Book Reviews of Death Masks (The Dresden Files, Book 5)
Book Review: Death Mask
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading all of the other Dresden Files I had looked forward to this one. Up until the end I was not disapponted but then the comment by a character that Jews were responsible for Jesus's death really upset me. This statement although not anti-semetic in itself has been used as a justification for the last 2 millenia to kill and persecute. To put this remark in a 21st century novel is certainly quite provocative if not down right irresponsible. Literary licence aside this could have easily been avoided. I wonder why it wasn't?Book Review: Great Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I will refrain from comments on the story itself. I will say this however, Butcher keeps you occupied and reading. I am not much of a book reader, but I listened to the 10th book in the series, and then came back through the series reading. It took me about a week a book here in Afghanistan, considering work load and my inability to read fast this is pretty amazing. Things don't usually keep my attention, but Butcher draws you into the characters not just Dreseden, but everyone.
Great series great books.
Book Review: They just keep getting better.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love these books, and I'm not a fan of fantasy. Butcher, however, makes me believe in his world and in the characters he's created. I love Harry's dry wit and the vulnerabilities that make him so human (keeping in mind he's all wizard). Can't wait to find out more about his mother and father, and see the return of the secondary characters I've grown to know.
I most emphatically recommend these books to anyone who likes to read, period. You'll be captivated despite yourself.
Book Review: Great!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, this is the fifth book of the series and it still perfect. It is fantastic how Jim Butcher is able to keep the series on a so high level. He made only a mistake, in the book you are lead to believe that the language spoken in Brazil is Spanish. It is not, We speak Portuguese here, Spanish is not even our second language. Apart from that mistake, the book is flawless. I can't wait for the next book and I really hope Jim Butcher will keep the series as it is.Book Review: Duel with the Reds
Summary: 4 Stars
Death Masks brings back the Red Court, McCoy, Knights of the Cross and introducing the Order of the Blackend Denarians and the Archive. As if Harry didn't have his own problems with Vampires, the council, and other assorted Characters, now he has to take on the Denarians. Great concept and perfect Enemys for the Knights of the Cross. Cant wait to see more of the Archive and the Denarians. Excellent read. Poor Harry, so many things to do and so little time
