Book Reviews of Grave Peril (The Dresden Files, Book 3)
Book Review: Humor, Horror, Hype
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read only four the Harry Dresden-wizard novels and I stand here craving more from the author each day. This novel is by far the best of the series. We see Harry interact with the character more so than before and finally his feeling for Susan are laid out on the table. At first, it seemed that Jim's minor major characters lacked depth, but everything is coming full circle. I can't wait until we the full back story of Harry's life that will make a interesting book. Keep up the good work Jim.
These are perfect books for those a little disappoint in the Laurell K. Hamilton serious as of lately.
Book Review: More!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been devouring this series this week! Yum, yum--good brain candy!
I'll admit--when the premise was first revealed, dealy ghosts, I thought "Okay, now, how is this going to be interesting?" Let me tell ya--it got VERY interesting after the initial slow startup. Kinda sneaked up behind me and GOT me.
I love how Harry and Susan have settled into their relationship--she's incredibly patient with the craziness in scheduling his profession brings about.
I also loved the twists at the ending--didn't see it coming!
Three for three! I get the next one tomorrow!
Book Review: Funny and Suspenseful
Summary: 5 Stars
Grave Peril, by Jim Butcher, is the 3rd novel in the Dresden Files.
Professional Wizard Harry Dresden is at it again. This time, someone (or something) is after Harry and his friend and knight, Michael, and it begins attacking their friends and family. Harry has his list of usual suspects. But when he's invited to a vampire ball, warning bells go off.
Big reveals and even more suspense accumulates in this installment. As always, Butcher does a wonderful job of including elements of clever humor in even intense situations. Characters grow and evolve, and not even Harry can save everyone.
Book Review: Almost too intense!
Summary: 5 Stars
Fitting successor to FOOL MOON and, certainly to the genre. However, GRAVE PERIL was the most intense of the series so far and I'll admit the narrative was almost so hopeless of resolution at times that I just had to back off for a bit. Way too bleak.
As always, Mr. Butcher's style and characterization are emminently readable and Harry Dresden is quirky enough to keep the reader's interest. Plotting is intricate enough to make us pay attention and Dresden's world unfolds a bit more with every title in a beguiling manner.
I hope you don't tire of writing in the Dresden Files, Mr. Butcher.
Book Review: Best of series!
Summary: 5 Stars
The entire series of Dresden books are just fun, fast, and wonderful. Grave Peril is particularly intricately woven, and a bit more serious than some of the others. The ending is very devastaing, very sad. I also noticed more typos than usual in this book, and occasional errors, such as the fact that it's stated earlier in the book (and in all the others) that Harry has no electricity in his apartment, but at one point he goes into his bathroom and "flicked the light on". Oops.Anyway, I recommend the entire series, and am looking forward to the next installment.
