Fool Moon
Business has been slow. Okay, business has been dead. And not even of the undead variety. You would think Chicago would have a little more action for the only professional wizard in the phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn't been able to dredge up any kind of work — magical or mundane.
But just when it looks like he can't afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise.
A brutally mutilated corpse. Strange-looking paw prints. A full moon. Take three guesses — and the first two don't count...

It wasn't the best but it was still a good book, better than White Night but it's been so long since I last read it that I can't add much more than that.

The Alphas rock. What more needs to be said?

I think I read this one first because Borders was out of Storm Front. So this is probably the one that started my Dresden addiction. It might also explain why I have a Burger King crown, if anything can.
We're still getting to know Harry in Fool Moon. Yeah, I was initially skeptical about the 31 flavors of werewolf, but Jim handles it well and it works in the world he's building. Besides, if there were only one kind think what a short and straightforward book that would have been. Here, Harry's inability to trust makes him a danger to himself and others. That's the problem that has to be dealt with. The werewolves are just there to press the issue. It's kinda funny. Here's this broody loner who confides in no one beset on all sides by organized packs of enemies (and soon to be friends). After FM, except for his reasearch (sulking) time between Grave Peril and Summer Knight, Harry starts to play well with others.
There are some good moments here. I particularly enjoy Murphy beating Harry up and arresting him and the exchange at the end with Marcone dangling over his own killing pit. The mobster gets some good lines. I'm reading the books again because Small Favor is right around the corner and this time around I'm appreciating Marcone more with every book.

I'm afraid this one is my least favorite in the series. It is still very good, but I just wasn't comfortable with the gratuitous way poor Harry kept taking such an awful beating. I think it went a little over the top. But I love Tera and the Alphas, and I'm glad that Billy and Georgia become a part of the series.

Strangely, I loved it because it just kept on going. (Normally this isn't good, but for FM it sort of worked)
I finished the book and I was like, 'poor Harry'. I think in FM he gets beat up the worst. More so than in any other book.

I enjoyed it, but Dead Beat's still the best. This was just another step up the ladder of "Jesus christ, what's going to happen next?"

airyie I finished the book and I was like, 'poor Harry'. I think in FM he gets beat up the worst. More so than in any other book. Yeah he did just because Murphy kicked us a** so much. It was probably the hardest betrayl he had because how much he felt like he deserved it.
