Book Reviews of Small Favor (The Dresden Files, Book 10)
Book Review: Big rewards from a Small Favor
Summary: 5 Stars
In many cases with a long run series, the latter books can show signs of plot fatigue and weakening character development. Having been a fan of The Dresden Files books for several years, I can assure you that Jim Butcher continues to draw my enthusiasm and appreciation for the world of wizard Harry Dresden. Despite the failed TV show (which did not do the books any justice), Butcher's unique first-person writing style, lavish setting and captivating character personalities make the series a breath of fresh literature in the sea of monotony in the fantasy/sci-fi genre. For current fans of the books, Small Favor does not disappoint. For anyone looking for the next great series to follow, books 1-10 of Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files is waiting for you!Book Review: good but slightly fragmented and choppy
Summary: 3 Stars
Hello; I am a great fan of Butcher's Dresden. this story though seemed choppy and fragmented, it did not have the flow of the others.
Some of the related incidents from other stories and his history did not seem to track as clearly as in previous books.
I love the series though the characters are my favorites, and I love the tv series done with this story line.. better than most other stuff on tv now!
Please convince them to continue for a few more to clear up the uncle issue and make Harry a white wizard again..and his girl friend... needs to show herself again. and the vampire courts etc all the make believe netherland is wonderfully scary and horrid
Book Review: Another excellent entry
Summary: 4 Stars
The wonderful thing about following the Dresden Files is that the writer comes out with new books like clockwork and they never flag in quality. Butcher is masterful at weaving together edge-of-your-seat action with long germinating plots that take several books to develop. This entry is no exception and almost leaves more questioned unanswered than it resolves.Book Review: Excellent series
Summary: 5 Stars
This is #10 of what I feel is an excellent, fresh series. Jim Butcher writes well and his characters and sense of humor are devoloped.Book Review: Small Favor, Tremendous Writing
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this series, the Dresden Files are a fantastic journey through the life of a truly unique character. In Small Favor Harry Dresden finds himself once again under the thumb of the deadly Winter Queen Mab, chased by demons and Gruffs and generally trying to avoid getting killed while trying to protect the people he cares about. Harry is funny, charming and heartbreaking all at once, his continuing fight against the darkness creates a page turner that will keep you up well into the darkest part of the night. Jim Butcher is an incredible writer whose Harry Dresden is as real to the reader as anyone you might meet walking down the street, especially if they carry a big stick, walk with a bigger dog and smell a little bit like Hellfire.
