Book Reviews of Summer Knight (The Dresden Files, Book 4)
Book Review: Wild about Harry!
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, I don't know whether Harry's wild about me, but I am DEFINITELY wild about him! (Real old song reference for those of you who are scratching your heads saying "Why should Harry be wild about her?" - I think, like, the 20's or 30's - 20th century , that is). OK, now that we have our music history out of the way, I AM wild about Harry. What a GREAT character. He's brave, compassionate, passionate, powerful, mixed-up, unsure of himself, depressed over the loss of Susan - and STILL cares about saving the world! I can only applaud Jim Butcher for giving him to us and be jealous of Jim's wife, because I have a sneaking suspicion there's a lot of Jim in Harry and she's GOT him!! Get to know Harry - he's the best ever!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: Harry Dresden casts a spell on reader!
Summary: 5 Stars
Harry Dresden is one of the most interesting characters I've read about in a very long time. Combining magic, mystery and humour this grown up version of Harry Potter is a fascinating read. In a world inhabited by vampires, faeries and wizards, Harry stands out head and shoulders above the rest. In this latest novel Jim Butcher takes his character to the next level of his development and we learn a little bit more about Harry's youth as well as meeting the infamous White Council. Structured as a good old fashioned detective whodunnit, this is the sort of book you read from cover to cover in one sitting, arriving late for work, cranky and bleary eyed.
Summer Knight is pure magic!
Book Review: GREAT read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I fell into this book series by accident. But once I read the first book, I was totally hooked by this great hero (?) and his motley cast of characters. SUMMER KNIGHTS was no different than the first 3 books. I love Harry Dresden. He is not a genius, hia magic doesn't always work quite the way it should, but he is a man that cares deeply about protecting his fellow human beings from things they don't always believe exsist. In this book, Harry has to deal with things that he doesn't quite believe in. It's done with style and humor that is irresistable. It's a definite must read.Book Review: Love the Dresden Files
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm now on my 5th book and I've recommended this series to everyone that I know that reads. These books are well written with lots of action, humor and serious supernatural stuff. I've read alot of scifi but enjoy these because there's always a bit of a mysterious plot as well as humor that makes Harry a likeable character. I have seen some of the tv series but was disappointed because of the major differences between the books and tv. Maybe someone should take it to the big screen and blow Harry Potter away. Dermot Mulroney would play an excellent Harry Dresden.
