amberwitch: A tough P.I. with a number of convenient talents making a living and trying to uncover the secrets of his own origin in the magical Nightside of London.
plutoempress: similar style, though i (and this is my opinion) find john taylor funnier than harry dresden.
lookitisheef: Jim Butcher and Simon R. Green both have created great supernatural male-lead detective series. I think they provide a nice balance to the girls-kick-butt series out there...don't get me wrong, I love the work of Kim Harrison and Laurell K. Hamilton (to name a couple), but it's nice to see that authors can create plausible male leads in the supernatural fiction world, too.… (plus d'informations)
kqueue: I found many similarities between Isaac Vainio and Harry Dresden. Both are cynical, powerful, heroes with a dark sense of humor, who are on the fringes of their official organization but are called in to save the day. Both books feature many mythical creatures, and have a good versus evil theme in a fast-paced adventure.… (plus d'informations)
gluestick: Lone wolf hero.After coming back from Iraq and getting a donor eye he starts seeing ghosts. Next best thing while waiting for the newest Dresden files book.
Pornește cam la 1 /5: clișeu, clișeu, clișeu, nu doar că 100% șablonarde (de la scene, personaje, decor la replici) dar până și fix în ordinea șablon a noir-urilor (ca scene). Groaznic. Apoi apare elementul fantasy și se înalță spre 4/5, dar tot cade: personaj zân, foarte tare, nedezvoltat; personaj mafiot, foarte tare, nedezvoltat; poveste fantastică destul de bună, dar care se dovedește a fi mai degrabă poleială tot peste un simplu policier; personaj negativ eluziv, interesant ca mister, dar apoi dezamăgitor ca revelație; personaj polițist enervant și șablon, dezvoltat din belșug, personaj duh cu umor de calitate adolescentină, cam dezvoltat și el. Ș.a.m.d. Și apoi se prăbușește iar, nu la 1/5, ci la -5/5 - o dă din clișee noir în ceva mult mai rău: clișee de Hollywood. Scena cu Dresden și Murphy în laboratorul lui vs. (să zicem ceva negru ca să nu spoilerim) a fost atât de enervant de penibilă, că nu am mai putut continua cartea și am capitulat pe la 80 și ceva %. Evident, nu voi citi restul seriei. Păcat, căci scriitura lui Butcher e foarte bună, cu tempo excelent și cu atenție la detalii - mi s-a părut un scriitor bun care a scos o carte cel mult mediocră.

I've heard about this series for a while and stumbled across the first novel on sale. Having read it, I'm really torn. It was certainly entertaining, And I am now curious to see where the series goes, especially as I hear they get better as the series progresses (though I hear it gets really good around book eight and I'm not sure I have enough patience for that). Ultimately, I don't know as, while entertaining, it isn't a book I think I'd ever re-read. ( )
This has been on my TBR read for too long. Recently, references to the series kept coming up, and I finally grabbed the first book. It's a thoroughly enjoyable read. Harry Dresden is a grumpy wizard but an engaging character. He's the prototype rumpled detective (think Columbo, though taller and thinner), always behind on his rent and in trouble with the Council of Wizards. While in places, the book felt a bit dated with references to pay phones and other now obsolete technology, and it never got in the way of a great story. Harry has to solve a gruesome murder and find a missing husband, typical detective fare but solved with the help of faeries and vampires. Now I can't wait to get into more books in the series; the people who recommended this to me were soooo right. ( )
Storm Front's premise is pretty slim.. But Butcher makes it work, through a combination of interesting characters, tight plotting, and fresh, breezy writing. This is definitely not deep reading, but it is a whole lot of fun.

For Debbie Chester, who taught me everything I really needed to know about writing. And for my father, who taught me everything I really needed to know about living. I miss you dad.

Paranoid? Probably. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face.
"An actual wizard?" he asked, grinning, as though I should let him in on the joke. "Spells and potions? Demons and incantations? Subtle and quick to anger?" "Not so subtle."
I realized he'd been giving me CPR. Eww.
