Book 1 started slow for me. I'm use to books taking place in the US so some of the words were hard to say but by the time I was through the 2nd chapter I was hooked. I read book 2 and that was great and am looking forward to starting on book 3.

The Fallacy Detective: Thirty-Six Lessons on How to Recognize Bad Reasoning, 2nd Edition

Christian Logic, 2002

Good reading on detecting bad reasoning
We bought this book to give our homeschooled son (10) an introductory course on critical thinking. The short (approx 4 pages average) chapters are cute and illustrate logical fallacies we all come across each day. My wife and son read one chapter a day. A set of questions at the end of the chapter allow you to test knowledge acquired from the chapter. The answers for all questions are at the end ...

Dr. Komoti and the Others
I get a little kick out of thinking about Mma Ramotswe (a.k.a. Precious) driving all over Botswana and South Africa in her little white van. Whether in pursuit of straying husband, solving the mystery of a doctor with on and off again abilities, tracking down a kidnapped boy, exposing the farce of an elderly "father," or spying on a teenager for her father, Mma Ramotswe is a remarkable lady who ...

You never really know where its going to take you
Its an awesome book that keeps you wondering whats going to happen next. The way the stories interweave and the dialogue between the characters is great. The translation was extremely fluid. Oh yeah and in case you haven't figured it out its not really a Detective novel but more like following a written documentary spanning 30 years piecing together the lives of a misfit poetry group from Mexico ...

Excellent book for reading aloud!
My kids really enjoyed this book. I read it aloud to them last year, when they were in 2nd & 3rd grade, as part of our study of ancient civilizations. The book is set in ancient Rome, but the children are essentially modern. My kids related to them much more than they did to, say, Laura and Mary Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie. Those girls were very much part of the pioneer era they ...

Shaken up and put back together
If you have already read previous volumes in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, you are familiar with the main characters: Precious Ramotswe, Grace Makutsi, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, Charlie and the never-named "younger apprentice." This time around, though, everyone gets shaken up. Two of them leave their long-time occupations, only to return soon, but a bit wiser for their experience. As ...

There are several. But, instead, start the series at its beginning, and every time you feel depressed, read a book in the series. Besides feeling better, you will have learned a little about the ...

No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency
This entire set of books was a delight to read. They showed that people are the same, regardless of ethnicity or culture. During the course of reading these books, I learned a great deal about Botswana and its culture, history and people. The books were well written, interesting, and easy reading. Once I got started, I read the entire set in a few days. I can hardly wait for the movie to be ...

fun problem solving puzzle to introduce art to kids
This book was a lot of fun for my son and I. Readers are told that four gangs of forgers have replaced most of an art museum's paintings, and only we can help figure out which are real and which are forged. Using a magnifying glass, you compare 8" by 5" four color paintings to 4" by 4" originals, looking for changes (such as missing items or objects with different coloration). This allows you ...

Excellent Summer Reader
I gave this to my grandson in early June as school was closing in the hope it would keep him reading over the summer. I went over to visit and walked in the door to find him reading it diligently with a piece of paper in his hand. He kept writing letters down and them jumped up and said "I solved it" and showed me the solution. My daughter told me he has been going though the chapters and ...

Morality Is Not A Movable Feast
This is another wonderful slow amble through Botswana, but do not be deceived, badness is like a Mamba snake in the brush, waiting to catch you unawares. Pretty faces can hide bad thoughts and even worse morals. Or a total lack of morals. Even on the African plain where life should be serene it is not so, a brother is being poisoned and there is much unhappiness and suspicion in the household. A ...

Deadly fogs, horrible diseases, and brilliant medical detectives
Berton Roueché wrote for the "New Yorker" magazine for almost half a century, and was winner of the 1950 Albert Lasker Medical Journalism Award. His many volumes on physicians and medical detectives, including this book, were collected from his articles in the "New Yorker." "The Medical Detectives" volume II is great bedtime reading, because the good guys, i.e. physicians and epidemiologists ...

Mystery and Laugh Out Loud Funny
O Boy! Want some mystery? Good clean humor? No violence? Precious Ramotswe, a traditionally-built woman without apology, and her pals are here for us. She and her assistant, Grace (who gets advice from her colorful designer shoes), are very entertaining and many times, laugh-out-loud funny. I read the entire Ladies' Detective series in a couple of weeks. The books average about 200+ pages ...
