The Full Cupboard of Life Audiobook

" A charming chapter in the life of the owner and sole operative of the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency in Gaberone, Botswana. An easy read, simultaneously naive and intelligent. "

" 3.5. Another enjoyable read by this author. "

" This book had very little to do with the detective agency (since they are so short, I guess that's the part that got left out, since he had so much else to do). Not my favorite book in the series, but I still enjoyed it. "

" Alexander McCall Smith wins again! Heartwarming, laugh out loud humour & pearls of wisdom. Mma Ramotswe is superb!!! x :) "

" Review similar to prevous books by Smith "

" The fifth book in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. Same as the others -- pretty good. Entertaining, but not what I would consider "great literature." It seems to me as if the author, while he's writing, forgets what the main mystery is supposed to be and squeezes an easy solution into the last ten pages of the book. It's been that way with every book so far. It's just kind of odd. I definitely do NOT think these books should be classified as mysteries, because there's hardly any mystery in them whatsoever. "

" This one makes me cry with joy every time I read it. I'm such a sucker for happy endings and people who are unfailingly polite and considerate. "

" Once again a lot of fun. I like how light-hearted these books are and easy to read even when there isn't a long time to read at one sitting. "

" I enjoyed the whole book, but I found the ending was particularly satisfactory. I felt like the author had added new life into the series. "

" Nice addition to the series "

" Ik vond dit deel wat minder goed dan voorgaande delen, maar blijft een fijn tussendoortje. "

" A decent vacation read. "

" Great series of light, warm very-cozy mysteries with engaging characters and gentle thoughts. Most enjoyable. "

" Still visiting Botswana....Mma Ramotswe gets married. "

" This is a great series! Great detail of the African landscape and culture. "

" Excellent series. Wonderful character development. Quick reads. "

" just as great as the rest of this series... i so enjoy reading this book outloud, with my [very bad} african accent. i am in love with mma Ramotswe! "

" These stories continue to be incredibly sweet, but maybe I shouldn't be reading them back-to-back...it's a bit monotonous. Oh, who am I kidding, I'm totally going to be getting the sixth book tomorrow. "

" It's about stinkin' time, Mr JLB Matekoni!! "

" I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed any of the series. I like books with a strong sense of place and this series certainly has that. "

" I loved this book as I have loved all the Ladies' Detective books. I think this might my favorite. I was reading it on the airplane and laughing out loud (and that was on a red eye flight). I guess I like the genuine simplicity, warmth and humour and also the African setting and characters. "

" Best ending so far "

" This was ok, but I am getting a bit bored of the series now. "

" Love this look into Botswana! "

" As usual, Mme Ramotswe slows life down and helps one appreciate the simplicity of life. "

" As ususl with this series, there are great nuggets about human behaviour. As usual, it was very restful to pick up the book and go to a hot, slow moving place. "

" I like these books. They are funny and uncomplicated. I'm not crazy about the narrator of the audiobooks. "

" About as good as the other books in the series, but probably not my favorite one. "

" As always another good installment of #1 Ladies Detective Agency "

" Very Good; Continuing character: Precious Ramotswe; a parachute jump for charity and background checks on a clients' suitors are the focus <br/> "

" I am still enjoying this author and series. They make me smile. <br/> "

" This novel is getting further away from mystery and more squarely into the domestic conflicts of the main characters. I wouldn't call this a cozy mystery. I'd call it a novel of manners set in Botswana. "

" The next book in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency finds Precious looking into potential suitors for a wealthy client, while Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni is persuaded by the matron of the orphan farm to help them raise money. Another light, easy read! "

" Alexander McCall Smith wins again! Heartwarming, laugh out loud humour &amp; pearls of wisdom. Mma Ramotswe is superb!!! x :) "

" Slower than the previous books. I'd give it a 2 but I did laugh 3 times. ;-) <br/> "

" Another great book from the No. 1 ladies Detective agency. I love these books, and love that they're dependably good. <br/><br/>If you haven't already, read this series! "
