I read all of the Dresden books. Thought they all were awesome. I'd say they do get a bit better, but they're all similar in that Harry ends up with a bunch of different dilemmas at once, sometimes they all fall into place and sometimes there are red herrings as you put it. Overall a great series, definitely worth reading.

is there a link for this book?
i started reading the falcon banner after that topic which dark posted a little time ago,i don't read books like go and find them,if 2 or more people say that this book is good i go and try them.All the books i've ever read were recomanded to me.smile!

ok thanks

just finnished the first book, and it was pretty good. I have 9 books so i'l probably read the next book tomoro

Laugh I don't bite, but I do sometimes get violent thoughts to those who don't think I'll admit.

I've checked, the RNIB don't have it sadly. From Audible it was over £20, or for about £8 or so you can get a subscription you can cancel any time and get one book a month at no extra cost. That's the way I went, on the basis I can get other books and so on to try. They do radio stuff too. It was unabridged.

It is as much a supernatural thing as crime, in fact it is more like crime flavoured supernatural than anything. Magic and the supernatural becomes increasingly significant as you go through the book, and at the end it is 90% magic. It just happens that the police caught wind of it too. I didn't specify some of the more interesting points because it'd spoil the plot, lets just say one faction that was threatened by the killings had strong supernatural links.

No minimum length, which was why I tried it. It is well worth checking their selection though.

True it does sort of start out like a murder story, but as it progresses it just gets more and more magical in nature. As to the revolver, well that's just common sense. He uses it as a backup to his magic.

No mike we don't.

Where as in the Us, government funds and time is put into making literature accessible, ---- and so long as it's in an accessible format the the publishing industry can stick it, in the Uk up until 2005, the government said it wasn't their responsability to make accessible books, ---- it was left up to charities, who had to A, obtain permission from the publishers (most often by having to buy the copywrites), B, raise their own funds for recording etc, and C, have a vague idea of what to record.

I can tell innumerable stories of the Rnib (royal national institute for the blind), recording books in random order, not finishing series, and generally paying no attention to the book requrests or preferences anyone with a visual imparement under the age of 60.

Then of course, there were cases, ---- Steven Kings' dark tower series being one, where the publishers refused to allow any accessible versions to be produced because they wish to produce their own, often abridged, exaubitantly priced audio versions, ---- or were vaguely planning to in the future.

From 2005, the law was changed to permit producton of books in accessible format without the publishers' permission, ---- but the rnib is pretty much stil toeing the line as far as publishers wishes go. Smaller charities such as calibre aren't, but they don't get even a quarter of the donations or support the rnib do, ---- and the rnib I've said, refuse to even notice that there are blind people who aren't eldily, ---- the amount of spam they give out about wanting people to leave donations to them in their wills is insane!

The book situation in this country is pretty bad, ----and it drives me up the wall to tell the truth.

this is also why, while I'm against coppying audio games, I'm quite happy with coppying audio books, ---- afterall it's not like the money grabbing gits at the large publishing houses will miss it.

by the same tocan though, I will fully support, ---- and have donated money to, efforts like podiobooks and lulu.com, wich are fairer to the authors, more accessible, and do not stop me from reading the books I want the way the mainstream publishers do.

I did guess as much when I was out there on holiday earlier this year.

On the pluss side people seemed really friendly, ---- though of course staying in a country for a week doing the tourist bits up the nile gives a bit of a lopsided view I should imagine.

For the explained reasons, I'm considdering going into the hole torrents thing myself.

i have heard with D&D their not planning to release pdfs of the fourth ed stuff for fear of copywrite and because they want people to buy the print originals, ---- which wouldn't surprise me, the money grabbing gits.

I also recently sent an E-mail to the recent publishers of the reeditions of the fighting fantasy gamebook series, asking if they'd considder selling pdf versions of their stuff, ----- afterall, gamebooks certainly! can bennifit from being on computer with stats keeping programs, dice rollers etc, ---- apart from obviously being available to persons of reduced visability.

Predictably, I've got no response, ---- afterall, why bother about access issues when you can ignore them?

I must admit my faith in the integrity of the publishing industry is severely limited.

i got to book 6, and it does get alot better later on. Not to say it was bad in the begening

is the series complete?
