There is never a quiet moment on 44 Scotland Street. In The World According to Bertie, Pat deals with the reappearance of Bruce, which has her heart skipping—and not in a pleasant way. Angus Lordie's dog Cyril has been taken away by the authorities, accused of being a serial biter. Unexpectedly, Domenica has offered to help free him. As usual, Big Lou is still looking for love, and handing out coffee and advice to the always contemplative Matthew. And Bertie, the beleaguered Italian-speaking six year old prodigy, now has a little brother, Ulysses, who Bertie hopes will help distract his pushy mother Irene. Beautifully observed, cleverly detailed, The World According to Bertie is classic McCall Smith and a treat for his avid fans as well as his first time readers. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Blissfully hilariousOK--Up front, let me admit that I'm one of those people who think Alexander McCall Smith can do no wrong. His multiple series, that run the gamut from Botswana to Scotland to Germany and beyond, are simply the best satirical writing and exploration of the modern human condition that I have come across in years (and I would be glad to know of other living writers of this ilk, as there cannot be enough of them to service the world in its current complicated and often melancholy state). Read More Rating: - The World According to BertieAlexander McCall Smith is a versatile and talented writer. I have enjoyed each of the series I have read: The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency (my fav) 44 Scotland Street and the Sunday Philosophy Club. I have never been disappointed with the service or time line on any book I have ordered thru Amazon.com and the used book sellers. Rating: - Charm in SpadesThe wonderful thing about this series is that it keeps getting better with every installment. Filled with warmth and wit the folks of 44 Scotland Street continue their utterly charming lives. Pat ponders Matthew, Angus laments Cyril, vain Bruce arrives back in town, and Bertie once again struggles valiantly not only against his overbearing mother, but Olive as well. Rating: - Back in good formI was happy to read this fourth installment in the 44 Scotland Street books. It was back to the form of the 1st book. VERY enjoyable! Rating: - The World According to BertieI've read all of Alexander McCall Smith's books written for adults. "The World According to Bertie" is a wonderful example of this author's intelligence, understanding, knowledge and Scottish wit.
