I know how. ...

Butcher serves it up again !!
If your a fan of the Dresden files you will love this one, if your not you might like to try it. True it is a bit off the wall but it is also loaded with quick wit and humor and enough characterization to make you care about Dresdan and the people he works with and against. I loved it ! Penny

St. Martin's Griffin, 2007

Fun Stories....
The colorful cover caught my attention on this little collection. I recently discovered this genre to read in between biology and medicine abstracts, and these stories are truly fun. The only name I recognized was Jim Butcher--author of the stories on which television's Dresden Files was based. But I'll be looking for novels by many of the other authors. However, there was one story that ...
