I love this book

Mr Butcher is an excellent storyteller, and as the series evolves, he makes you care more and more about the characters, and you get sucked deeper into the fantasy world that he creates. I bought the first one because of the tv show. Then I bought 7 more and read them in six days. I can't get enough and I can't wait until the next book!

Fool Moon

Great light reading! I enjoyed the book and I am now on book four! I love the sarcasm of the main character. He is oh so human.

Seriously chilling wolf action and Harry in trouble...again!

I first was exposed to THE DRESDEN FILES via the tv show (which I don't like), and then picked up the first novel (which I loved), and decided to ditch the show and stay with the books.

Number two in the series affirms I made a good decision. FOOL MOON took me a while to get into. I just don't go for werewolf stories. I've read a couple of wolfish novels and they didn't work for me. But I plugged along and soon enough the Harry magic took over.

In this installment, Harry basically makes enemies of just about everyone (except hot reporter Susan). Murphy wants him behind bars, an assortment of wolfen characters--from all the branches of werewolfdom--are out to get him, and even a demon summoned for aid ends up showing a nastier side than Harry expects. One thing Butcher is a master of is getting Harry into the worst scrapes imaginable, so that we, the readers, think, "Oh, no, he's doomed!" even when we know he CAN'T BE DOOMED, cause, hey, he's the protagonist. And yet, there it is. Harry...rock..hard place...and a really creepy loup garou baring its fangs. Add the reappearance of Gentleman Johnny Marcone up to his usual no-good, and Harry is having a very, very , very bad series of days.

But it's such fun to see how he'll survive.

This book has some incredibly exciting moments. The rampage in the police station is harrowing. REally, really harrowing. The demon summoning is informative and, in Butcher's usual fashion, mixes the dark with the humorous. And the climactic battle brings everyone in for the big and bloody fight, and it shows us a side of Harry we haven't seen yet, and one that was exciting and scary to behold.

The ending portends even greater trouble ahead for our dear, battered, bruised, lacerated, depleted, but still up for a Susan-snog Harry. Woohoo. I can't wait.

So, okay, there's at least one werewolf novel that I truly enjoyed. Color me surprised.

Can't wait to get into Dresden #3. This series is addictive. (Unlike the tv show, which just doesn't grab me, though I've tried, really tried, to get into it.)

Excellent story telling

I first became aware of Harry Dresden on the Sci Fi channel show. But when I read my first book, it was 100 times better than the show which by the way changed characters and other things. This is super natural mystery at it's best.

Phenomenal!

I first became interested in the Dresden Files books by getting hooked on the Dresden Files SciFi channel show. There are, of course, many differences between the show and the books, but both are very high excitement, high action, and heavy with the adrenaline-pumping adventure. This particular book starts quick with the action, and never stops until the last page, as Harry gets in over his head with loup-garous, wanna-be werewolves, and his always-rocky relationship with Lt. Murphy. The twists and turns with the introduction of the FBI agents are a little bit obvious, but everything else in the book rocks - and has made me a continued fan of everything Dresden. I'll be getting more of these books after the season finale of the show next week (sniff.). Pick this up if you are a fan of anything scifi/fantasy!
