ATTRACTIVE PRICES.
The magic that you gat a guy in less than two!
This is a very nice little book which reads very quickly, the evidence I've read in a day. We are therefore
Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden's full name. "According to three famous magicians" as he says himself. We recognize of course the famous illusionist Copperfield's David Copperfield 90 years. The other two are a little less obvious. Blackstone, actually refers to two magicians at the When Harry Blackstone Sr. and Harry Blackstone Jr., who seem to be best known in the United States. For my part, I thought that Harry was referring to Harry Houdini, who claimed to have Harry as the first name chosen in homage to Harry Kellar an illusionist he greatly admired.
But unlike those magicians who are really just magicians, illusionists, Harry is real magic, magic magic might say somehow. Magic-based spells and other potions ...
Potions whose ingredients are also well smile, "a patter of mice", "shadow flicker", "engine oil for taste" "Gatorade" (famous energy drink) ... Here there is no ingredient too "common" as the drooling toad and other trifles of the same style ...
Harry is a powerful magician, but it is especially foremost a kind of "loser", always broke, always badly dressed, and that always happens the worst trouble. But besides that, it seems to have a certain charm, since it seems he does not go unnoticed by women.
Harry is funny, it has a very good sense of humor. He also has a rather high opinion of himself at the magical level, he suggested several times in fact it is the best and the others are not worth much. Opinion obviously not shared by all when we see certain characters, or you learn some facts.
The story is well written, the pages are turned quickly to see what disaster will still be able to get to that poor Harry, who really seems to earn it the gift of trouble. Everyone was after him and everyone wants him dead.
For cons, the translation has made some adjustments and liberties with the original text that I was a little shocked. All the characters in Dresden are American, and yet a moment to talk about a woman says she Dresden reminds him a bit of a mixture of "Simone Signoret and Fanny Ardant" ... Sure, these are two great French actresses, but it must still admit that there is little chance that the average American woman compares two French actresses of the blue. And at another time, we are told that a space is parked outside a house. Again, realistically, there are very few Americans who drive French cars, and probably not Spaces. So why have adapted? The French public has seen enough American movies and series to learn a little "world" American and did not require that he put things typically French. And yet, I guess we should count ourselves lucky to have escaped the stereotype of the R4! Good
otherwise, except those small negatives, it's really a nice book, no-brainer, that has a good hold, which is good smile, and that also reads very quickly. I wait to see the further adventures of Dresden.
