“One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves,”(Cinescape) the Dresden Files have become synonymous with action-packed urban fantasy and nonstop fun. Fool Moon continues the adventures of Jim Butcher’s most famous—and infamous—reluctant hero… in the Chicago phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn’t been able to dredge up any kind of work: magical, mundane, or menial.
Just when it looks like he can’t afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise. There’s a brutally mutilated corpse, and monstrous animal markings at the scene. Not to mention that the killing took place on the night of a full moon. Harry knows exactly where this case is headed. Take three guesses—and the first two don’t count…

It was old fashioned and not in a good way.
This is a really fun series!
I have read all of Harry’s adventures and all the sh*t that he’s had to go through as the Wizard of Chicago… This is the series that started it all for me as far as reading UF novels… Too bad that this amazing wizard can’t catch a break… Maybe if Harry had met Callie…… Between Jim Butcher and Shayne Silvers, makes me wish I were a wizard… Let the adventures abound…
Loved this book!! Can’t wait for the next Harry Dresden novel!
If Jim Butcher is the author you should read it. It’s as simple as that. That being said, this is a great introduction to his work. Read it now.
I love all of the Dresden Files series. Jim Butcher has reworked Chicago (and the rest of the world) into a melting pot of mythical creatures and humans who treat some like celebrities, some like interlopers and some like prey. These are adult books for wizardry fans.
I loved Fool Moon and can’t wait until the next sequel comes out!!! Jim Butcher is a wonderful writer.
I love this author!
I’ve loved this book series since it originally came out. Dresden has an entertaining and dry senses of humor. I also love the ongoing storyline as characters.
I love the Dresden Files series. Great characters. Great story lines.
Love the whole series, Butcher builds an impossible scenario, then delivers a solid conclusion.
Harry Dresden is one of the best fictional characters to come along. Maybe ever.
All of the Harry Dresden books mach this review, they’re all good and laugh-out-loud funny in places. Certainly action packed.
I love Dresden, and the messed up world he lives in, and how hard he works to be the good guy. I love how each story builds on the bones of the one before, and things he did, good and bad, have consequences that resonate several books later.
Read Dresden, read them all.
Not the best, but still better than most
Jim Butcher has created a top notch hero – harry dresden
Fool Moon is the first book of the Dresden Files series. In it, we are introduced to several key characters for the series, as well as getting a creative take on werewolves of various types. Set in Chicago, in a sort of never-when, Dresden, practicing wizard, is tough, gritty, stubborn and sometimes a little fool-hardy. He takes on Chicago’s supernatural underworld with a little help from friends.
Jim Butcher writes a lot of good stuff have read most of Dresden (watched the TV show even) and all the Fury stories – thought they were excellent also. Have even read the Spiderman book which I liked also. Not into short stories so haven’t read any of the short story books.
I love The Dresden Files, but of all the books this one is a bit to slog through. Some interesting points and still worth the read.
Butcher is my favorite author; the Dresden series my absolute favorite of all time; if you start you will want more; sorry the series had to end.
