2017 Reading Challenge
This year I'm doing a Reading Challenge; so I have 26 books with specific subjects that I need to read.
Book 11:A book set in your hometown/region

I couldn't find a book set in my home town, so I chose my home away form home - Cape Town.
We vacation in the Cape every year, and if given a choice I would move there tomorrow.


I think I've made a mistake to read this in English.
[a:Meyer's|283304|Deon Meyer|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1225442760p2/283304.jpg] dry sense of humor is not properly portrayed in the translation, and it makes the book tedious.
The main character sounds more like a teenager with raging hormones than a thirty-something grown man; but it was good to learn where everything started. How Mat became the man I got to know in the
Benny Griessel Series


I'm thinking of reading the books in order, so that the characters makes more sense. I've read a few books out of order and I think I spoiled somethings for myself.
But I need to read it in Afrikaans. - Book hunting!
