Title: Backup (Novelette in the Dresden Files series)
Author: Jim Butcher
Number of Pages: 72 pages
Genre: Mystery/Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Book Number/Goal: 44/50 in 2009 (I'm going to lump this novelette in with the 5 other DF shorts that I've already read - plus the one after TC that is waiting to be read - in to one "book")
Review: The book is from Thomas Raith's POV and it was quite interesting to see Harry through the eyes of another character. The (brief) plot held my attention, but was almost secondary to the humor and perspective on Harry. Quite a nice little "bonus" in the series.
Additionally, I tried to read the graphic novel "Welcome to the Jungle" but I find that I can't get into the comic format. I have a difficult time reading the panels. My husband, on the other hand, who has been reading comics for almost 30 years, found it quite enjoyable. I think I can get him in to the series via the comics. Yay!
