Publisher Description
My name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Conjure by it at your own risk. I'm a wizard. I work out of an office in midtown Chicago. As far as I know, I'm the only openly practicing professional wizard in the country. You can find me in the yellow pages, under Wizards. Believe it or not, I'm the only one there.
With rent past due and a decent meal becoming an issue of some importance, Harry needs work, and soon. A call from a distraught wife, and another from Lt. Murphy of the Chicago PD Special Investigation Unit makes Harry believe things are looking up, but they are about to get worse, much worse. Someone is harnessing immense supernatural forces to commit a series of grisly murders. Someone has violated the first law of magic: Thou Shalt Not Kill. Tracking that someone takes Harry into the dangerous underbelly of Chicago, from mobsters to vampires, while he himself is under suspicion of the crimes.
Customer Reviews
Had to get used to Narrator
I will agree with a previous review that the Narrator sounds disinterested and bored. However, I did get used to it and soon realized that since the book is written in the first person, the Narrator IS Harry. So, when you really think about it, the Narrator is doing an amazing job. The more you get to know Harry, the more you see that he is the one that's disinterested and bored. The narration fits perfectly with Harry's character. As for the content of the book, very entertaining. I will definately move on to the 2nd installment in the series.
Finally!!!
I have been waiting MONTHS for this, as the audiobooks of The Dresden Files are harder to come by than you think. Not only is the story impeccable, with smart, sharp humor and a fun plot, but James Marsters is the best narrator possible. He sounds exactly how you would picture Harry Dresden and Bob the Skull to sound! It also doesn't hurt that he has a fantastic voice, the kind you could listen to as he reads the phonebook. Excellent buy!!!!
Amazing introduction to a fantastic series!
Harry Potter step aside, Harry Dresden is in town! This is a fantastic story that follows the cases of advertised Wizard, Harry Dresden, as he protects innocent people from the supernatural and magical things that fill our world. He himself has a curse upon him, and is being carefully watched by the White Council, who regulate wizards and magic.
This is an amazing story, perfect for any adult fan of fantasy, mythos, suspence, investigative stories, or even the arcane. The narrator does a fantastic job performing all the roles believably and especially filling the shoes of Dresden.
I highly reccomend this story, you will be glad you bought it.
