The Kalahari Typing School for Men - Alexander McCall Smith
by Essexgirl2006 - written on 03/08/07 (Very useful, 98 readings)
Rating:
also has more of her own story as she sets up and runs her typing school. The whole book is as laid back as Mma Ramotswe s life style. McCall Smith s style of writing will not appeal to those who are used to a more action packed or fast paced book. Saying that, his gentle and elegant story telling is so easy to read that you find you will fly through the book really easily, this is not just because they are short books (this one is just over 200 pages long). The stories are character led, and do not come across as slow or uneventful because of it, possibly due to the unique way they are told (or woven). I have seen these books on the crime section in bookshops and think ...

The Kalahari Typing School for Men - Alexander McCall Smith

Rating:
a little bit lost. Of course, as the book progressed, I did get to understand and know these characters a bit better. This is probably because author Alexander McCall Smith does seem to have a way with characters. He has developed a central group for these novels who work in a type of harmony that I can only describe as “blurry”. It’s as if they’re all in this haze of a place and they all seem to move through it in slow motion. I’m assuming that this is McCall Smith’s way of setting a mood, and if so, he’s been very successful. These stories take place in Botswana, which is a very foreign location (for most of us), and McCall Smith makes us feel as if it’s the most ...

The Full Cupboard of Life - Alexander McCall Smith
by grahamt - written on 26/08/04 (Very useful, 124 readings)
Rating:
Alexander McCall Smith's enchanting stories about that most unlikely detective, Precious Ramotswe, have occupied the best seller lists practically unceasingly since they were first published in paperback in the UK in 2003. Many have been very surprised by this. After all, none of the books follow the fairly common trend of being weighty tomes. None run to much more that a couple of hundred pages and yet are full price. My own view is that they are unique in style. I don't think I have ever read another book quite like them. Now, we hear, such is their success that either the BBC is to turn these stories ...
