Week 2: Butcher, Jim


Author: Butcher, Jim

Status: Never Read before (but do own one of his books in paperback)

Genre(s): Fantasy, Mystery

Books: 21. Best known for the Dresden Files stories.

Books Read: Storm Front; Fool Moon; and Grave Peril.

Why Chosen: Was recommended to me by a Friend.

Thoughts:           
Pros: Nice, easy to read books. The world of Harry Dresden seems to be well imagined and cohesive. The stories stand-alone, but (at least in the books I read) there are hints of an overarching plot.
Cons: They do seem to tend more towards the standard mystery formula, with a supernatural element, however with the fantasy twist of the protagonist being the only one able to save humanity.

Would I read more of this author: Yes
