Grave Peril is probably the worst Dresden files book. It lacks the focus of Storm Front and the werewolves of Fool Moon but thanks to Jim Butcher's "well I have no budget as it's a book" approach to action meaning every fight is HUGE and his fun playfulness with established mythology meant the book was insane fun even in its most rubbish moments.
I'm gonna take a break from Dresden Files (I usually read a book by someone else between each of the Dresden Files as to not get burnt out) and read City of Bones. I actually thought the movie was a lot of fun, but it felt cramped with how much the film was trying to cram in, so I'm hoping the pick your own pace of a novel should allow the book to be as great as the movie almost was. |
I've read Sherlock Bones Vol 2 a while back, but didn't get to writing about it until this time.
What I'm liking about this series is so far it has more variety than the Phoenix Wright manga which I've finished some time ago. Having a pervert going around pretending to be a doctor so he can take advagege of young girls makes him a sick creep, but watching Sherlock take him down was worth it. Constant murders wear you down after a while but Capcom is known for being stubborn with doing ideas over and over again. Ultra Street Fighter 4 anyone? The mystery of how Sherlock remembers his old life despite being a dog, not to mention if his owner is indeed John Watson reborn or if Sherlock's claims are true compels me to get the next volume so I can learn the answers. If they'll be answered.... |
City of Bones is already drastically better than the movie. The movie had loads of action, the book even more. Really, most importantly though, is the pace. Everything in the movie happened too fast, and usually in clumps of exposition. Those clumps of exposition still (sadly) happen in the book, but less frequently and there is more space for things to play out more naturally.

Read a little more of City of Bones, it is very different to the movie, and much darker.

Did anyone else find Grant Morrison's run on Action Comics confusing, or am I just stupid?

I finished City of Bones, it's weird that it's lumped into the Twilight crowd despite being nothing like those books. Sure there is a love triangle, but it feels largely tacked on, with the main focus of the book being not romance, but very gory violence. Which is fine by me.
I'm onto the second book now, it's a lot less action packed but it's a direction continuation from the first book so it's dealing with my the fallout and so on. |
