Fool Moon

The Dresden Files, Book 2

De: Jim Butcher

Narrado por: James Marsters

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is Chicago's only openly practicing wizard. He is also dead broke. His vast knowledge and magical skills are unfortunately matched by his talent for making powerful enemies and alienating friends. With little more than his integrity left, he accepts an offer of work from Lt. Karin Murphy of Chicago's Special Investigations Unit. He wants to redeem himself in Murphy's eyes and make enough money to quiet his rumbling stomach.

Soon he finds himself pinned between trigger-happy FBI agents, shape-shifiting motorcycle gang members, a threatened mobster boss, and an heir to an ancient curse along with his primal fiance. Throw in environmental activists and a pair of young werewolves in love and you have something of Fool Moon.

so this is what I've been missing out on!

This second novel of the Dresden Files series really builds on the first and is an amazing, fast paced thrill ride with magic, the supernatural, and one wise cracking magi who happens to advertise in the yellow pages under Wizards. This is a great series for anyone who loves supernatural fun!

A fun transitional book

I had just completed a very heavy historical fiction novel. It was the kind of book that stays with you. So, I needed something a little bit more light-hearted and fun to reset before the next Magnum opus. The Dresden Files are the perfect books for this. Don't get me wrong, the book is awesome and the characters are great. But, it was just what I needed coming out of a heavy emotional novel.

Amazing series

Laugh, definitely laugh.

Any additional comments?

Jim Butcher just keeps getting better, im now on the 12th book in this series and i wish there were a dozen more.

Mixing practical science fiction with pure fantasy so skillfully i cannot seem to tell when one ends and one begins. I've not seen the sort of skillfull articulation and practical speculation on secular things relating to the fae and magic in general.

In short Jim Butcher does such an excellent job hiding the seams that its as if this skillfull articulation between two genres is actually one.

James Marsters does an amazing job as well. With audio books it takes a definite amount of dedication to provide the reader with an adaquate experience and James does not dissapoint.

Great book, great series, he just cant write them fast enough.

Another great Harry story

Another adventure for Harry Dresden. As before, Butcher does a great job leveraging every gumshoe trope in a way that makes for an interesting story without overdoing it. While the characters are flushing out nicely and expanding their depth from book one, Murphy is at risk of becoming too stereotypical. Her attitudes and actions bordered on unbelievable. It wasnt enough to stop me from going on to book three, but if it doesnt improve it does put the series at risk for me.

Hairy Harry

Into werewolves? Get this book. It's one of the best I've read that include the stories and myths of the creatures. It can be read as a standalone. It's gruesome, but the personalities, humor, and action make up for all the gore.
