Book Reviews of Death Masks (The Dresden Files, Book 5)
Book Review: Beginning to find a deeper, darker direction
Summary: 4 Stars
Faster paced than Book 4 of "The Dresden Files", "Death Masks" seems to set Harry on a darker path. With the return of some favored characters from past books (Both Thomas and Michael appear), the plot moves along quickly as the mythology of the series as a whole develops a new facet.
The series as a whole seems to be more confident in its footing and to have greater direction in those earlier in the series...and it's still a fun ride.
Book Review: A Graaaaaaaiiiiiil?????
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, harry is on the move again. This time after the Shroud Holy item.
Susan comes back into his life to complicate things and faithful friends help along the way.
Bob the Skull keeps it intertaining and fun. harry does not get the girl, the bad guy loses (sort of) and life goes on for him,. He stays one step ahead of his bill collectors ... kinda sounds familiar(?)
i recommend this!
Book Review: Best in the series, so far
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion, this is the best book in the series, so far. Unlike the first four books in the series, I never once found myself wondering if there weren't a better way to continue the story. Harry's life keeps getting more challenging, but he's getting better at dealing with those challenges, too. And Mr. Butcher has come up with some really interesting characters to go up against Harry that keep me wanting more.Book Review: Another good one
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked this a lot better than the last (which was still good in its own right). The action wove together a lot better--not so cluttered.
It's interesting seeing where the various threads are going. I'll be curious how things pan out, particularly in regards to Susan.
And it was an interesting twist bringing in the Shroud of Turin without it being a huge Catholic mystery. Nice job.
Book Review: Hooked on Harry
Summary: 5 Stars
Jim Butcher is a great writer. His Dresden Files series is as fresh at Book 5 as it was at Book 1. The books can stand on their own, but really flow beautifully when read in order. Death Masks contains references to religious articles (in particular, the Shroud of Turin)and religious faith, but manages to treat different ideaologies and beliefs with respect. You have to respect an author who can do that!
