I only read when my OCD kicks in
I enjoy reading, however, the bulk of reading only occurs while I am in an OCD focus zone. Last year I read over 70 books but I didn't pick up a book from August 2013 until March 25, 2014... I have already read 3 books this year!
Storm Front (The Dresden Files, Book 1)
Storm Front is book one of the Dresden files. Jim Butcher's first major publication and launched his publishing career. This book would fall into the category of modern fantasy.Summary: Harry Dresden. Wizard detective for hire.This story starts out with a struggling detective trying to pay the rent, keeping food on the table, and trying to stay out of trouble. Harry has to unravel the mystery of who murdered with magic.
Breakdown Review:
Storyline: I give 4 out of 5 stars Original. Keeps you going, there are no dull pages.
Writing style: 4 out of 5 stars. Jim Buthcer's writing style is wrapped in irony, comical one liners, and at the same time the pages flow together. Jim has a very simple writing style that enables most readers to down this book in a single setting.
Depth/Inspiration: 3 out of 5 stars. Nothing inspiring to this story but does have the "inspiration" of escape. You are certain to forget about the world around you and get sucked into Harry's Chicago.
Entertainment/Education value: 5 out of 5 stars. Pure entertainment. It is unfortunate the TV series was terrible. Once you start this book I found it impossible to stop. Walking home from work I found myself grabbing my kindle and reading as I walked.
