A Really great fun, quick read that actually is empowering to females and is even a great read for those who are active in the fat acceptance movement, meaning that the main character is fat and yet is not made into a joke! The writing isn't quite my style, i.e. very formulaic, like most detective works, so it took me a little longer to get what all the buzz is about, but I would definitely recommend it. I also found it very interesting to read a detective book that does not take place in the Western world, so not only was it an entertaining read, but it also was a little educational (for me, a person who lives in the States). HBO is currently doing a series based upon the books-unfortunately, I cannot compare, since I don't have HBO!!!
