Reseñas de la Crítica

"Butcher's latest maintains the momentum of previous Dresden outings and builds the suspense right up to a rousing conclusion." ( Booklist)

Enjoyable if not a little underwhelming

What made the experience of listening to Dead Beat the most enjoyable?

Easily the answer to that question is James Marsters. His performance in these novels is some of the best narration that I have ever heard.

What did you like best about this story?

The early chapters pace and sense of humor.

Which scene was your favorite?

An altercation in a book store.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it was. The pace is fast and with James's voice I could have easily done just that.

Any additional comments?

This book does have a rather silly ending. The first half is great the second is okay. I would say this was a middle of the road for Dresden.

Best of the series so far

This one was amazing! Higher stakes than anything before, fantastic battle scenes, hilarious conversations while riding a freaking T. Rex into battle. 5 stars!

Amazing story

The dresden files is my favorite series and I've read a few hundred books or so.

keeps getting better and better

I love it the world-building is amazing characterization is astounding and that plot twist was phenomenal. I still hate Morgan though, I hope it gets hit by a truck.

My favorite book in the series so far!

The climax to this book is absolutely bonkers and I loved every second of it.

At this point you're either on the Dresden train or you're not. This one holds up to the others, possibly better. Harry's story is really getting juicy. Can't wait for the next one!

Great series and amazing narration can’t ask for more

This was my favorite book in the series so far. I have been hooked since I listened to the first one a month ago or so and I am now starting book 9.

Still enjoying the series.

I guess I'm past the "trying it out phase" of I'm on book 7 or 8 and I've gotten at least one of the Dresden books with my precious credit each month. haven't wanted my money or my time back. not even once. yet.

Best one yet

The series has hit an unprecedented stride and I find myself making excuses to stay up, buy new credits and start the next one!

tons of fun

this book was full of fun twists and turns never a dull moment an absolute Delight.

James Marsters does it BEST

I love this series, but after reading the first four, I switched to Audible. James Martsters is the BEST narrator I have come across. He does all the voices and is great with accents! Dead Beat is a good story within itself, and adds to the continuing complex relationships Harry has in his life. My favorite parts of the book are when he talks to his Dad and Sue. The author has such fun writing the ending to this book, it is hilarious.
