I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, SO MY MOUTH JUST STARTED ACTING ON IT'S OWN. This narrator might be ok in small doses, but if you listen for several hours in a row, his bland voice can get on your nerves. If you have listened to any of the other books in this series and you liked them, then I believe you will like this.
I usually don't like lectures in my stories and in this you kind of get werewolves 101, I actually enjoyed learning about the three different types of werewolves. This story started pretty good, but as it went on, I felt it dragged. It is obvious that Butcher is an intelligent writer and it shows. I don't feel it is important what order you read these in. Some have said they like this better then the first book.
I WOKE IN A DARK PLACE This is a popular series about a likeable character. You will learn more about the different flavors of werewolf than you ever thought you wanted to know, and how they kill their prey (warning: not for the squeamish!) I'm going to download the rest of the Dresden series because I just have to know what happens next to Harry and how he'll get out of it! Fool Moon (nice pun, BTW) is about Harry's search to discover the source of a recent spate of killings, presumably by a werewolf. Although there is still some hackneyed detective-genre prose to make me cringe at times, I am won over by Jim Butcher's talent for painting these characters, creating an intriguing paranormal universe, and some twisty-turny storylines that keep you guessing. I found the writing style of this second Dresden book to be decidedly improved from the first (Storm Front). Harry Dresden, a wizard/detective in Chicago, is a very quirky, compelling main character who gets himself in one unbelievable predicament after another. I was looking for another engaging series to try after reading all of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books and found Jim Butcher's books.
