Conjure by it at your own risk. I'm a wizard. I work out of an office in midtown Chicago. As far as I know, I'm the only openly practicing professional wizard in the country. You can find me in the yellow pages, under Wizards. Believe it or not, I'm the only one there. HARRY DRESDEN--WIZARD Lost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, Parties or Other Entertainment With rent past due and a decent meal becoming an issue of some importance, Harry needs work, and soon. A call from a distraught wife, and another from Lt Murphy of the Chicago PD Special Investigation Unit makes Harry believe things are looking up, but they are about to get worse, much worse. Someone is harnessing immense supernatural forces to commit a series of grisly murders. Someone has violated the first law of magic: Thou Shalt Not Kill. Tracking that someone takes Harry into the dangerous underbelly of Chicago, from mobsters to vampires, while he himself is under suspicion of the crimes. One thing is certain, if he can't stop whoever is on this killing spree, Harry will be the next victim. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - storm front reviewI was recomended this book on goodreads and Im very happy that I read this book! I now have a new favorite series I was totally engrossed from the 1st page I read it in one sitting loved it!I highly recommend this book to fantasy/horror/thriller readers it has a little of everything! If you like wizards and alot of action with a humorus twist then pick up the 1st in the Dresden Files series and let Harry into your heart! Rating: - Surprisingly goodI was apprehensive at first, several of my friends love this series but their descriptions didn't sound that appealing. They gave me the first copy and I must say that 1/4 of the way through the book I was totally hooked. Some parts of the mystery were a bit predictable, I figured out what was going on early in the story, but even still it was an entertaining and exciting ride all the way through. I quickly went out and bought the next 2 books in the series as soon as I finished. Rating: - Freaking AwesomeI haven't been this excited and absolutely addicted to a series in YEARS! I love the characters. They are somewhat flat at first but flesh out really well in later books. I totally love that most of the characters are snarky, flippant geeks of one sort or another. The dialogue is good, and I can be found to laugh-out-loud at times! BtVS meets classic noir. Totally freaking awesome. Rating:  - The TV show was betterI had high hopes for this book because I liked the series, but they were dashed by the end of page one. First of all, the writing is mediocre at best. As a writing teacher, I expect published authors to rise above first year writing students stylisticly. Too much repitition, some confusing sentence structures, cliches, unrealistic dialogue, and not very inventive (Nevernever was the best name the author could come up with for the alternate magical world?). Characterization is lacking. Dresden's maturity ... Read More Rating: - Great ReadingIf you like Harry Dresden you will enjoy this reading very much. The whole book is included, and James Marsters (Spike of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) does an Outstanding job of reading it. I intend to get all these books (with James Marsters reading), and urge the production of ALL the Harry Dresden series using Mr. Marsters as the reader. |
