Harry Dresden is my husband.

Yes, I know. To my utter despair. Let me know if you ever file for divorce.

Take out the asterisks in your html spoiler tags and you're good to go.

(Sarah, don't read that spoiler from JD! LOL!)

I will never divorce Harry. :)

You have a cloning machine? Do you take orders? How much do you charge for cloning the standard UF aggravating asshole?

I don't care, I'd do anything for Harry. (view spoiler)[Even die a slow, horrible, painful death. Haha. (hide spoiler)]

Too late, hahaha. I didn't think it was an actual spoiler for the series, so I clicked;)

Never say never. You never know.

For you, no charge!

/shrugs. Same thing goes for Sam Winchester, it's just common knowledge by this point xD

Steven wrote: "For you, no charge!"

Really?! Wow. When do we start? Should I send you a list?

I'm clueless, Ashley, you have to tell me who the hell Sam Winchester is;)

OH sorry. Sam Winchester from the Supernatural tv series

I'll just send one of each. I've covered pretty much everyone you could possibly want. :)

One of each? Steven, are you sure that'll be enough?

She can request duplicates on the ones she likes the most, if she feels the need.

It's a cloning machine... she can have 15 of each if she likes. :)

All this talk about marrying Harry...no love for Bob the Skull?!? C'mon, ladies, he's funny, AND he loves romance novels!

The, err, adulty times would be hard though. Of course, he could possess whoever you wanted him to.........................................................................................................................

That doesn't help much, actually, since I never watch TV, but I've seen the guy's face before. So that makes me only half clueless, right? Right. Haha.

One will NEVER be enough.

OMG. 15 of each. I feel like I've just won the lottery. I'll take two Harrys for now, but I'll definitely have 15 Caleb Shepperds. You start working on those while I put the rest of the list together.

Not sure if you mean the non-review or our delightfully entertaining comments, but thanks either way:P

I do love Bob but (a) he kind of lacks limbs, which can be problem when the time comes to show the luuuurrrrve and (b) romance novels = please kill me somebody.

Nice try, David, but you will never manage to keep me away from Harry:P

The, err, ad..."

Hahahaha. I hadn't read your comment when I replied to David, and that's the first thing I thought of, too. We need limbs!!! You do make an interesting point about Bob being able possess anyone though...Very, VERY interesting. Now if he'd give up the silly romance novels, I'd definitely consider snatching him up for my harem.

What a crappy review!

Nah, just kidding. The review is great. Michael remains like this through the whole series. If you somehow manage to survive until the end of book 7 (Dead Beat) you will be treated with the most epic scenes in UF ever (yes, including KD). Survival would not be easy though...

It's not crappy? Damn. I did try!:P

I really have a problem with Michael's character, and I'm actually reconsidering continuing with the series because of him. I'd like to give Harry a chance to enter the harem again, but Michael really is a bit too much for me to take. I might give books 3 a try some time this summer, but I'm in no hurry to do so...

As for the most epic scene in UF: it's impossible. Nothing beats KD. Or Pippa DaCosta or SM Reine.

PS: thanks!;)

Sarah I've missed you!

<3

I totally love Bob the Skull.

For real? Dang. I may have to plod through...

Terrific review, Sarah :)

Michael gets way better, especially the more you get to know of him and his family. Plus, you'll miss out on some great books and characters if you don't continue. And some of the coolest villains in all of UF.

Plus, Evgeny is totally correct. One of the most epic scenes in all of UF history takes place at the end of Dead Beat.

I forgot about Butters in Dead Beat. Another great scene.

I've missed you too, Jess!! It sucks that I can't be around more these days:( I miss the glorious times when we were plotting to take over the world with the help of our deadly yet colorful shrimp army!!

I'd like to see you finish book 3 first. Haha.

You mean Michael stops being his gloriously righteous self and no longer lectures Harry 24/7? If that's the case, then I might give book 4 a try..maybe;) I really cannot stand Michael and Charity, which will make it difficult for me to continue with the series. No matter what Evgeny and you say about book 7. And no matter how cool the villains are...

Sorry, Steven, I know how much you love this series and wish I could be as enthusiastic about it as you are:(

From my POV Michael does not get better. Charity gets worse.

There was a point where I finally started to like Charity...unfortunately, it didn't happen until Book 8!

Steven wrote: "One of the most epic scenes in all of UF history takes place at the end of Dead Beat. "

Totally agree with Steven here! Also, Sarah, even though book 3 was a let-down for you, you may still enjoy Book 4. Those tricky Fae are far more fun to read about than Michael & Charity!

It stinks that summer is the time when I can be around, and its your busy time:( I will probably hardly be around in the fall at all. I will be off saving the world one sick person at a time:P

You really can't discount 12 books in the series just because one of the minor characters that isn't even in every book irritates you, can you?

In my opinion, the more you get to know Michael and Charity, the more you understand why they are the way they are, the less irritating they are. They come across, TO ME, as less "holier than thou" as they do earlier on, and come across more as good people trying hard to do the right thing in a world that doesn't appreciate the right thing.

My advice to you, Sarah, would be to give a few more books a chance. Michael is extremely underdeveloped in book three (I mean, seriously, when he first shows up, Harry already knows him and the reader is like WHO THE HECK IS THIS GUY?), but book four doesn't even have Michael, if I recall correctly. And then book five you meet other Knights of the Cross and get more Marcone... Michael and Charity don't appear in every book, for sure. And you don't want to miss out on all the awesome just for them, do you?

The remaining cast of awesome minor characters (Thomas, Butters, Molly, Marcone, the Greywardens, the Council members, the Alphas, Murphy, Bob, Mister, Mouse, the FAE! etc) should more than make up for one or two irritating characters, right?

I've just seen so many people give up around book three when books four and later really kick things up and get so much better that it kills me. Even some hardcore UF fans. *sigh*

You also have to remember that books one and two were written and book three was almost done before Butcher got a buyer for the series, so they didn't near as much the editing, etc, that the rest got... so they're bound to be less stellar than the rest.

Don't give up. You don't want to make Steven cry, do you?

Also, my humble advice would be, STOP COMPARING ALL SERIES WITH EITHER KD OR THE BLACK COMPANY!!!! NONE WILL MEASURE UP, SO JUST ENJOY THEIR INFERIORITY!!!! Fuuuuu, I am tired now after providing this peace of wisdom... You can thank me later in the privacy of our home ^_^

What? One more vote for "most epic scene in all of UF?" You guys are killing me:P

Did you think mentioning the fae would motivate me to read book 4, my dear David? It might have, it I didn't hate the silly fairies. Haha. They are probably my least favourite sups;)
