Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE the whole series, but if I'm gonna pick my lowest favorites, it's them. Much like yourself, I found myself detached from the story of White Knight, and wasn't a huge fan of the supporting cast, (excluding the regulars, of course). As far as Ghost Story, I dunno. Something about it just didn't work for me. I felt like I was watching an episode of LOST, where I was getting forty new questions for every half answer given with a quick "wind up" as the end of the book approached. Plus, I just didn't find the main villain Spoiler:
to be all that dramatic of a main bad guy. *Shrugs*

Hello...
Hi Helen, good to see you hanging out here every once-in-a-while!
After leaving that post I began thinking that I might just start a bit earlier than I'd been planning as lately I've noticed that I've been reading things a bit more slowly. |

After having listened to the audiobooks for The Dresden Files, James Marsters is firmly imprinted in my mind as Harry's voice.... with Terrence Man as Bob from the short-lived t.v. series.

Terrence Man was PERFECT as Bob. Lost year I started the Iron Druid books but save for Oberon and a couple other supporting characters I got bored or perhaps just overwhelmed bythe vocabulary. Plus they kept missing the sweetspot Harry Dresden and pals fill. So from more on I will accept no substitutes. |

I'm thinking I'm gonna start soon as well. I had restarted Storm Front a few months ago, but got sidetracked. Maybe I'll read it out loud to Molly. |
