A lot better the second time around. Yes, this was a re-read for me and the story seemed much more intriguing this time. I really like Harry, even though he likes to make life harder for himself. I still don't get why he couldn't be straight with Murphy. I mean, he didn't have to tell her about the White Council but there were things that he could have told her, about his suspicions and about Marcone and his man... He had to know that she would go and investigate anyway. Wasn't it better for her

As the rating indicates, I found Storm Front good but not great. Its charm is that it allows the reader to see magic and 'reality' side by side. Harry Dresden attempts to be a part of modern society - as much as is possible when technology dies in the presence of magic - and thereby goes against most magical stereotypes as seen in other books. It is interesting to see a magical world that's not kept secret, but is readily available to us common mortals.

A wizard detective in Chicago. If that sounds good to you, you'll like it. Fun.

so far, reading this reminds me of reading Tanya Huff. This is not bad, just interesting.
Kind of reminds me a watching a bad TV show that you know is bad but you like anyway. It was fun but certainly not original or well written.
While I found it to be mostly a fun read and a mostly likeable main character, it left a somewhat bad taste in my mouth in regards to the female characters. I'd like to give the author the benefit of the doubt, but he came across as rather misogynistic.

This one got me hooked on the series. I love Harry Dresden, "Saving the world one random act of destruction at a time." This is actually one of the weakest books in the series; they just keep getting better.

I liked this book and would be willing to try another - - - but right now, i can't say this is a total Love-fest for me. An interesting concept though, with a wizard as a detective.

I really enjoyed the mix of hard-boiled detective fiction with wizardry in this book. Definitely a fun read!
Fun fantasy/mystery book. I could totally see this being turned into a TV series, a la Buffy.
