What other book might you compare Dead Beat to and why? It also has a lot of Bob the Skull (my favorite character.) Definitely worth a listen. (I started on book 3 and was fine.) This story has is one where Harry is put against necromancers. Each of these stories can be read as stand alone, but are better appreciated when you listen to the series. This is one of my favorites from the series thus far. I've been hooked on this series since a friend recommended it. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I almost didn't, and that would have been a shame. I do recommend starting at the beginning, though.
The narration leaves many perpetual favorites in the dust. So, to sum it up: the stories, though a bit on the genretastic side, are getting better. This is not an exaggeration if you think carefully about the text and Marsters' delivery, you'll see that his subtlety is pretty impressive. If the occasional spell intonation seems overblown, you just accept it because ever other thing he says is pitch-perfect. Some of my favorite narrators are weak on voice characterization Marsters is a genius at it. The plots improve by degree, but there's only so much one can do with this material Butcher does quite a lot. The writing has gotten sharper, even more organically witty. Fast forward to book 7, Dead Beat, and things have improved. James Marsters' (I swear I only recognized him after starting the first book) performance was credible, but plagued with weird mispronunciations. When I started the Harry Dresden series, the stories were a bit thin and the production values were pretty poor. Fantastic, I am already tempted to listen to it again. I always make a point of listening to the Harry Dresdan books on audio because James Marsters does such a wonderful job with the narration and this book was no exception. Action packed and full of Harry's wonderful friends with the new addition of Butters, the polka loving waif of a coroner that grows a back bone while hanging out with our hero. The war is still raging against the red court vampires and a terrible new threat has come to Chicago threatening to kill thousands.
He is adjusting to life with a crippled hand and is struggling to over come fears he is not even aware that he has. Harry is learning to adapt to having and living with his brother, Thomas. The book is unpredictable and ties together loose ends from previous books. Zombies, necromancers, animated dinosaurs, old and new enemies grace the pages of this book as Harry struggles to keep his friend Karrin Murphy's reputation safe.
Absolutely brilliant book, the best in the series so far! Harry Dresdan is funnier than ever and becomes even more of a bad ass.
