Book Reviews of White Night (The Dresden Files, Book 9)
Book Review: Harry's my kind of hero
Summary: 5 Stars
Harry's a powerful wizard, but not a very good bureaucratic employee as Chicago's warden. Part of the reason is that he tries to not make rash judgments, ones which would kill someone. Basically, everyone has a chance, albeit sometimes small, in Harry's book until you prove him wrong.
For those who have watched the Sci-Fi series, some of the earlier novels are the basis for many of the episodes. I think the books have much more detail in them than can be shoved into an hour, at least coherently.
Butcher's writing has great detail and character development. I'm afraid that if you choose this book to start reading you may be incredibly lost. If you insist, I would suggest going to a fan site and looking at the characters as well as getting a synopsis of previous novels. As Butcher spaces out the novels with at least a year in between, visiting a fan site may not be a bad idea even for those acquainted with Harry Dresden.
Book Review: Harry Dresden continues to grow in both power and interest.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a fan of Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden novels from the very beginning. I can honestly say he has outdone himself this time. We are introduced to new and interesting characters and reunited with old friends. Harry's powers seem to have grown and being a mentor to his new apprentice have matured him as both a wizard and reluctant hero. The final battle is truly something to behold with several factions coming together for a magic slinging smackdown of astronomical proportions. As usual Harry saves the day by the skin of his teeth with improvisation and blind luck.
I am already chomping at the bit for Mr. Butcher's next offering. The Dresden files are a must read for any fan of the SF/Fantasy genre.
Book Review: Jim Butcher does it again
Summary: 5 Stars
White night is roller-coaster of a book, impossible to put down once you start to read. Jim Butcher has consistently got better with each book in the series which when you consider the first was absolutely wonderful is no mean feat. If you haven't yet read any of his books start now, if you have I'm preaching to the converted. Long live Harry Dresden!Book Review: Chicago's Only list wizard rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Dresden books especially White Night are must reads for fans of SciFi and fantasy. You won't want to put it down until you are completely finished with this exciting page-turner. Don't miss out--get all the Dresden books!Book Review: Maybe for pre-teens
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought it was corny and the character of Murphy unbelievable. Not my cuppa tea. Sorry.
I saw part of one of the TV shows and thought it was different. So I figured the book would be even better but no such luck.
