If you like detective fiction with a twist, then this is a good book. Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is a private detective in Chicago. He's tall, messy and has a habit of making electronic devices go haywire. Harry is also a wizard. The book is sort of Sherlock Holmes meets Harry Potter.
If you've seen the SciFi channel series "The Dresden Files", then you have a bit of the idea behind the books that the show was based on....but just a very little bit. Storm Front is darker, grittier and more angsty by far than the TV series. I would have preferred more back story so I knew, beyond his one youthful indiscretion related to a violation in the laws of magic use.
It was an enjoyable read and a series where I may pick up another if my stack of reading gets low enough.
