I am an Alexander McCall Smith fan, that said, I did not love this book. Other reviews I've read claim this is a funny book...I'm sorry, but I did not find it funny. I thought the main character was selfish and self-obsessed. I kept waiting for some sort of growth based on his experiences, but it doesn't happen. Sort of depressing.

Funny and engaging. The characters are not at all like the Ladies' #1 Detective Agency series (which are my favorite). The story lacks the warmth, truth, and sweetness of those books. Still, if you enjoy characters with personality quirks and a flair for the absurd - this book will do very well.

Alexander McCall Smith starts another series; don't be fooled by the title -- it's in the same vein as his other comfortably paced, witty books, with literary and language allusions thrown in.

Alexander McCall Smith is an author who is able to write in different styles for his various series. This is another series that is a keeper. I really enjoy Professor Dr. Mortiz-Maria von Igelfeld.
