Started slow but the last 100 or so pages kept me reading until I finished. Harry Dresden is an interesting character as a magician detective. Some intereting side characters as well like Murphy the detecive and Bianca the vampiress.
This was fun, amusing and clever. Butcher leaves enough to the imagination about the way the arcane and the everyday interact and gives the reader just enough to understand the basic rules in this world he created. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Really like 3.66 stars. A fun read about a wizard / detective in Chicago. Not as deep as I would have liked, and some of the characters were drawn a bit flat, but the plot moved along and there were moments of good writing throughout. Beats the pants off the other thriller (Pulse) that I read a few months ago. Like reading a good B movie.
