Actors were great! I do wonder if I could spoil you as to how Bob is 
portrayed in the books.

Alla:

I would recommend Dresden files, all ten of them without any 
hesitation whatsoever. I am just begging and pleading with you to not 
give up after first book, because it drags in places, sort of. But 
then IMO it only gets better, writing improves significantly, world 
getting more and more layered and apparently author does have a plan 
with adding new players to the game between good and evil. Character 
who is introduced in third book for example gets a major significance 
from book 6 and on, all that kind of stuff.

So, yes, totally totally recommend everything including a prequel 
that he did this year, comic style. NOT "backup", but Welcome to the 
jungle. Mind you, you do not have to read prequel first, it is just 
one of his cases done before the first book starts, but it is 
amusing, it is written by Butcher and graphics are just cool IMO.

Oh I can talk about these books for a long time.
