I read the books before I saw the series. I, too, was a little disappointed in the show and thought the humor was missing. However, the actress playing Murphy was exactly how I thought Murphy should be...unsmiling, demanding, and not a really good friend to Harry. Bob, I never pictured in my head as being a whole person. I prefer the images the words give me. Yeah, a young Jeff Goldblum, but not as goofy!!
The latest book Ghost Story is a complete departure from the rest but interesting. I'm not sure I like it. I'll have to read it again, and try to put it all together with the previous stories.
Still, I love Harry Dresden and will be sad when the series ends. Until then, I wait for the NEXT installment.
