Rendition Toward Books Jim Butcher Box Set (The Dresden Files Omnibus #1)

This was the way I read the first books of the Dresden series. I purchased the first 4 omnibus editions (put out by the Science Fiction Book Club) and read them back to back. While many find flaws in these books I find the writing, the character of Harry Dresden and "just simply" the enjoyment factor more than enough to push these over to a 5 star rating. These books are unique. Among fantasy and urban fantasy I think they stand alone.

Yes, there are folks who disagree and prefer other writers. That's "cool". We all have different tastes but for you who think you might share my opinion don't miss these.

This volume is made up of, Storm Front, Fool Moon, and Grave Peril. If you've read my individual reviews of these books you know I like them all.

Storm Front intros us to Harry Dresden the only commercially practicing wizard to be found in the phone book anywhere (at the time of the first book. if, like me you've read the series you know that now there is at least one other...but they don't live anywhere near Harry). This book left one of my friends here at good reads a bit frustrated in it's treatment of Harry's relations with another character. It can be, but it does work out later... This book was so good that I was sold on the character and the series right away. Of course I couldn't know here, but in my opinion as the series proceeds it actually improves.

The second book in this volume is Fool Moon. IF, repeat IF there is a weakest book in the series I find it to be this one. I still enjoyed it greatly, I still decided to go with a 5 star rating. So it's like steak or beer...or "the other example" usually given which I shall side step...even when it's not the best it's good. It only gets that said about it as it's part of a series of books that I find amazing as a whole.

In Grave Peril things actually take a very serious turn. We see a different side of harry and he faces more danger (believe it or not) and significantly more loss than before. This book sets up much of the plot that we will follow throughout the rest of the series (much of, but not nearly all).

The first omnibus edition containing the first 3 of what I think is THE BEST urban fantasy out there.

Evaluation Appertaining To Books Jim Butcher Box Set (The Dresden Files Omnibus #1)

I enjoy re-reading the first few Dresden Files books because they don't take over all my free time and keep me up til Stupid In The Morning like the later ones do. Harry has a habit of describing female characters by how much make-up they're wearing, which gets really annoying, and insists on telling you at least twice a book that a) he decorates his home in textures, not colours and b) that's he's really chivalrous and can't resist a damsel in distress. It's cool, Harry, we get it! But there's

So nice the library has all of these.

all three stars for the character of Harry and the sometimes-lost pastiche Noir voice. Great fun.

I think I read this much, possibly I read like 5 of these. I'm not exactly proud. The books aren't horrible, far from it, they are very readable. Good action scenes. Literary fast food. And I'm not exactly complaining. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, it is non-trivial to write books of this level. I would go further, this is rather good fast food, not the kind where you start hating yourself right after taking the first bite and where you continue eating out of desperate self hate.

This is my fourth time reading thru these stories again. Stormfront was my introduction to reading Harry Dresden and I fell in love with the character. With each new story Fool Moon showed me just how complex my hero Harry Dresden really was and what he was willing to do for the greater good. In Grave Peril, we see our hero being beat up for doing what is right even if it cost him valuable friendships and friends. Our hero stuck to his guns and tries his damn best to get it right. I'm rereading

Basic Plot: A modern-day, real-life wizard with a private investigator's license deals with supernatural threats in the city of Chicago.I've reviewed the books individually, so no major details here. This is the beginning of the series, and a good place to start for those interested in the concept. I would definitely recommend giving the series a few books to really get the feel for it and let the major plot get rolling.

If Raymond Chandler had written about wizards, vampires and fairies, the result might have been something like the Dresden Files series.And "Jim Butcher Boxed Set" opens on a high note with the gritty urban fantasies "Storm Front," "Fool Moon" and "Grave Peril" -- the first three books in his wizard-PI series. These aren't quite Jim Butcher at his best, but these novels are still a great introduction to his likable wizard hero and a complex new universe full of vampires (in three flavors!),
