Book Reviews of Dead Beat (The Dresden Files, Book 7)Book Review: A family affair Summary: 5 Stars
My teenage son and I have taken on reading of the Dresden Files as a summer reading project. Its a quick read and appeals to our interest in the supernatural. Dead Beat shows Jim Butcher maturing as a writer and really finding his stride in this series. So far, this is the best one in the lot. Its a good transition for children moving out of the youth genre into more adult material. Though there are a few racy scenes and some interesting language, its no more than what the kids are exposed to in other media these days. If you enjoyed Harry Potter and Eragon as a youth, you'll enjoy Harry Dresden as an adult.
Book Review: Wild Ride Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great story. I especially like the character Butters in this book, as he is really just an average guy, and he finds out some stuff about himself. All the Dresden File books are exciting, and the ending to this one is literally a really wild ride. Anyone who likes action with a sense of humor will really enjoy these stories.
Book Review: Slow to start, but a killer finish Summary: 4 Stars
Dead Beat meanders a bit in the early going but comes together at its memorable conclusion when Harry Dresden pulls off his best trick yet.
One of the three top Dresden Files novels.
