Ok, so I just finished reading a book that I've wanted to read for a while now. And I'm SO DAMNED ANGRY! To be honest, I haven't read a Dresden Files book that I don't like. But this one has me enraged, frustrated and just miffed. I mean... this book had me sitting here in tears for cripes sake.
Ghost Story
Jim Butcher
496 pages
First
of all, I suppose I should give you a slight reaction about the book in
general, a little blurb so to speak. If you're unfamiliar with The
Dresden Files Series, you're really missing out on some great reads.
This one is no different, but I do recommend that you start by reading
the series from the beginning or by reading the Side Jobs short story anthology. The book itself has a great storyline, and an interesting plot.
As
a reader, I found myself on the edge of my seat waiting to find out
what was going to happen. It's always nice to be able to feel that
excited about a book. As usual the characters are given enough
personality, that we can either like them or hate them. Not to mention,
there are enough hints at back story that even if it is the first book
that you're reading from the series, you can understand how and why
certain characters interact with each other the way that they do.
Personally
I find the complexity of the relationships and situations between the
various characters to be fascinating, as well as believable. There are
situations and characters that we can relate to. The basic story plot revolves around unraveling a mystery to find out who killed Harry Dresden , and why. Mysteries are always a good read, as they challenge us to figure out what happened.

IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK YET DON'T READ ANY FURTHER!

Ok,
so the basis of this book is that Harry Dresden is DEAD! Yeah, that's
what my reaction was too. How and why was he dead (I think I must have
skipped a book in the series because there's some stuff that was
mentioned that I must have missed in general.) NOT TO MENTION how frustrated I was trying to figure out why a ghost could use magic at all.
AND
ALL FOR WHAT? YEAH only to find out that he's not dead at all
>.<. I sat here crying my fool head off reading and feeling so sad
thinking that he was done for, only to find out that NUUUUUUUUUUU he
isna dead at all and that there is more. I hate when they do that! I mean why make us start preparing for the "END" of something wonderful, if you're only teasing us? It's not fair.
GRRRRR I hate
when books do that. Mess with your emotions by making you think someone
important you've come to look up to is gone. Yeah... Ok... anyway.... yeah >.> End rant ~_~
