Yeah, that's my title. It's because trying to explain why I love The Dresden Files so much makes my brain do exactly that. That's what happens to my mind the second I think of this wonderful series. It is literally my favorite book series, and Butcher my favorite author. I am a very avid reader, so this kinda says a lot.

First off there's the fact it's in first-person, which I love. I've always been a big fan of the viewpoint, and this series is a grand example of it's sheer might. Dresden is a brilliant narrator and being inside his head allows for some of the funniest moments in novel history. The universe is incredibly well-thought out, with so many different factions and monsters, each with a tie to some mythology. The magic system is brilliant. I don't know what to type on the subject of the characters because honestly it might have the best cast ever. It is also hilarious, one of the funniest series ever written.

I find it hard, if not impossible to be objective with this series. It is one of the few franchises that molds perfectly into my brain so that I cannot be rational with them. (Another is the Haruhi franchise) They simply push all of my love buttons at the same time, to the point I can hardly type this sentence because all I want to do is jump up and down while squeeing, then run to the nearest human being so I can blather for hours about whatever detail of the series comes to mind. I am truly a Dresden fanboy. If you have not given this series a try yet, and you are capable of reading English, you are doing yourself a disservice. Please go to your nearest library or bookstore and rectify it by getting Storm Front. Here, I'll help you out the door. VENTAS SERVITAS!
