TITLE: Storm Front (Dresden Files #1)
AUTHOR: Butcher, Jim
GENRE: Fiction/Fantasy
DATES READ: 11/1/2012 - 11/25/2012
MY RATING: 4/5
My brother has been obsessed with the Dresden Files for some time now, and he finally convinced me to start reading the series (at least the first book anyway), while we were camping.
The book moved very slowly from time to time, but I've heard from a lot of Dresden fans, that only the first book does that (as it is establishing the tone and the characters for the rest of the series). My favorite character was, obviously, Dresden himself. He was absolutely fabulous, possessing the perfect amount of frankness and mystery. I told me brother he reminded me of Han Solo mixed with a wizard. I've already made a mental casting note for him.
I think that Kevin Durand would be perfect, if they ever make a movie! He's got the height, and the piercing good looks. Dresden fans, feel free to agree or disagree. But I found myself picturing him the whole time.
Some of the plot elements were a little predictable. I found myself knowing when bad things were going to happen (and who they would happen to) a little too early. However, this was also Jim Butcher's first book, so slack is given until I read the next!
Overall, this book is awesome, and I look forward to the next one.
