5.0étoiles sur 5 A fantastic story, Fév 20 2005
Par Ralph Doh (London, UK) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Tears of the Giraffe (Paperback)
A fast flowing story set, Tears of the Giraffe is one of the best books I have read. With good values expressed through characters that are lively, this book showed a beautiful side of Africa, where commitment is held sacred, where love is deep and hospitality is the norm. Fast paced and hilarious, this book hooked me all the more to the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency.Also recommended: The Full Cupboard of Life, The Usurper and Others , Disgrace

5.0étoiles sur 5 Joy, Juil 8 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Tears of the Giraffe (Paperback)
The obvious success of this book is due to the #1 Ladies Detective Agency. And the desire to see what comes next is understandable. This is one great series of books and they deserve their place on the bestseller lists. The main character, Precious, solves the few actual mysteries in the sequels in creative ways that surprise the reader. These sequels, particularly "Giraffe," are a bit more about Precious' relationship with J.L.B. Matekoni, a bit less about the detective agency. But they follow smoothly from "#1 Ladies..." and are equally good. Set in Botswana, the books give such a clear and beautiful picture of that country today that now I would like to learn more about it. Would also recommend Life of Pi and The Bark of the Dogwood.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Great Follow Up for the No. 1 Ladies Dectective Agency, Jui 24 2004
Par LoriDee (New York USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Tears of the Giraffe (Paperback)
Mma Ramotswe is at it again! The No. 1 Ladies Dectective Agency has taken on some new and interesting cases. In this story things are not as clear cut as they seem and Precious Ramotswe ponders the morality of telling the truth, telling lies and in general the imperfection of the human condition. Her insights into the psyche of human nature are all to true. Alexander McCall Smith has again created a wonderful vignette of stories that delight the reader with their simple storyline, yet complex implications into the nature of women, men and children. In this series we get to know several characters more intimately including, Precious Ramotse's fiance Mr. J.L.B. Maketoni. He is a wonderfully rich character that adds much to the story and I am looking forward to reading future installments that include the evolvement of their relationship. I am constantly enthralled by McCall Smith's description of the African continent and it's people and find these descriptions both heart warming and heart breaking. It seems there are many changes ahead for Mma Ramotswe; a new family an assisant dectective and a new husband. I look forward to the continuation of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency and the unique insights that Precious Ramotswe has for the readers.
