Book Reviews of Turn Coat (The Dresden Files, Book 11)
Book Review: Still fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank you Jim Butcher!! I'm always worried when a series I love starts getting into this many installments. There always seems to be a point when the books lose their way. That has been the case for so many of my favorite series this year- until now! Here we are at book 11 and it is every bit as thrilling as it was from the start of the series. Butcher does a fantastic job of blurring the lines between the good guys and the bad in this one. The plot is top notch. I LOVED it and could not put it down. I found this one to be more emotional for me, especially the last part. I'm not going to discuss the plot or give any spoilers here but any fan of the Dresden Files series needs to get this one now. You're going to love it!! My only problem is having to wait another year for the next book!Book Review: Wow
Summary: 5 Stars
Harry Dresden continues to grow in power and wisdom in this latest installment of the Dresden Files. Since this is among the first of what will undoubtedly prove many favorable reviews, I'll limit the spoilers to what you can find on the book jacket, but Harry is again engaged in protecting the unjustly accused and unraveling the doings of evil. Intricately plotted, the House of Raith is again prominently involved, along with the ever-present Murphy and a couple of old friends.
As always, the wit is sharp, the characters are deftly drawn, and the scenes of battle palpably raise your heartbeat.
This is a top-notch addition to this now extensive series, leaving at least this reader with continued anticipation for many, many more.
Book Review: Butcher Does It Again!
Summary: 5 Stars
This incredible page turner has fantastic all over it. The 11th novel in the 'Dresden Files' series puts Harry in the position of having to protect and defend Morgan.. that age long pain in his backside. It only gets worse from there. I can personally recommend this book to any avid Dresden fan out there; and even though i read it in a mere 16 hours (i really get into certain books), the story was easy to follow, had great flow, and resolves a lot of nagging questions that have been popping up for the past few books; and yes,I will read it again, once my wife gets to it and reads it. Thank you Jim for an yet another entertaining and involved book from a great series..keep it up!Book Review: Well executed
Summary: 5 Stars
Though I adore Butcher's Dresden series, I had become slightly uneasy about this next installment...the violence seemed to have escalated beyond what was necessary for the purpose of previous books, each one more hard core than the last. I was so wonderfully relieved at Turn Coat! This book, while still managing to pummel him senseless several times, focuses more on "world" development. For isn't the world of Dresden as important as any other character? Add in more "fleshing out" of other wizards and their talents, and it is a fantastic read with just enough of everything (drama, humor, violence, lust, misery, hope...etc) to make a page turner worthy of Harry Dresden!Book Review: Nonstop action
Summary: 5 Stars
Another engaging book in the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher.
I think this one is the fastest paced of the series so far. Harry is juggling so much that it's hard to keep up. There are significant changes to a couple of major characters, but most of the book is action.
I found myself reminded a bit of early Miles Vorkosigan books (also excellent) where the protagonist is desperately, but INTELLIGENTLY trying to keep up with events that just keep coming at him. Similar high-speed pacing, wit, and interesting characters. Always keeps you wondering "what's going to go wrong next?!".
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
