RE: Book Review
(June 19, 2014 at 11:28 pm)GalacticBusDriver Wrote: Jim Butcher: "The Dresden Files" series (urban fantasy). Wizard at large with a spirit guide named Bob, who lives in a skull and has a libido roughly the size of Alaska. Hugely entertaining.

Tell me this: does the simplistic, exposition heavy narration style ever clear up? I recently cracked open the first one and I'm aware it's a long series, but jeez is that narration ever hard for me to swallow. The ideas look cool, but I dunno if I can wade through so many paragraphs of being told things rather than shown them.
