Tears of the Giraffe Audiobook

" I love the main character. She goes about solving crimes in a unique way. "

" REading this book was like catching up with an old friend. "

" Loved it so much I'm moving on the Morality for Beautiful Girls - the next in the series. I miss the HBO TV show starring Jill Scott and Anika Noni Rose. It was a great show based on wonderful series of stories! "

" Really enjoyed this one. He captures the essence of the country and the nature of his characters. Such a gentle quality to this writing. "

" Glorious, evocative, heart-warming and always makes me want to go to Botswana! "

" This was an enjoyable, light mystery. I liked the Botswana setting and the glimpses of the culture. "

" so mysterious ;) "

" This second books of the #1 Ladies Detective Agency series is my favorite. I simply like being in this book. "

" The series made me more intereted in the African continent "

" Another great book of Smith's. I loved the ending of this one. "

" Just a really fun book that transplants you in Africa "

" Listened to this one on tape. The woman's British accent made it even more enjoyable. The characters ate so fun in these books "

" It's a cute story. I don't feel like I HAVE to read it though, like some other books. I may get to the other ones at some point. "

" I like this book for a nice easy read. The characters are likable and the cases are clever. Sometimes the way she gets information out of people seems a little to easy but overall I like her and enjoyed the book. "

" Learning about Botswana. "

" I liked this best of the 4 No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series I have read. "

" Love this series. It is light, short and interesting. Especially considering it is written about a black african woman and written by a white man. "

" Another fun read. Love Mma Ramwotse! "

" Alexander McCall Smith's stories of the Ladies No.1 Detective Agency always make a very entertaining read. I've read most of them at least twice and have never been disappointed. "

" As good as the first one. Which is to say, very good. "

" I liked this one less than the first one - there's less mystery, more general story about the main characters, and the political subtexts are a lot less subtle - but it's still a thoroughly pleasant read. "

" My second book in this series, really enjoy them. Fabulous series, like a step back in time to a whole different world. "

" This series is fantastic. It has everything! Humor, heart, & even some mystery. The characters are so precious I loved them all & it was hilarious how they interacted with each other. Flawless series really. "

" I loved these, because of the voice of the main character, the setting, and the humorous and clever vignettes. "

" I read all three, the first one I really enjoyed. It game me insight as to what life in Africa might be like. By the time I read the 3rd book, the story line was overdone. "

" I have read almost all of the books in the series and have really enjoyed them. "

" Self-image, the importance of honesty and respect, pride in ones-self and the place they live, loyalty, how to enjoy a cup of hot tea, how to focus on nature; the importance of family and giving...and much more "

" I enjoyed every last one of these books. I wish Precious was my next-door neighbor. "

" Every book in this series is a gem. I met the author and he signed one of his books for me! "

" I will be honest book one was the hardest to get into, but after that it's been one after the other. They are clean and very fun! "

" Individually, it's easy to think, "What's the big deal?" They're just so simple and unassuming. But as a whole I just adore them. "

" This series of books is so unbelievably charming and wise that I barely know where to begin. They are deep without FEELING deep. They are humorous not in a knee-slapping way, but in a warm, feel-good way. I can't recommend them enough, and I look forward to more from this author. "

" Loved these books. They're good clean fun! "

" These books really hit my funny bone. Mma Ramotswe is so down to earth, and it's funny to be inside her head. While I'm reading these books, I can hear the narrator from "The Gods Must Be Crazy" movies. I would recommend the whole series to anyone. "

" These books give an intersting picture of life in Botswana, the start-up and maturation of the no 1 ladies detective agency, and the personal life of Mma Ramatswe. "
