Book Reviews of Death Masks (The Dresden Files, Book 5)
Book Review: It's a Duel!
Summary: 5 Stars
Harry's up for a duel against the War Leader of the Red Court Vampires a problem he did not have intention to begin.
On top of that, he has to find the Shroud of Turin, identify a headless body, and his ex has returned - to help or harm him he does not know. Apparently, his capacity to start burning cities returns quite quickly.
Some interesting arrivals in this book include the Fallen Angels who are tied directly to the gold coins Judas was given by the Jewish Temple Guards.
The semi-religious tones are not overbearing, but rather practical and pragmatic, adding a good deal of drama to the novel.
Book Review: Next book please...
Summary: 5 Stars
I am anxiously awaiting the next in the series, I just wish it had taken me longer to read this one, now I have months to wait for more.And I need to point out...only one 1-star review...a person who enjoyed the book and the series except for one comment at the end of this book...do not let that stop you from reading them all!
Anyone who picks this series up and starts reading, with an open mind and an active imagination, is going to be hooked. The details are wonderful, and the book(s) are full of humor, romance, drama, fantasy, and action. What more can you ask for?
Book Review: A must read!
Summary: 5 Stars
These books are 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.Book Review: Great Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I will refrain from comments on the story itself. I will say this however, Butcher keeps you occupied and reading. I am not much of a book reader, but I listened to the 10th book in the series, and then came back through the series reading. It took me about a week a book here in Afghanistan, considering work load and my inability to read fast this is pretty amazing. Things don't usually keep my attention, but Butcher draws you into the characters not just Dreseden, but everyone.
Great series great books.
Book Review: They just keep getting better.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love these books, and I'm not a fan of fantasy. Butcher, however, makes me believe in his world and in the characters he's created. I love Harry's dry wit and the vulnerabilities that make him so human (keeping in mind he's all wizard). Can't wait to find out more about his mother and father, and see the return of the secondary characters I've grown to know.
I most emphatically recommend these books to anyone who likes to read, period. You'll be captivated despite yourself.
