I surprisingly really liked this short story. To sum it up: Essentially a life lesson towards bullying in school - Jim Butcher style. Worth the read if you're a Dresden fan!

Simple story, the writing isn't as crisp as in many dresden books , probably because it's a short story, probably because it was written very early in Mr. butcher's career . Decent read though

I came across this story in a fantasy anthology, and given that I'm slowly making my way through The Dresden Files series, I thought I may as well log it here. It's a likeable story, if not an especially challenging one - it was pretty clear early on that the solution to this particular body-guarding crisis was to get the kid to stand up for himself. I feel as if it's pretty much standard-Butcher fare in that way, from the relatively few stories of his that I've read. "Sticking up for oneself" seems to be a theme in those stories, though it's nice to see Harry act more as a mentor than a wrecking ball in service of that. I'm more interested in him that way.

Well, this was a lot better than I expected. I liked both Bigfoot characters, the father and the son. Particularly this last one was very well brought for such a small amount of pages.
And I really liked Harry's part in the story. His talk with the kid is way more mature and smart than the usual ones that Harry has. I always like when Harry is smart :P
Yes, this was a really good one.
