Book Reviews of Turn Coat (The Dresden Files, Book 11)
Book Review: Best Dresden Files yet. Tough, dark,complex, and heavy.
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't forget action packed. It's full of memorable fight scenes. Amazing cover, great format, fun, fast-paced, and the toughest of the Dresden Files to read (I'm 15. I am surprised at how hard the last 4 are, considering the ones before them were a bit hard but not too tough).
Dresden has finally matured a bit, so some fans might be put off by the lack of dry humor. Don't worry, it's there, but in parts.
The whole book leads up to an unexpected twist. Which I didn't see coming even a bit.
This is true literature, folks. Action, complexity, entertainment, and an amazing character facing a bizarre case. One word. WOW.
Book Review: Perhaps the Best in the Series
Summary: 5 Stars
In the series, this book is my favorite. Butcher, not only provides clues to the mystery, but brings together threads from his other books in a manner that is convincing and well-paced. The book grabs your interest in the first chapter, never letting go until the final page. The tension builds steadily as Harry gets closer and closer to the real killer while struggling to keep events under his control and protect those he loves. What I enjoyed most was the character growth. Harry and his friends have changed, and by the end of this book, they will change even more. A wonderful combination of fantasy, mystery, and suspense.Book Review: The series stays steady and true!
Summary: 5 Stars
One thing that you have to love about the Dresden Files is that the series has remained true to the character and enjoyable. Jim Butcher to date has not gone off the deep end, padding his books out or deviating from telling a compelling and entertaining story.
Turn Coat is no exception. The secrets that involve the Black Council finally surface and of course, Harry is dragged into it. Harry does what he does best, take no crap, get beaten up and find the bad guys. It's always a please to find yourself reading a book where you're truly sad that it's over. Turn Coat is in this esteemed category. Read and enjoy!
Book Review: One of the Best in the Series!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have just finished reading the book, I spent most of the day devouring it. As a big fan of the series and Jim Butcher I can say without a doubt I was impressed and this book finally answers nagging questions fans of the series will have. In addition it sets up the next book with a great conflict and more intrigue. I would recommend though that those just getting started with the Dresden Files not make this their first book. So much in this book is dependent on previous books. Once again if you are a fan of great writing I recommend this novel.Book Review: Romance and Mayhem
Summary: 5 Stars
One of Jim Butcher's major skills is to write with a good mix of emotional romanticism and bloody mayhem. Top with supernaturalism, magic pyrotechnics, and a whip of sex (or sex with whips).
In "Turn Coat" Butcher is at the top of his game.
And this time there is a fairly good murder mystery with clues, alibis, and a last minute denouement.
The scene is set for several more issues, and I am looking forward to the next one with high anticipation. (I only wish I didn't read so fast).
