The D-Files (Trust No One)

So, I'm reading the first book in The Dresden Files series. And I'm not loving it. I thought I'd heard a lot of people rave about the series. Do they get better at some point?

I dunno, I gave up midway through the first book. I've read short stories written later and set later in the series, and the issues I had with the first book (Dresden seems too artificially constructed to me, and I just don't buy his combo woobie+tough-guy-from-the-streets act, plus the writing is barely workmanlike, plus there are too many gender stereotypes for me, etc) remain there later on.
