I have now listened to at least three, maybe four Jim Butcher "Dresden Files" books on tape. My wife and I listen to them on long car rides. She likes them because they are read by some actor who was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I have to admit that I am usually not a fan of books on tape, but these are really well read, and quite good if you like that sort of thing. I have a feeling the novels themselves might not hold the same appeal if I were reading them. But they're entertaining enough, and I do think the latter ones are better than the ones in the beginning of the series. This one, being in the middle of the series, I felt was also fairly middling.
