I have ordered many books from Amazon, and have been delighted with the quality of the items, and the speed of the service. Eveything has been like new, and has arrived in just a few days. I have started a book club at the reitrement home where I am the Activity Director. These affordable books have made this club possible. I look forward to ordering many more items like this in the future. Sincerely, Fred D, Activity Director, Santa Barbara

This book took me a little while to get 'into' it but was a good read. Her dry humor was refreshing! We read this book in our 'Teachers Book Club."
Very well written February 8, 2008
Marvelous book--the princess is someone you could use to help guide your way of life. Stays interesting throughout the book. Characterizations are marvelous.

 Doesn't live up to the hype January 18, 2008

I enjoyed The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, although I don't feel it lived up to its mystery label. I felt this more to be a fiction story about Africa, with simple mysteries a way of moving plot forward and allowing back story highlighting African history and culture. Still, Precious Ramotswe is a likable character, and fans of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple are likely the readers who drove this book to the top of the National Bestseller lists.
