Book Reviews of White Night (The Dresden Files, Book 9)
Book Review: Hard Luck and Humor
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife convinced me that we should give the books a try after the SciFI Channel wimped out on the series. We read White Night first, then we went back to the beginning. Now we're on Small Favor and I feel deep anxiety as we come to the end of the canon . . . thus far.
Harry Dresden presents a clinic/seminar/example on how to face life's little troubles while staying cheerful. Once acquainted with the supernatural existential predicaments of the wry wizard, one finds it easier to cope with dyspeptic middle managers and blithering bean counters.
These books represent an anthem for the downtrodden, lovelorn and heroically unlucky plain folk of the world yearning to breathe the sweet air of fantastic realms . . . like Chicago.
Book Review: White Knight
Summary: 4 Stars
Harry Dresden is definitely my kind of hero. What you see is what you get. He never avoids a fight, but he's smart enough to know when to cut his losses and run.
In White Knights, he teams up once again with police detective, Karrin Murphy, new apprentice, Molly Carpenter, and old flame Elaine Mallory to find out who is elimating Chicago's minor wizards, one by one.
Things are never simple for Harry. His half-brother brother Thomas is a prime suspect, which isn't at all surprising, considering he's a vampire.
Full of action, humor and twists, this book is as hard to put down as the first eight.
Book Review: Dresden Isn't the Only Wizard
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never, in my life, ever said this about anyone, ever.
I am a FAN of Jim Butcher.
He has consistently written top notch novels, one right after the other. He's managed to build multiple, detail-rich over-arcing storylines, significant character change and growth, emotionally-laden highs and lows and the evolution of a world so complete that I have to remind myself to eat, sleep and go to work whenever I get started on a new Dresden Files novel. They are, intentionally speaking, mesmerising, pure magic every time.
As I said, Dresden isn't the ONLY Wizard when it comes to these books.
Book Review: in love with the series
Summary: 5 Stars
This whole series is great, this may be the best book in it so far. If your a Butcher fan you know about Thomas,one of my favorites.I like how Harry has to look passed the evidence his brother may be a traitor. It's always amazing how the books pull you in. Feel sorry for Harry but wow, he's a wizard and getting better and better at being one. Poor Murphy is barely keeping her job because she helped him. He wants to trust Elaine but can he? And Lasciel offers him all the powers he wants, makes it sound like there wouldn't be a cost. Won't ruin it for you but if you know the series you'll love White Knight.Book Review: Great series!
Summary: 5 Stars
These books were great! If you love science fiction you will love these books. The author is funny, witty and holds your interest from cover to cover. I ordered the complete set and read through it in a week! I hope they bring the television series back to SciFi. It is more entertaining a series that SciFi brought back, Dr. Who, or as I call it "the doctor's non habit forming sleep remedy"! I'm going to reread them soon since I enjoyed them so much! I'm sure there were things I missed on the first go around. I'm also looking forward to the next book in the series.
