3.5 stars. As good as the first one. Harry Dresden is a really good main character and the tone of the book is a lot of fun. A truly fun, quick read that is NEVER boring.

"Fool Moon" has some very Harry Dresden moments throughout (like the insanely large amount of injuries he earns himself, for one, and his stubbornness and inability to simply let a thing go if giving up may result in someo ...more

Like 3.75 stars. The Dresden Files are a lot of fun.
Second book in the series. A better plot but I agree with Cheryl that the narration of James Marsters is the main attraction.
