Eyes bleed instead of other... leakage. Double eww.

Harry has shown the most character development out of any other character I have ever read (IMO) of course that could just be because he has starred in like 11 of his on books but still the Harry from book 1 is not the same Harry in Turncoat, its a gradual progression and Im intrerested to see where he ends up.

True. Harry has in fact aged a decade more or less in the time of the books. JB even typically takes the step of confirming in each book that it's been a year since the previous book's events. He's picked up new tricks, gotten tougher and wiser and his relationships have changed accordingly. The Harry/Murphy dynamic has gone thru any number of changes, by example and without spoiling.

I suppose I agree with you. It seems he's just become much more jaded in his views of the world and is a lot more uncaring about how he gets to the root of things, just that he does.

I've just about finished Summer Knight, really looking forward to see how this pans out. Especially with Elaine and whatnot.

[Skywalker]

Wow, I think Assail and I are keeping pace in the Dresdenverse... I had to come to work this morning just as

Spoiler

Harry made it out of Elaine's age-old shield holding him in the quicksand Aurora left him to die in

just before the climax of Summer Knight.

So four books in, and hooked, am I. I still have the fifth book with me (a loaner), but I suspect I will have to go shopping this weekend for books 1 to 11 (or is it 12?). I strongly suspect I'll be caught up and hankering for #12 (or 13, as the case may be) in another couple of weekends...

First of all, f'yeah, its trippy all right.

Second of all, I blame my wife and damn job for dragging me away from the book kicking and screaming. You sir, are a sorry excuse for a reader if you could just leave the book and go check the forum.

GET BACK TO IT NOW. and don't spoil the end for me.

It is an awesome part of the end. But I liked

Spoiler

"For the Pizza Lord; Charge!"

better.

I'm reading Death Masks now, it's so sick. I can fly through these a book a day they're so addicting. lol

[Abyss]

Those two lines in SUMMER KNIGHT are pure wincrack in text form - funny, yet action-perfect - even in the midst of the awesome that is that finale. Butcher nailed it there, and then came DEATH MASKS....

I think that was the point where i decided Butcher likes to have a least 3-4 'movie moment' one-liners in every book. His dialogue is generally great fun, but the one-liners are priceless.

Another fun element of SUMMER KNIGHTS was

Spoiler

bringing the werewolves back as supporting characters and keeping them in the story

.

- Abyss, believes...

[RangerSG]

I'm on Blood Rites now. Unfortunately, my funds for Dresdencrack have temporarily dried up, so I'll have to wait a bit to get the rest of the series. Especially since I finally corrupt...er talked my wife into PnP RP and I'm getting Spirit of the Century.

That's being done by the same company doing the Dresden Files RPG too, with essentially the same rules.

[Traveller]

Damn thread makes me want to go out and get my next fix!

I finished Dead Beat a few weeks back, and I haven't got the next one as I'm trying to pace them a bit.

....resistance failing though!

[Abyss]

Giveitup. Resistance is futile. You cannot have come out of DEAD BEAT without a deep rooted need for more dresdencrack.

The throwaway lines in Dresden are almost as hilarious as Neal Stephenson's too. I was rolling today when I read his response to what he wanted on his vegetarian pizza.

Dead pigs and cows. Classic.

[Obdigore]

I like hte end of turn coat when Harry says:

Spoiler

'this is butters, his geek penis is larger than all of ours put together.'

[Abyss]

Yeah, i had a brief moment of like 'did butcher just use the word

Spoiler

'penis'

in a Dresden book? can he DO that???' but i got over it


I also liked back in PG - "

Spoiler

Get away from her, you bitch!"...

...
...and somewhere i can't remember where he does a riff on Indiana Jones' 'Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?' but i can't remember the exact line.


- Abyss... "Aptorians. Why did it have to be aptorians?"
