The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
Stiletto:
Uhhh...wasn't the show only 1 season, or am I missing something? It's too bad...because while I thought the show got off to a rocky start, it was getting pretty good by the end of the season. I'll give a sci-fi/fantasy show one year of leeway, since most Star Trek shows started out pretty bad - I mean DS9's first season was pretty horrendous but it ended up being my favorite trek show.
But I had read the books long before the show. Was definitely disappointed by the very limited use of magic in the first episodes of the show, and the hockey stick. Ugh.

Yes, only one season. It was getting really good though.
The only thing I was disappointed about (I watched the tv show first, read the books, then re-watched it again) was the not-so-much magic part and the magic part not closer to the books - I mean, it wouldn't kill for TVHarry to yell "Fuego" every now and then and stuff like that... but that's about it. I rather enjoyed the tv show.
I didn't mind the hockey stick - I thought it was cool. xD
airyie:
....loved the hocky stick. >_<
I had never heard of the author or the books before. I got really bored on youtube one day, went through a list of the available shows, found DF, and was like: OMG! This is good.
After watching the entire season, I ran out of my dorm, jumped on a bus, and spent 4 hours tracking down the first two books. Finally, I've finished all of them, and can NOT WAIT UNTIL APRIL!
=) yeah...I sort of get into things really easily.
j3nnee:
same deal with me as the last poster... loved the "hockey stick of doom" :D
And then I read the books as i finished up what there was of the show and read all 11 or so books and "backup" up till September / October and then now I'm rereading and I've gotten through 4 books and hope to make them last till April when Changes comes out. :D Enjoying them as much as the first time. Currently rereading GP. :D
