Book Reviews of Small Favor (The Dresden Files, Book 10)
Book Review: Great read, but it might be time for another trip to Chicago
Summary: 5 Stars
The plot line, once again, is riveting, as Butcher mixes together the Denarians, the Knights, and Fae. I loved the pacing, the story, and Harry's "voice" is so incredibly engaging that you can't help but get sucked in. I'm intrigued by the way Harry is developing and his evolving relationships with Murphy and Luccio. My only complaint is the little stuff. I love when authors write about real cities and include details that bring that verisimilitude to story. But, as a life-long resident of the northern Chicago suburbs, I think it's time for Butcher to come back for a visit. When little details are off, it throws the whole thing off for me. Suburbs half an hour north of the city don't number their streets, they name them. The south suburbs keep numbering, though. This was my biggest beef with his early books- he would make statements about the Chicago area that were simply not true. Yes, I know it's fiction. And yes, I get the whole suspension of disbelief thing. I just wish that for someone who writes as amazingly as Butcher does, he would get the little details right, too.Book Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was action packed, sitting on the edge of your seat, gnawing on your finger nails exciting. A wonderful continuation of the series. This book wraps up a lot of questions, and yet manages to create more. This has become my favorite seat and I'm eagerly waiting for the next one already.Book Review: More Than Pleased

Summary: 5 Stars
Jim Butcher keeps polishing and improving his style and characters, so much so that each new book is 10 times more addictive than the last. Small Favor is the 10th Dresden Files book, and it's characters, storyline, and fantasy world keep avid readers continually coming back for more.
This time, we're following Harry as he is again roped into working for the winter court of the faires. Abused, lied to and usually half dead, Harry continually shows us what it takes to keep swinging when your the underdog. His sharp humor and hysterical observations plant a smile on the readers face from page one, despite the tense and often dramatic confrontations that await our hero.
A solid series and an outstanding addition to it.
Book Review: Starts ok, but delivers in the end
Summary: 4 Stars
I just finished reading this book. Normally when I read a bok in a seriees I re-read the previous books in the series. The book started out almost with canned responses from the characters, like Jim was forcing the reaction. Towards the end of the book things started to flow better. Not sure why he was trying to do this. I forsee two reasons (1)intentional - this is a way for us to see that a certain event has occurred in the book that we don't know about (2) unintentional - had a difficult time getting the flow back.
