I dunno about that, it wasn't that great a story either, and I came out of it without really caring much about the characters. I read it on Wednesday and it was a very standard story, no really juicy or original bits to it, its very obvious why it's being made into a film.
I started the Dresden Files yesterday, half way through Fool Moon now >.> it's very reminiscent of Castle lol.... still, very enjoyable (I totally splurged and bought all 13 of them this morning XD)
NB: I'm strangely down and a little cranky at the moment, so I hope my opinions are overly critical. :\
EDIT: damnation it Eric, now I've read 3 of them ....
