I never read the books (I am a video/movie type) however my wife did & loved them. She has filled me in as much as possible & thru this I began to enjoy the stories! While she wasn't thrilled with the show at first, I got her to accept that the show was the show, not the books, & for her to enjoy it for what it was instead of comparing the two. Since then we have watched the entire season/series, and we BOTH want more! While not as terrific as the books perhaps, but then so can be said of Harry Potter! (Anyone who has read those knows what I mean, and it was the same situation there for my wife & I as it was for Dresden Files! She read & I listened!) In fact Harry Potter was worse, as without my wife's help, the movies were actually hard to follow! With Dresden it wasn't even that bad at all! So if someone from some studio somewhere ever reads this, think about taking the risk to try this again! Let Harry grow his hair a bit perhaps , but that was the only real complaint everyone we know had! After watching the 1st season, we are left wanting more! And not some other Dresden "look-alike" story. Jim Butcher is the man for this! Let him do what he does best!
And others we know agree!
