Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Fool Moon Dresden Files Volume II Graphic Novel by Jim Butcher



I was weaned on comic books.  I lusted for them far sooner than any other recalled lust.   I credit comic books with infusing me with the love of reading.  They also must take credit for my writing as well.  Comic books were the foundation of my learning.   That makes it hard to explain that this is one of the few graphic novels I have ever read.  I read the book that inspired this graphic novel.   The book was better but this was good.  It has nuances that you miss in your own reading.  It is interesting to see how the illustrator show his vision of what is occurring and compare it to your own.  

The story has werewolves, a wizard, a cop, a mysterious criminal mastermind and some FBI agents with questionable credentials.  It is traditional Butcher with Harry Dresden way over his head in violent intrigue. 

The illustrations are darker than I see the story.   Color and shading can infer emotions.  I didn’t find the book as dark as the graphic novel.   I suspect that I would find Jim Butcher’s work appealing regardless of the venue.

I recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
