I couldn’t get through my first Dresden novel. I made it about 120 pages and realized it wasn’t worth continuing. How anyone can delight in reading about this buffoon is beyond me. The humor is on the level of the Police College movies (and not the first one, the only excellent one) and the plot unfolds at a snail’s pace. Butcher should be forced to read Raymond Carver so he can learn how a detective novel should be written. I gave the novel an extra star because the thought of porno vampires is titillating. Too terrible Butcher couldn’t match the quality of his prose with inventiveness of the premise.

This was by far the worst book of the series. After I finished it, I chose that I was not going to continue the series; I was done. I am glad that I changed my mind, because books 7 and 8 were fantastic, Blood Rites was not more than average. As in all of his novels, Butcher makes fantastic character depth. Additionally, the overall plot (the war with the Red Court, the drama with the White Council, the Nevernever, his involvement with the fairies) progresses in this novel. But, the fact that he uses the set of a porn film for this book was a small over the top. I have problems believing that this is where supernatural beings would wage battle. This novel can’t be skipped because of its importance to the series, but I wish it could be.

I had never bought from this seller before, but, will happily do so again. My book was sent back from the original mailing take up and the seller kindly emailed me and I had it delivered to another take up…no problems. What fantastic ancient fashioned customer service you don’t find regularly. I was very pleased!

I loved the first few books but by the sixth book I just couldn’t read anymore about vampires. I wish the leader would add some additional type of villains besides vampires. Are there no additional types of villains for a wizard to conquer? Too much of the same…..

This book opens with a trademark Harry Dresden go: fleeing a burning building. It’s the fault of the giant monkey demons who are hurling napalm pooh. Harry races to his car, which has been eaten by mold demons…With a chortle of laughter, the reader settles in for another wild ride in Chicagoland as imagined by Jim Butcher.
Harry gets to live every boy’s dream: he’s hired to help out on the set of a porn picture because the director thinks a name has cursed him. In previous books the terrible guys popped up with such monotonous regularity one could mark one’s page with them. There’s more focus and a greater sense of urgency to this plot.
BLOOD RITES is the sixth in the series but it is the first to link fervently to the previous books and the first to explore Harry’s past. Harry was agreed a small more depth in book five, but in this book, lacking any break in the action, Harry learns things he didn’t know and confronts unpleasant truths about his mentor Ebenezar McCoy. I don’t want to give any spoilers so all I will say is that Harry helps out his half-brother and gets adopted by a puppy. The ending is levelheaded and as pleased as anything ever gets for Harry, but certain fundamentals provide fantastic foreshadowing and sent me racing down to the bookstore to get the next one. Thanks, Jim!
