Book Log

10. Grave Peril - Jim Butcher *

The next Dresden book builds on what has gone on before as well as giving us a new story line. As usual, very enjoyable - even if I want to smack Harry around a bit.

11. Blueberry Girl - Neil Gaiman

This was more of an illustrated poem than a story, but it was very nice. Originally written for Tori Amos and the birth of her daughter. Lovely illustrations from Charles Vess.

I like Harry. For all the crappy stuff that happened to him, he is an inherently good guy and tries to do the right thing even though it typically costs him.

My big problem with him is the number of time he gets himself or others into bigger trouble then need be - just because he's chosen to "protect" someone and not tell them everything that is going on.

Its been a while since I read that far back in the series, so I can't remember if they've covered how much he is 'allowed' to tell people.

[mikekn]

In book one he goes over not being allowed to talk about the White Consul, but that is the only restriction they've mentioned so far.

I agree - but it's such a consistent character trait/flaw. It's not just a plot contrivance.

Yep, which I guess is one reason why I still enjoy the books. Just because I think he's an idiot (or at least acts like one), doesn't mean I don't enjoy his adventures :)
