This Book is Currently in the Wild!

Ok, so this isn't the best book in the world, but it was still a lot of fun to read. Butcher gives Harry Dresden such a strong distinct voice, he's impossible not to like; at least, we sympathize with him and shake our heads in incredulous dismay when he does something not so smart. I'd seen the show on TV, caught a few minutes of it, and flipped on, but this book grabbed my attention much more. A great summer read; I'll be looking for others in the series.

RELEASE NOTES:
Left on the mantle, replacing Animal Liberation. Look for the orange post-it on the cover.
From the back cover:
Harry Dresden--Wizard: Lost items found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, or Other Entertainment.
Harry Dresden is the best at what he does. Well, technically he's the only at what he does. So when the Chicago P.D. has a case that transcends mortal creativity or capability, they come to him for answers. For the "everyday" world is actually full of strange and magical things--and most of them don't play well with humans. That's where Harry comes in. Takes a wizard to catch a--well, whatever.
There's just one problem. Business, to put it mildly, stinks. So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry's seeing dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry's name. And that's when things start to get...interesting.

I've seen the TV show, and I'm interested in reading the adaptation of it.
I haven't read it yet, but I found it on the Wachovia ATM in the UC at William and Mary.

RELEASE NOTES:
Retroactive release notes: in University Center, on top of Wachovia ATM, which has made a surprisingly good release spot.
Like the original reader said, it's not a fantastic piece of literature, but it certainly is a good summer read -plenty of good vs. evil, personal conflicts, and badassery to keep the story interesting. I also would like to read the rest of the series.
