Yes. The thing to bear in mind, though, rather like Pratchett's Colour of Magic, is that the first book, Fool Moon, is not the best; the series does get better, though.
There were changes made to the books when made into a TV series: Bob is a talking skull in the books, for example, which I think was better, although I understand why the changes were made for television.
If I remember right. the books are more snarky, being told from Dresden's view - it was there in the series, but more so in the books I think.
Oh, in the interests of transparency, I was quoted on the back of some of the UK editions, although the quote was a sentence.
Lastly - there's a lot of books. I stopped at Ghost Story and haven't been back, because I thought it was pushing the idea a little too far. Allowing for that, the books are one of my favourite series - and definitely one of my favourite urban fantasy series ever.
Hope they hold up for you.
