Brief Cases

The stories are all good, as most Dresden Files are, though I’d read several of them before. I especially liked the ones told from other character’s points of view. Mouse’s is the last & the best.

Short stories by Jim Butcher. Backgrounds on minor characters. I meant to read one story per day as a reward for clearing out my mom's quilting room. I swallowed the book in one day. I still have to clear out the quilting room.

It always surprises that butcher can write female characters so well. And supernatural dogs although it is hard to say how close that gets. Dresden stories are good because they are not just about Dresden.

Jim Butcher does not disappoint. There are some old stories here, but woven in quite a few new ones and multiple perspectives not just Harry. Well worth it to get the peek into so many supporting character’s lives.

As always, Dresden does not disappoint. I couldn't put it down, so I read it way too quickly, but that is a perennial problem with this series. Fans will be delighted with the book. And if you are new to the series, be prepared to purchase more (or like me, all) of this series asap. There is no cure for the Dresden Files.

Love Jim Butcher's writing. He is an engaging and imaginative author. These stories are light-hearted but add a bit more depth to Harry Dresden and the characters that surround him. It is not as edgy as the Harry Dresden books so don't look for that quality. Good fun summer reading.

Left me hungry for more Dresden books. These stories cover a book or two before Changes all the way till after Skin Trade. I really got into these stories, trading up at Zoo Day, the most 'recent' tale covering Dresden, Maggie, and Mouse. Opens the world a bit more and leaves sooo much room for growth. I really enjoyed this whole book, fantastic read.

Excellent and enjoyable, especially the stories from the point of view of Luccio, Molly, Butters and especially the last one written from Harry,Maggie and Mouse’s viewpoints. Wonderful. Highly recommended. Please do more from other viewpoints!!!

Very entertaining. Enjoyed the multi-person viewpoint in that last set. Really filled in background and growth of many secondary characters. Highly recommend even though shorts like things are not usually my thing

As ever this work delivers with magic and heart, filling in gaps of mystery in a wonderful fantasy world as close enough to our own as to be more realistic and amusing....only to whet our appetites further for the next addition:enjoy.

Even if you follow The Dresden Files religiously, this is still worth the buy for the original short story "Zoo Day". This is probably one of the best short stories than Butcher has ever done, because you get it from 3 different POVs.

love the teenage Bigfoot stories! I recommend reading all three in a row. Jim butcher shows off his classic fun and intriguing writing style. If you like the Dresden Files these short stories are all Harry Dresden and a must have to the collection

The Dresden books are too few and far between, but these stories go far to making up for that. The Warden Luccio and the Zoo Story (eat your heart out, Edward Albee) go a long way toward making up for that. The zoo story, particularly, is interestingly structured.
