Book Reviews of Dead Beat (The Dresden Files, Book 7)
Book Review: Dresden at his best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tasked by an enemy to find and retrieve the Word of Kemmler, Dresden soon finds himself in a race not only against time but against the former apprentices of the late Necromancer that are also seeking it.Jim Butcher has produced another excellent addition to the Dresden Files. The action is fast paced, the dialog is sharp, the world and the characters within in it are both detailed and believable. Jim Butcher continues to impress me with his Dresden Files Series.
Book Review: Simply fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
Jim Butcher goes from strength to strength with his latest addition to the Dresden Files. I bought this in hardcover and devoured it in two days. The vampire Mavra threatens to destroy Murphy's career if Harry doesn't find the Word of Kemmler for her. The word is a book, giving necromancers god-like power over the dead, and six necromancers are in town looking for it. Mavra can't use it herself, but being dead means it can be used against her.
Once again Harry does battle with the forces of nature, magic, and evil--in the form of ghosts and zombies--to defeat the necromancers and to save Murphy's life and career. This time, the entire city is in danger of destruction, as more and more power is brought to bear on Harry in an effort to prevent him interfering. I especially liked Harry's pet dinosaur named Sue :)
If you love Laurell Hamilton's Anita Blake, Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan, Mark Cooper's Christine Humber, you will love Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden.
Dead Beat is book seven. The others in order are: Storm Front, Fool Moon, Grave Peril, Summer Knight, Death Masks, Blood Rites, and Dead Beat.
Book Review: Another 5 star book from Jim Butcher
Summary: 5 Stars
Frequently a series deteriorates over time and although you enjoy a book, it is not the same quality as earlier ones. Well this is certainly not true in this case and Harry Dresden goes from strenght to strenght.I enjoyed this book more than some earlier ones and particularly liked Harry's character development. It is also nice to say that although it is part of a series, you certainly don't have to have read the other books.
My only moan is that we will have to wait for book 8
Book Review: Magic, Passion, Wise Cracks And Zombie Dinosaurs!
Summary: 5 Stars
Butcher has delivered another action packed masterpiece, once again including everything that has made this series into a fantasy reader's delight. With the talent and fervour that Butcher obviously possesses for fantasy writing, he has ensured that this latest instalment is fast, fun, and fresh without it being dry and done as so many fantasy series seem to be(not mentioning any other Harry's, sorry, but alas, it needed saying!) Please if you're interested in buying this book then don't hesitate form starting with the first book, simply superb!Book Review: Stars and Stones!!!!
