Storm Front

This is the first of a series of books collectively known as the Dresden Files authored by Jim Butcher. It is a bizarre combination of a wizard living in a very realistic Chicago and trying to make a living as a pseudo-detective.

I really enjoyed it. The book is not at all intended to be taken seriously. I find its comedy is much along the lines of The Gun Seller, if you have read that book, written by Hugh Laurie (from the TV show House.)

My bet is, if you enjoy House and you liked Harry Potter, Storm Front is just what you need for a good and easy read.
