OK, I've heard a lot about The Dresden Files on this and other forums and decided to take a look. Until this week I had neither read the novels or watched the short lived TV series. So, I went on a marathon Dresden binge.
Decided to watch the TV series first so as not to be prejudiced by the books. Overall, I gave it a fair to good rating and thought it was getting better during the last few episodes. Shame the show didn't get more of a chance. It didn't follow the novels exactly, but so what? Variety is the spice of life. Fans could have had 2 versions of Dresden. Alternate universe Dresden's if you will. Could have been interesting to see the different versions unfold. Oh, well.
I'm on the 3rd novel now and must say I really like them so far. An excellent blend of fantasy and noir fiction. What more can a guy ask for except a harem and free beer!
