An improbable tale, but still fun to read.

"I am truly sorry, Professor von Igelfeld," she said. "This is no way for a country to treat a distinguished visitor. Shooting a visitor is the height, the absolute height, of impoliteness."

Silly but entertaining novel about a pompous professor and his endless search for the respect he deserves. Although it started out a bit slow, things picked up once he got to Colombia, and I loved the ending.

Book 3 in the series about Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld of the Institute of Romance Philology. This is one of the funniest books yet. I don't know how (the author) Alexander McCall Smith comes up with these stories!!!

The professor has some adventures outside of Regensburg, which is a relief, the office politics were winding down in Germany. I've read all 3 books, and I think this is the best one, although I am too much like the good Professor Doctor to really enjoy this series fully.

Although the book is very short it was a fun read with a very annoying main charater. It is interesting to have a unsympathetic main character.

This book was just not something I enjoyed. In other words it was boring, to me.

This was probably the book in the series that I've liked the least. No particular reason other than the adventures that Professor von Igelfeld just weren't very interesting to me.
