I have been reading the Dresden files by jim butcher and I am up to no 8. I enjoyed reading them so much when I saw the tv series on prime I thought I would give it a go. The only problem with reading the books first you get things in your mind about different characters and what they look like. I didn't like Murphy as I didn't imagine her like that and some other things were a bit different to the books. I did like bob. But I will say I did enjoy it and so did my husband
