 Entertaining and Funny October 5, 2008

The only thing wrong with this is that it's not long enough. It was wonderful hearing the voice of the brilliant, funny, and seemingly very kind author of so many gentle and entertaining books. Anyone who loves his books will enjoy this. Absolutely charming especially when he laughs at his own silliness.

I really enjoyed reading many of McCall Smith's novels and so I was very interested in listening to the author himself speaking! He has such an infectious giggle that it made me giggle to hear him. He did have trouble getting started, I thought, but once he got into the heart of his message, it was very good. You know, he does that when he writes too, has his characters go off on tangents of thought. If you like his books, you will enjoy this inside look into the author's life. If you have not read or do not care for McCall Smith's books, (and not everyone does ) skip this item. As for me, I am glad to own it. I'm sure I'll listen to it again.

Funny, witty. To listen to him is fall in love with the person who created this very much needed good read series about africa and goodness in man.
 A short but amusing CD June 20, 2008

I have always thoroughly enjoyed the audio books by Alexander McCall Smith. Although I enjoyed listening to him on this CD and he has a "Very" infectious laugh, there was very little substance here. He kept going off on tangents and at times I found that my mind was wandering. Thankfully it is a short CD and I did not pay very much for it.

In addition to being an extremely talented writer, Alexander McCall Smith is very funny in person. I found his lecture very entertaining.
