Excellent, but then again, I still have to find a book by A. McC-S. that I don't like :-) If you don't know him yet, do yourself a favour and get one of his books, any which one will do. He's probably most famous for The N°1 Lady detective agency, which was made into a movie, but it's a whole series (probably 20 I reckon). The audio books made by the BBC (I think) are of very high quality, so recommended as well (got several of those and never disappointed). He has several series with different settings and heroes, my favorite being Dr Igelfeld, scholar in a linguistic department, and having been there myself I can swear Alex was a fly on the wall so close it is to reality. All his books are great, he is great. More here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_McCall_Smith . Ho yes, this specific book, I hear you say ? More of the same. funny, witty, crazy and extremely well written, as usual. The title sums it up, actually :-)

Number 3 in the series, and I believe the last one. Not bad at all, but I can't help feeling it's a good thing it's finished. I have the impression that each book is just a tiny bit less good than the previous (I avoided worse on purpose, because it's not that bad). Still worth a read, loads of twists even if sometimes a bit predictable.

Ini buku anak-anak. Buku ini ada di sini karena ini buku pertama yang saya baca dalam bahasa Indonesia :-) Ada juga resep telur asin.

@futzle Quite nice, thanks. As said, the first one has a kind of RDV with Rama flavour which I liked a lot. (I won't insult you and we'll take RDV with Rama as read :-) An absolute masterpiece in my eyes, much better than the "other" book that made him famous thanks to kubrik). The second was ok, but then end kinda lost me with the rescue details. Third (and last I have) ok so far. You could certainly do worse than re-reading them :-) Sorry late reply, didn't see I had comment. There is no specific bookwyrm client that I know of (privacydragon doesn't work on my phone) unfortunately, so no notification :-(

Excellent book - hard not to think about RDV with Rama, even if the plot is very different. Well written and really thrilling. The only thing I regretted was the end, which seemed a bit precipitated, it could easily have been delayed over another chapter or two :-) Definitely recommended.
