Published 2008 by Buzzy Multimedia Publishing Corp..

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is Chicago's only openly practicing wizard. He is also dead broke. His vast knowledge and magical skills are unfortunately matched by his talent for making powerful enemies and alienating friends. With little more than his integrity left, he accepts an offer of work from Lt. Karin Murphy of Chicago's Special Investigations Unit. He wants to redeem himself in Murphy's eyes and make enough money to quiet his rumbling stomach. Soon he finds himself pinned between trigger-happy FBI agents, shape-shifiting motorcycle gang members, a threatened mobster boss, and an heir to an ancient curse along with his primal fiance. Throw in environmental activists and a pair of young werewolves in love and you have something of Fool Moon.

du pop-corn au poil

C'est le souci avec la méthode d'écriture américaine, c'est dynamique, bourré d'action, parfois inattendu et avec des rebondissements. Mais comme dans une série, quand vous êtes face au même schéma plusieurs fois, vous êtes plus difficile. Dans ce tome, la méthode "die hard" est encore plus poussée : dans la moitié du livre, le héros n'en peut plus de se prendre des blessures, de ne pas dormir (et pour cause il se passe des meurtres toutes les nuits), de sacrifier un à un de ses collifichets et de se mettre dans la mouise. A trop en mettre, on finit par ne plus y croire, on sait qu'un mcGuffin (élément sorti du chapeau) va venir sauver la situation à la dernière minute. J'ai donc moins apprécié la fin.

Le thème des loups garous est pourtant cher à mon coeur, mais le fait d'avoir mélangé plein de types de loups garous …

Review of 'Fool Moon' on 'Goodreads'

Enjoyed again. This one was slightly better than the first. They say the next book is where things kick into high gear...so here's hoping.

reviewed Fool Moon by Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files, #2)

Review of 'Fool Moon' on 'Goodreads'

I am rating this one lower than the first book in the series because in a way, it felt very formulaic. Murders, call Harry in, he finds a supernatural link he can't share with Murphy, etc.

It was basically the first book with another nemesis.

However, it was still an entertaining read and page-turner, and Jim Butcher tosses in new stuff about Harry that really want me as reader to delve deeper into his history.

Let's see if Grave Peril can toss some surprises at me.
