Talk about coincidence! I've read the No 1 detective agency, it's excellent and am currently reading The Kalahari typing school for men. It's by the same author and the forth in the series..The style is very evocative and the chapters of No 1 read like short stories, with one chapters per case so its easy to pick up and put down.A warning though once you start reading them you tend to go through the series quite quickly
No idea about the "Eats shoots and leaves" book except the old joke about the Panda who goes into a bar orders a beer, drinks it, pulls out a gun and shoots the bar staff. When a punter complains he remonstrates "I'm a Panda - Look it up!"
Panda
Eats, shoots and leaves...
The moral of the comma lives on
