This particular book was a great addition to the series. I am now the same way and also when Marsters makes the difference in using a small "fuego!" in comparison to belting out a bellowing basso "FUUEEEEGGGGOOO!!!!" It really brings the story to life and sometimes I get chills just from listening to it.
Well done! I have to agree with another reviewer that says that he can now picture Dresden saying "FOZARE!". I rate these books as 5 stars due to the story line and the excellent narration. I am now up to book #11 and they just keep getting better. It is good to watch Harry Dresden grow from the beginning and know where the other players come in at and get the background foundation. I strongly suggest you start with the books in order, now that they are available, to help understand the story development fully.
I have actually found myself driving around the block of my customers locations a few times just to get to the end of a chapter for a stopping point. His intonations, laughs and accents really help to make this an exciting listen. James Marsters does a GREAT job of bringing the story and people to life. No need to worry, it was even better than I could have hoped for. Then I started travelling more for work and was nervous about having them in audio format starting with this book, #8. But you can still listen to 'Small Favors' by itself, so grab a beer (or your favorite beverage) some pizza, turn out the lights, and get on a case with Harry.įirst, let me say that I was turned on to the hard copy books initially and loved the series from the start. You really do need to read them from the beginning in order to not only appreciate the plot you're reading now, but to understand the subplot that flows through all the books. I am hoping that soon all the Harry Dresden books are here at Audible. Butcher does follow an old, 'Sam Spade,' formula, true, but the characters are so good you don't care and find yourself glad of the time it took to read it through. The humanity of the character doesn't dim his powerful, ever growing, powers as a wizard. You might run into Harry walking across your street and yell hello while he's out with Mouse. Jim Butcher creates a great character that you'd love to sit down with and have a beer and pizza, just to listen to what he's been up to today. This is why I like the character Harry Dresden. When I was young, even famous athletes, like Joe Namath, seemed like people you might encounter at your neighborhood bar once in awhile, famous but one of us mugs. I said no, the new multimillion dollar players don't seemed to be anything like me. Someone asked me if I caught the Super Bowl on television.
