Storm Front (The Dresden Files, Book 1)
Lost items found. Paranormal investigations.
Consulting. Advice. Reasonable rates.
No Love Potions, Endless Purses, Parties, or Other Entertainment.
Harry Dresden is the best at what he does. Well, technically, he's the only at what he does. So when the Chicago P.D. has a case that transcends mortal creativity or capability, they come to him for answers. For the "everyday" world is actually full of strange and magical things--and most of them don't play too well with humans. That's where Harry comes in. Takes a wizard to catch a--well, whatever.
There's just one problem. Business, to put it mildly, stinks. So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry's seeing dollar signs. But where there's magic, there's a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry's name. And that's when things start to get... interesting.
Magic. It can get a guy killed.

This book is better suited for a child between the ages of 10-13. Very short. Little detail.
I was disappointed in this book. It could have been a 200 page book had the font and margins been typical. Short. Lame... Just really a kids book. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone with a college education. Possibly even a high school...

fun book
I enjoyed reading this book and finished it less than a week (I am a slow reader). The book was exciting from start to finish and I will continue reading other books in the series.

A beginning !
book one of what has become a 10+ series. Read from the beginning because this series is great but needs context.

Blah.
Even though Dresden has noble intentions and desires to help humanity, he practically sedates himself with nonchalance. I don't enjoy looking through the eyes of a fully functioning man (mentally) who can't face reality and has as little ambition...

Strong Start to What Looks to be a Strong Series
Think Anita Blake. Think Anita Blake, without flowery description, without one-dimensional men in cheesy clothing, and without badly written sex. In other words, think early Anita Blake if it weren't written by a narcissist. If you've been...

An amazing novel
This is the first novel I have red by Jim Butcher and the first of this genre. The plot is interesting and original (at least to me). I think this is a good book for people looking for light reading. I am actually excited to read the rest of...

Original
First, I'm somewhat of a lenient reviewer... I tend to start off anything with 5 stars, then knock-off stars based on dislikes, or even if I find something is just on-par and not above-par. Book 1 of this series is a home-run. It has a somewhat...

Great book!
I really enjoyed the TV series, and my husband recently bought this book for me not realizing that the show was based on it. Really great book & a fun read. Even better than the series. I just ordered the rest of the books in the series and can't...

Loved This Book
I am thrilled to have discovered The Dresden Files series thanks to all of you Amazon reviewers. I frequently read Amazon reviews about books to see if I might be interested in a new author and that's just how I happened to discover Jim Butcher's...

Sam Spade meets Gandalf, not quit, but a nice mixture of the two
I got attracted to Mr. Butcher's Dresden series after watching The Dresden Files. Since the series has been cancelled I decided to start reading the novels that drove the series. This said, I'll open by saying that the books are not the series,...
