Book Reviews of Grave Peril (The Dresden Files, Book 3)
Book Review: Good Plot, Good characters, Just Needs a bit more flow - 4.5
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked the plot in this one better then the second and first. It was something fresh and i love ghost. I love Micheal, the character sounds like a great character and him and Harry make a good conversation couple, i got quite a few laughs out of them to.
I also liked how Harry doesn't get what he wants all the time and it makes these stories more realistic. Though the stories sometimes go over the edge with fantasy the realistic fact of Harry and his limitation and loses brings it back to earth.
But let me get down tot his book. Good plot, though in the middle lost it a bit IMO it covered it's [...] in the end. So pick it up and enjoy it. I'm on to the 4th one now.
Book Review: Excellent Series
Summary: 5 Stars
While many authors of a series start off strong and then taper aff after the third or fourth book in a series, Jim Butcher continues and even improves over time. Butcher does a great job of introducing and handling plots and sub-plots, constantly moving the main character forward in his development. He also has a fantastic supporting cast of characters who change and grow through the course of the series.
Another thing Butcher does really well is handle the tone of the stories. He deftly handles and balances both heavy and light elements extremely effectively.
Always an entertaining read. One of the few series where I am always looking forward to the next book.
Book Review: Very Good
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the book that started to improve the Dresden files in a major way the first two installments of the series were fine but suffered from a kind of villain of the week feel, there was no overall plan or agenda to the series.
With the third installment of the series all of that begins to change. Harry gets into serious trouble that are still have ramifications on the current Dresden Files that are published. Also a number of secondary characters are introduced that are not meant at the time to register with the reader. Later on in the series the characters that are introduced in this book will be woven back into the narrative very skillfully.
Book Review: This series is addicting
Summary: 5 Stars
When it rains, it pours. The fabric separating the nevernever from the real world is coming apart at the seams. There is something in Chicago twisting barbed wire around ghosts and the souls of humans. It's up to Harry and Michael, the holy knight, to put the pieces together, save the innocent, and do what needs to be done in order to set things straight. Grave Peril is a winner just as Storm Front and Fool Moon were. In Grave Peril you'll get up close and personal with new characters that you wouldn't want to meet even on a dare. But have no fear, some of the old characters we all know and love are here with us through this story as well.
Book Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
Grave Peril is a funny, witty, rip-roaring, seat-of-your-pants, stay-up-and-read-it-in-one-night kind of book. Once again, Wizard Harry Dresden is up to his elbows in trouble, this time he's assisted by the ever stalwart and faithful co-hort, Michael -- a Knight of the Cross. The streets of Chicago have become a battle ground for terrozing ghosts and other otherworldly problems. All in all, a fine read, lots of fun. Grave Peril flows easily like an excellent mystery novel, keeping you on the edge of your seat, wondering what is going to happen next. It's filled with wit and sarcasm from Harry's point of view. 5 stars. This is a must read.
