I've been listening to some of the Dresden Files books that B has on her iTunes at work. While I like a lot of the world and plot, the people annoy me too much to continue. They all react too strongly to too little info. Everyone's actions are so extreme, it's not even realistic. I have a hard time believing that police officers will arrest people

I found the ump-to-conclusions nature of the characters a bit annoying as well. Though it did seem to drop off around the third book. How far did you get?

Half way through book 2. I should plug through then? It's worth it?

Yes, I would. I enjoyed the third and fourth books. The writing improves quite a bit. Keep in mind that the first two books were written while he was a student and young. So the books improve with his better grasp of writing, age and exposure to the real world. ;)

I couldn't get through book 2 either. I tried a couple times but it annoyed me. I only read them bc I liked the tv series and the two are sooo different though.
