 Fantastic book! August 26, 2008
Truly one of the best books in The Dresden Files.
Small Favor feels like Harry is maturing and facing up to many of his new-found responsibilities. The action is fast paced and very exciting!
excellent as usual August 20, 2008
I'm a big fan of this series and have not yet been disappointed.
This book is exciting from the very beginning to the end. Can't wait for
the next one. I will however recommend that you start at the beginning
of the series to meet all the characters and learn the plot. I highly recommend this book. It is pure reading pleasure!!
Dresden Files - Small favor August 11, 2008
I loved this latest Dresden Files novel. I love all of them, but this one was great. This is the one a really fine movie could be made of, in its entirety. The fight at the Shedd Aquarium would certainly work, as well as the final scene on the little island, with Harry strangling Nicodemos.

Jim Butcher's SMALL FAVOR is set in the dead of an icy Chicago winter but the plot operates on the same principle of a car with no brakes hitting the ice at 60mph. Harry Dresden, Chicago's favorite magical hero, has the Summer Queen of the Sidhe gunning for him when Mab the Winter Queen makes him an offer he can't refuse: he's got to help criminal kingpin John Marcone. In addition, the Denarians are back in town.
Fight scenes go by faster than snowflakes in a blizzard. There's some really clever action in this book! Fortunately, Harry has the aid of the Knights of the Swords, policewoman Karrin Murphy, his apprentice Molly, his vampire half-brother Thomas and Someone Else. Harry is always good company and his friends are welcome any time. In the small interludes between frantic action, almost casual insights into love, treachery, loyalty, family and religion detonate like hand grenades of wisdom.
I like the way Harry Dresden continues to learn and develop in front of our eyes. He's a man so caught up in action that he misses some of the subtler aspects of relationships--which his exasperated brother takes him to task for. Jim Butcher has left his loyal readers wondering if Harry is giving up on the idea of getting together with Karrin. I enjoyed everything about this book, while at the same time wishing for just a little more time with the inner Harry. I mean, come on, this is a book for adults. Did he or didn't he?
 Not quite up to the earlier ones August 3, 2008
Good page turning book, but I never got a true reason for all the W's. Why was Summer suddenly trying to kill Harry? What is going to happen with Michael? Who destroyed the Winter Castle?
If the author can come up with a quick follow up book to answer all the questions that he posed, I would raise my rating. Waiting a year or more for the next one is a bit too much.
There were too much of the Fallen Angels to suit me. I personally enjoy the Vampire and Fae problems. The Fallen ones seem too hard to conquer without a large amount of Luck to come to play.
Will be interested when the next installment will arrive. And yes, I will be on the list to pre-purchase the volume.
