Book Description
Could a werewolf be loose in Chicago? Common sense says no. The grisly evidence says yes. So does Harry Dresden. And with his weird connections, he should know.

A new enemy,
By
This review is from: Fool Moon: Book two of The Dresden Files (Mass Market Paperback)
The second book in the fantasy crime novels, The Dresden files. It took me only four days to read this book because I loved it so much. It had a slightly different feeling to the first book of the series, Storm Front, it was still excellent.Wizard, Harry Dresden learns about a new supernatural creatures and the different forms in which they can appear. With his quick wit and humour the book sucks readers into a new battle with the supernatural world, with old characters playing larger parts, developing them in the readers mind and overall storyline. You will be still guessing until the last few pages. If you're a fan or new to The Dresden files, you'll be sure to enjoy this book and have difficulty putting it down. I rate this book 5/5 Priscilla

Jim Butcher does it again!!,

This review is from: Fool Moon: Book two of The Dresden Files (Mass Market Paperback)
Well, I have loved the first book on Dresden Files and, you know, a sequel ei not mormaly as good as the first one. But this time, it was even better. We are learning more about Harry Dresden as the book goes, and the more I learn about him, the more I like him. Definitively, a great book, better than the first one.

A sophomore effort, but still great fun...,

This review is from: Fool Moon: Book two of The Dresden Files (Mass Market Paperback)
When I told my wife that this book was even more action-packed than the first title in the series, Storm Front, she looked at me and said, "You're kidding." As much of a roller-coaster ride as Storm Front was, Fool Moon seems to be going twice as fast, in three times as many directions. The premise, again, is that Harry Dresden--who seems as if he were written by the love-child of Dashiell Hammett and JK Rowling--is the only real wizard in the Chicago phone book; he's a contractor with the Chicago PD (though his relationship with the department is somewhat strained since he withheld information from his buddy, Detective Murphy, in the previous book).Having said that, Fool Moon feels a bit formulaic. I'm not giving anything away by saying that all of the nasties in the book are variations on the werewolf mythologem. Early on, Harry discovers that there are a certain number of such variations, and, lo and behold, that's exactly how many different kinds of baddy he's up against. Too, Harry spends much of the book promising to tell Murphy everything that's happening, and then either going off on a quest-lette without telling her, or holding back critical pieces of information. I began wanting to hit Harry over the head and tell him he had a commitment problem. Even so, Mr. Butcher spins the tale wonderfully, at a breathtaking pace. Neither I nor my wife was able to figure out exactly who was behind everything until very late in the game, and, even then, the plot took some unexpected twists. Even with some of its shortcomings, Fool Moon is full of surprises, serendipitous moments of wonder, a little romance (provided by fringe journalist Susan Rodriguez, who seems to want to recreate Harry in the fashion image of The Matrix's Neo), a couple of wild action sequences (one that takes place in a Chicago police station shows Butcher's willingness to go WAY outside the lines) and hints of pieces of Harry's past, and of things to come in this still-promising series.
