16.Feb.2008 The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
I’ve finished this book a while ago, but just have time to write about it now. It’s very light reading. Like someone said, reading it feels like having a holiday in Africa, with people’s and places’ funny names and all. The setting is in Botswana, about a lady detective called Mma Ramotswe. She’s on for a few cases, which I think a bit ordinary, no twist and surprises. The whole book is pretty flat either, no particular climax. It’s still quite refreshing though. Like I said, it’s like a not very happening holiday. At the very least, it’s relaxing.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Light reading, enjoyable, simplistic. I will continue reading the series.
