I'm all caught up on the Dresden books. It's probably my favorite series (albeit maybe neck and neck with Preston & Child's Pendergast series). I loved Changes. Thought it was a great book and definitely lived up to its name. That being said, I was pretty lukewarm to Ghost Story. In my opinion it is not the high point of the series, although I can appreciate the attempt at something different. However, I am most certainly eagerly awaiting whatever comes next to the world of Dresden and his friends (especially Mouse...Mouse rocks!)

Proven Guilty (Dresden #8)
Bob sounds different... Constantly calling Harry "Boss" and being more, perverted, lecherous, and creepy than usual.

I just read the first book ('The Devil You Know'), and I find it somewhat darker than the Dresden Files, but indeed quite similar. Thanks for the tip

I decided not to get Ghost Story just yet (Don't make the same mistake I did and read the blurb for this book before finishing Changes, it ruined the ending for me).
Alan, what's your opinion on it, is it imperative that I read it before Cold Days, or do you think I can skip it? |
