This review is from: The Sunday Philosophy Club (Paperback)

The real story begins at page 152. In the meantime, the book presents modern day spinster-hood dwelling both in both shallow philosophy and in shallow lifestyle. It should be a success in the like environment, where love is simply a frustrated feeling carrying on for some time, with no care for persons nor life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very good, but at least it was short, Jan 31 2011

This review is from: The Sunday Philosophy Club (Paperback)

What this book lacked in plot and interest, it more than made up for in brevity. The main character waxes philosophical on topics of morality, only to break her own rules through her own book and later justifies by re-evaluating her interpretation. Similar to people who interpret the bible to justify their actions as just.

This review is from: The Sunday Philosophy Club (Paperback)

I found it somewhat boring. After "#1 Ladies Detective Agency", It seemed to lack plot, excitement and interest.
I will not read the next books in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different but as good as or better than Ladies' Detective
I thoroughly enjoyed this book (as well as the sequel). The moral discussions included in the plot are intriguing. The characters are interesting and unpredictable. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Authentic and engaging ... for a while
As a former resident of Edinburgh (not too far from where Isabel lives), I can vouch for the skill with which Mr McCall brings the setting to life. Read more
