Book Reviews of Summer Knight (The Dresden Files, Book 4)
Book Review: Magic for Grown Ups
Summary: 5 Stars
The Dresden Files are superb. Witty, slyly humorous, often violent, and quite lusty now and then. Always an exciting adventure you will NOT find anywhere else! Start with the first one and leave behind the juvenile magic of Harry Potter, et al, forever.

KINDLE: Summer Knight is the first Dresden File I've read on Kindle. The formatting is great. The TABLE OF CONTENTS is in the BACK of the book, but has clickable chapters. You can get to it by MENU, GO TO, Table of Contents.
Enjoy!
Book Review: Wow, an ultra-fun romp with a wizard, right in Chicago!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know how Jim does it, but he just keeps topping himself. This book got me breathing hard and my heart racing. My hubby thought I had come to the juicy parts in (please pardon the expression) a bodice ripper, but I explained I was just spending time with my favorite wizard, Harry Dresden. Hubby says I then started babbling about rainbow colored blood,pixies, and fairies, and ogres, oh my! After which he claims I passed out from over-excitement. He poured a glass of cold water on me to bring me back and told me I was not allowed to read another Jim Butcher book. Fortunately hubby has a very short memory and a very wily wife. I am already dreaming, or maybe night-mareing about Death Masks, Jims next addition to the Harry Dresden Files!Book Review: Bring Dresden back!
Summary: 5 Stars
You know, I'd never heard of Harry Dresden or Jim Butcher until I started watching The Dresden Files on television. Then they cancelled it. Damned television executives! What do they know??? Oh well, at least they introduced me to Dresden and his wonderfully weird world. I'm up to Book #5 and hopefully, Mr. Butcher will keep on writing. He's a neighbor. He lives right here in the K.C. area. How cool is that?
If television execs had any brains at all, they'd bring Dresden back. Alas, as they have proven time and time again, their brains are where they sit, so I'm not holding my breath.
If you like classy wizardry and some damned fine writing, I strongly suggest you check out the Wizard of Chicago - Harry Dresden.
Book Review: Clever magic and guts to the rescue, again!
Summary: 5 Stars
Harry is in worse trouble then usual. His girlfriend is now a vampire. The vampires have put out a contract on him. The white council is deadlocked trying to decide whether to let the vampires kill him or do it themelves. It's raining frogs and someone just sold the mortgage on his soul. What could be worse? Well, if he doesn't crack an unsolvable crime in the next couple of days then it's the end of civilization (and life) as we know it.As usual Harry is out classed, out gunned, out muscled and out magiced. If straight forward magic won't see him through then maybe imaginative magic, unexpected resources, dirty fighting and being just too plain stubborn to realize he's beaten might save the world.
The best in the series so far!
Book Review: One of my favorite Dresden novels
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know what it is about this one, but it's among my favorite of the Dresden novels. Maybe because I'm a Murph fan and she kicks demonic hiney in this one. It's also the first book where the happenings in the Nevernever are really shown to influence the real world.
Besides, come on!!! Climactic battle with faeries, a demon, and a ghoul assassin inside a Super-Walmart? What's not to love?
Also, the decisive final battle really shows Harry leaning on others for a change, far more team-work than he's been comfortable displaying in some of the previous novels.
I'll just conclude the review with this thought from Harry "I know something you don't... the phone number to the Pizza 'Spress!"
