The Miracle at Speedy Motors

Wonderfully written tale in the continuing series. Mma Ramotse shows her consistent wisdom through her unselfish behavior toward those both close to her and those unkind to her. This series is excelent for both adults and older children. High principles remain a constant in the series. Kudos to Alexander McCall Smith for his use of excellent vocabulary as well.

The Miracle at Speedy Motors

What an absolutely charming book this is, and a wonderful continuation of all the others in this series! Somehow all the good things in life seem to come out without the reader realizing it, and it is a book that is extremely hard to put down. Congratulations to Mr. Smith!

what a lovely book

again, he has written a 'lovely little book'. It is always so refreshing to read Ladies' book because you know that goodness will triumph over adversity. Even in distress, there will be a good moral.

The magic seems to be leaving

I loved this series from the start. While Miracle at Speedy Motors is still enjoyable, it's just not as good as most of its predecessors. A couple of points- Mma Makutsi is being treated more harshly by the author- in this and the last book, her characterization is definitely negative.

Further, I think that the author missed a great chance to focus on the daughter. We never know if the 'treatment' was real or fake. I loved the idea, brought up in the second book, that this girl would be the heir to Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, but Smith seems to have left that idea behind.

My final review- good, but I really, really wish it was great.
