I really liked the TV show (bad acting aside) and had high hopes for this series. And, you know, I'll probably keep reading it, but only when I can get the books for free. I get the sense that Butcher is a bit of a misogynist, or at least a much firmer believer in strong gender dichotomies than I am. His writing's also a bit choppy and cliched.

I'd use it for beach reads, or days when you want something really fluffy.
