I hope this one was just a little off, because I've really enjoyed all the other ones.<BR/><BR/>rebecca, he's a great author, isn't he? I have always loved Isabel until this book. But, she just wasn't the same at all. I'll definitely read the next one when it comes out. I'm not ready to give up on the series, yet.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795619401977840939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-65105131338340500402008-11-10T22:04:00.000-05:002008-11-10T22:04:00.000-05:00I love McCall-Smith too.

I haven't really like most of the Isabel Dalhousie stories -- just the first. I feel they just keep getting worse. I guess I just don't really like Isabel. <BR/><BR/>ButRebecca Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062252252301802298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-72362351639459582292008-11-10T19:06:00.000-05:002008-11-10T19:06:00.000-05:00I admit I've been a bit of a chicken when it comes...I admit I've been a bit of a chicken when it comes to trying any of Alexander McCall Smith's other books, outside of the #1 Ladies' Detective Agency series which I am quite fond of. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully with this particular book you just read, it was an off one for the author and the rest will be better.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-89249895667492872262008-11-10T16:04:00.000-05:002008-11-10T16:04:00.000-05:00nymeth, it's weird -- sometimes I'm actually afrai...nymeth, it's weird -- sometimes I'm actually afraid to read books by favorite authors because I'm always afraid that they won't live up to my expectations. It was still an enjoyable read, but just not up to the standards I'm used to.
