If someone isn't that far in the series, it's too late.<br /><br />My nephew really liked the Codex Alera series, and from the comments at the back of Butcher's books, it sounds as if that's the series he prefers.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-40835489266346072792011-08-13T13:12:26.030-05:002011-08-13T13:12:26.030-05:00Spoil?

Oh no, the curse of being a fast reader, I finished it not long after it arrived in my mailbox! hehe... already waiting for "Cold Days!"<br /><br />I tend to exhaust an author when I find one, so probably onto the Codex Alera series by Jim after putting the latest Mercy Thompson/Patricia Briggs to bed. :)Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893049013292098412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-46360358018941159932011-08-12T18:14:44.226-05:002011-08-12T18:14:44.226-05:00Thank you, Dan.

I love Harry's sense of humor. The books wouldn't be as good without that.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-48126283891885862782011-08-12T16:22:36.489-05:002011-08-12T16:22:36.489-05:00Having been a late arrival to the Dresden Files my...Having been a late arrival to the Dresden Files myself, I can't recommend it more, starting from the beginning. "Changes", the previous book to "Ghost Story" was my first "new" book in the series once I had caught up on the previous 11 books.<br /><br />The whole series is excellent and I find Jim Butchers humor just too much fun. My girlfriend just laughs as she hears me chuckle as I'm reading, or even having to set the book down to just laugh and share the latest Harry quip.<br /><br />As for staying home, hehe, that or don't plan on getting much sleep that night before work that you do start reading it.<br /><br />Thanks for the review Lesa!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893049013292098412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-3610806044966330592011-07-31T13:18:19.632-05:002011-07-31T13:18:19.632-05:00Yes, Liz.
