My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
I first read this book when it came out in 2000. I knew Jim through a elist that we were both on for a different author's fans and he had mentioned that he was publishing his first novel. I picked it up to support an "online friend" and have been hooked on the world of Harry Dresden since.
I now read and/or listen to then entire series at least once a year. To be honest, being the first book in a series and the introduction of a new world so to speak (it takes place in modern Chicago but there's a lot of world building that still happens), the pace it a bit slow, but I personally don't care because I just love Jim's writing and the worlds he creates.
I'm constantly trying to get people to try this series and join me in the Dresdenverse.
