Fool Moon: The Dresden Files Book 2 Audio Book Summary:
Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is Chicago’s only openly practicing wizard. He is also dead broke. His vast knowledge and magical skills are unfortunately matched by his talent for making powerful enemies and alienating friends. With little more than his integrity left, he accepts an offer of work from Lt. Karin Murphy of Chicago’s Special Investigations Unit. He wants to redeem himself in Murphy’s eyes and make enough money to quiet his rumbling stomach.
Soon he finds himself pinned between trigger-happy FBI agents, shape-shifting motorcycle gang members, a threatened mobster boss, and an heir to an ancient curse along with his primal fiancé. Throw in environmental activists and a pair of young werewolves in love and you have something of Fool Moon.

Reactions:
“Fool Moon (nice pun, BTW) is about Dresden’s search to discover the source of a recent spate of killings, presumably by a werewolf. You will learn more about the different flavors of werewolf than you ever thought you wanted to know, and how they kill their prey (warning: not for the squeamish!). I’m going to download the rest of the Dresden series because I just have to know what happens next to Harry and how he’ll get out of it!” – Pterion
“I first discovered The Dresden Files series on NetFlix and was instantly hooked. I was nervous about reading Jim Butcher’s books after seeing the series, worrying that my preconceptions and possible knowledge of plotlines might take away from the experience, but there’s so much more to the characters and stories that I didn’t even think of the TV series as I listened. Wonderful characters, wonderful stories, wonderful prose. I liked Marster’s narration better in the second book. In fact, as much as I loved the first book, I found the second far more enjoyable, suspenseful, and thought provoking.” – Dave Ziegler
“This is the second book in the series and it is good. It is a bit better than the first as the author continues to grow in ability. It is fast-paced, fun and has plenty of action and humor. The constant interference by Murphy gets a bit tedious in this one but still makes for a great read. Once again the 3 stars is in order to show how the authors writing improves through the series. These are 3 Butcher stars which is 4-5 for most other authors. The narration is top notch as usual.” – Cliff
“I wasn’t particularly hooked by the first Harry Dresden novel, Storm Front, but decided to give this second book a try anyway. Alas, it’s more of the same predictable plot. Dresden cares deeply for his friend, Murphy, and always tries to be there for her. Alas, he is completely incompetent at effective communication, which inevitably results in Murphy becoming suspicious of him and cutting off any further opportunities resolve their communication problems. And despite Murphy supposedly being a smart cop, she continually behaves irrationally, persisting in her attempts to arrest Dresden at the worst possible times, and refusing to listen when important information is being presented. So, miscommunications abound, Dresden believes that all the problems are his fault, that he must fix everything, and Murphy continues to be suspicious of Dresden. Of course, if it weren’t for all this, the action would be substantially minimized, the plot dissolved, and the book would end in about 4 chapters.” – Rebecca
“The story was pretty good. Jim Butcher did a good job of introducing the characters, but I found him to wordy. I skipped forward a few times and did not miss a beat. The selling point is Harry. I have passed over this series too many times to count. It’s not bad. I would have enjoyed it more if I didn’t have to listen to the narrator breath and swallow. It’s worth the money or credit. I already bought the next book and plan to start on it tonight. I only hope I don’t have to listen to breathing and swallowing.” – Beatrice
