Book Reviews of The Dresden Files: Welcome to the Jungle
Book Review: It begins here
Summary: 5 Stars
Meet Harry Dresden, WIZARD FOR HIRE.
In this prequel to Storm Front Harry Dresden works on an earlier case with the Chicago PD. People are getting ripped apart and no rational explanation is available. Harry Dresden must track down the killer and try to keep alive while doing it.
In this first attempt at writing for this medium, Jim Butcher (an avid fan of the medium), does a wonderful job at bringing Harry Dresden to life in graphic novel form. If you like this, I suggest you pick up the graphic novelization of STORM FRONT as well.
This was great.
Book Review: Dresden is the Man!
Summary: 5 Stars
I would recommend starting from the beginning when reading the Dresden books. He's quirky, but a good wizard at heart. His compatriots are great and only add to his character. The old car he drives is hysterical and the place he lives is totally strange, like himself. I have read all the books and forwarded them to a good friend for reading. Once you read one book, you're hooked and have to finish the entire series. Jim Butcher has created a good character in Harry Dresden and I sometimes forget that Harry is a character in a book, not in life. Read it! You'll love it!Book Review: Another great Dresden Files story
Summary: 5 Stars
For those who might otherwise miss this, Welcome to the Jungle is a graphic novel, meaning it's a comic (actually 4 comics compiled into one book). It's not kid stuff, however; it's a prequel to the Dresden Files series.
The artwork is gorgeous, the narrative (especially Harry's trademark wit) is snappy, and the story flows fast and furious. A picture in this graphic novel is probably worth much more than 1000 words - the quality is that impressive. I hope to see more graphic novels from Jim Butcher in the future, as well as more work illustrated by Ardian Syaf.
Book Review: Dresden goes Manga
Summary: 5 Stars
I added this to my Butcher collection & bought it knowing I was getting a (short) graphic novel vs. a book. With the in mind, I truly got what I paid for. Cost may exceed the norm for a comic book, but if you have priced short manga novels lately - this one is not exorbitant. Graphics are great, story line was good. I got exactly what I paid for - a new addition to my Harry Dresden collection, in a slightly different format. All is good.
Don't gripe about the size of the book; it is a quality product.
Book Review: Excellant graphic novel
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well done exemplar of the graphic novel genre. Jim Butcher is going to redo the entire series as graphic novels as he is a big fan. I am not and this will be the last of these that I will buy. The plot is good some humor and the illustrations are good as well.
If you like graphic novels you will like this one, if you don't you will not. If you are unfamiliar with graphic novels this would make a pretty good introduction.
I don't really much care for them myself.
